perhaps it's a hardware issue:
as I recall, the early Pentium m/b only supported max. of 64MB RAM, or. more to
the point, could only address max of 64MB;

so, if the hardware couldn't do it, what does it matter ?

I have an old ThinkPad 160MB HD, with a working copy of Warp3.

I've had a look but cant see any info obviously relating to Max RAM,
only minumum hardware specs.

I can tell you that Warp3, FP43 runs with full access to 128MB RAM
on an IBM PS/2 Model 77i with an Intel Pentium OD80.

As Voytek mentioned, might be his Hardware, has he checked his
BIOS settings if its nonIBM, and made sure MEM for OS/2 is "OFF" ?

If its an early IBM ValuePoint, I can vagely remember something
about a patch for Keyboard and RAM problems, early 486 models
only I think.

============================

(2.6) More Than 16 MB RAM

 Can I use more than 16 MB of RAM?

OS/2 Warp will address all the RAM in your system.  If the BIOS recognizes the
memory, OS/2 Warp will find it and use it.

However, on certain systems the RAM beyond the 16 MB boundary may be used as a
fast swap area.  OS/2 Warp relies on its swap file, SWAPPER.DAT, to hold code
and data which cannot fit into real memory (i.e.  to provide virtual memory).
If the swap file (and applications) can only be accessed via a hard disk
adapter which uses 24-bit DMA for disk access (e.g.  the Adaptec 154x series),
then the system must move code and data below the 16 MB boundary before it can
write it to disk.  This "double move" is costly (in terms of performance), and
often OS/2 Warp will merely use all the RAM above the 16 MB boundary as a fast
swap area (before writing to disk) to avoid the problem.  It is up to the hard
disk adapter driver, however, to decide how to handle this situation.

Only AT bus adapters are limited to 24-bit DMA.  Microchannel, EISA, VESA
LocalBus, and other 32-bit adapters are not so limited.  Moreover, only a
select few AT bus hard disk adapters utilize DMA.  Nearly all MFM, RLL, ESDI,
and IDE adapters, and most SCSI adapters, do not use DMA for disk access.

Suffice it to say that, regardless of your present hardware, OS/2 Warp will
take advantage of it as best it can.  However, if you are planning new
hardware purchases, you may wish to take this particular hardware design
limitation into account.  Specifically, if you plan to install more than 16 MB
of RAM in your system, either choose a 32-bit hard disk adapter (Microchannel
or PCI, for example) or choose an AT bus adapter which does not utilize DMA
for disk access (a standard IDE adapter, an Adaptec 152x series SCSI adapter,
or a Future Domain SCSI adapter, for example).  The performance trade-off is
highly system dependent, however.  You may find that even DMA adapters such as
the Adaptec 154x series outperform the alternatives in certain cases.

Thanks Gavin, I have the minimum specs (interestingly though, the handbook that is
packed with OS/2 Warp 3 says 4 MB minimum RAM, you say the box (I don't have the box
any more) says 8MB ? What I need in a documented form is if the OS is installed on a
machine with e.g. 128MB of RAM, that it will be used. I believe the 16bit OS/2 (1.x)
used memory over 64MB in a different way (hence the setting in many BIOSes, even to
this day) and that's where the confusion is coming from. Of course Windows 95 OSR2 (not
Microsoft's interesting naming of the product), only used memory over 64MB as a disk
cache.

The hardware in use are IBM Netfinity 3000 servers, so the hardware can definately address
more that 64MB. I take your point though.

I believe the hardware is configured correctly, as I mentioned in my reply to Voytek,
these are Netfinity 3000's.

I don't believe there is a problem, it purely a conception that this customer has that
warp 3 can't address over 64MB. I simply can't find any written doco, defining what it
can address and use. I'd expect it to be at least 2 GB but as I said, I just can't
find anything that I can point this customer to as a reference !

Hi Ed,
Sorry I misinterpreted the question.

It was my understanding that all versions of Warp could handle over 64Mb ram.  It was 
only the pre-warp versions of OS/2 that had the different addressing method, and hence 
the bios option for os/2 memory addressing.  I've heard alot of windows users talk 
about this and all of them have had the same preconception that your customer has.  
They see the option about OS/2 and memory and automatically apply a theory for all 
versions of os/2 without ever using or investigating.

I could install Warp3 connect on my machine here.  It has 128mb

Oh and about the min specs on the box.  Warp 3 was indeed 4mb min, Warp 3 connect 
is 8mb min.  I had copies of both.  Warp 3 came preinstalled on my PC350.  Warp 3 
connect I bought later, but the documentation came from Warp 3 and does mention the 
4mb min spec even though the box says 8.

Thanks, added it :-)

ok, I have unrared my OS/2 Warp v3 FP40 image from CD onto a spare
SCSI drive, altered the config.sys and added Adaptec SCSI drivers from
earlier this year, reset the video to VGA, unplugged the other SCSI HD's
in my Netfinity 3000 here, and booted OS/2 Warp3, it access's and reports
768MB of ram :-)

         transcript

"Mr. LaForge, have you had any
         success with your attempts at finding a weakness in the
         Borg? And Mr. Data, have you been able to access their
         command pathways?"   "Yes, Captain. In fact, we
         found the answer by searching through our archives on
         late Twentieth-century computing technology."

          "What the hell is `Microsoft'?"

          "Allow me to explain. We will
         send this program, for some reason called `Windows',
         through the Borg command pathways. Once inside their
         root command unit, it will begin consuming system
         resources at an unstoppable rate."

          "But the Borg have the ability to adapt. Won't
         they alter their processing systems to increase their
         storage capacity?"

          "Yes, Captain. But when `Windows' detects this,
         it creates a new version of itself known as an
         `upgrade'. The use of resources increases exponentially
         with each iteration. The Borg will not be able to adapt
         quickly enough. Eventually all of their processing
         ability will be taken over and none will be available
         for their normal operational functions."

          "Excellent work. This is even better than that
         `unsolvable geometric shape' idea."

         . . . 15 Minutes Later . . .

          "Captain, we have successfully installed the
         `Windows' in the Borg's command unit. As expected, it
         immediately consumed 85% of all available resources.
         However, we have not received any confirmation of the
         expected `upgrade'."

          "Our scanners have picked up an increase in
         Borg storage and CPU capacity, but we still have no
         indication of an `upgrade' to compensate for their
         increase."

          "Data, scan the history banks again and
         determine if there is something we have missed."

          "Sir, I believe there is a reason for the failure
         in the `upgrade'. Apparently the Borg have circumvented
         that part of the plan by not sending in their
         registration cards."

          "Captain, we have no choice. Requesting
         permission to begin emergency escape sequence 3F ...."

          "Wait, Captain! Their CPU capacity has
         suddenly dropped to 0% !"

          "Data, what does your scanners show?"

          "Apparently the Borg have
         found the internal `Windows' module named `Solitaire',
         and it has used up all available CPU capacity."

          "Let's wait and see how long this `Solitaire'
         can reduce their functionality."

         . . . Two Hours Pass . . .

          "Geordi, what is the status of the Borg?"

          "As expected, the Borg are attempting to
         re-engineer to compensate for increased CPU and storage
         demands, but each time they successfully increase
         resources I have setup our closest deep space monitor
         beacon to transmit more `Windows' modules from something
         called the `Microsoft Fun-pack'.

          "How much time will that buy us?"

          "Current Borg solution rates allow me to
         predicate an interest time span of 6 more hours."

          "Captain, another vessel has entered our
         sector."

          "Identify."

Windows infection on the drive for the last few months and this month's review of
Lycoris (aka Redmond Linux) and it's inclusion on the cover CD is definately not what
Microsoft would like to see.

Ian,

  thanks for the practical proof of the document. The customer had actually REMOVED RAM
when they got the 128MB Netfinity 3000's because they thought it wouldn't work !

Double Doh !

Subject:  [os2genau] FS: Xircom CM-56G PC-Card v90 modem

Hi,
I've mistakenly purchased a Xircom CM-56G PC-Card v90 modem, thinking
it was a 10/100 LAN adapter as well.

This is a proper hardware modem, OS/2 friendly.

If anyone is interested in purchasing this for $130 + delivery, please
reply off-list.

Regards,

Daryl  Pilkington
