"It works fairly well and better than any that I have tried to install

I didn't even know there was an OS/2 version.  I was answering the quote 
above.  I've learnt something :-)

Well, no actually.  Not since my last  eCS box was put to pasture.  I 
haven't had an eCS box for over a year now.  Now I enjoy hardware 
support ;-)
Don't think that my almost 11 yrs with OS/2 aren't fondly remembered 
though.  If it was supported as well as Linux I'd still be there, coz 
underneath it's still ahead of the time.  It just got sick of wishing 
that I could use modern hardware without all the hassles.

Cheers

Dont all of these codecs require you to be running ODIN and WarpVideo ? 
- I didn't think these would work with MPlayer ?

with very new hardware on Linux as well.Hmm,  Are you saying you don't 
get hassles with the latest hardware under Linux ?? I think you'll 
probably get less but I know there are often hassles I guess Project 
Voyager should be of interest to you ? (WPS on BSD base).

Cheers/2

Subject:   USB Printing

It appears on my new system, that if I enable legacy USB support, USB 
printing stops working ? Has anyone else seen this and know why ?

Once I disable legacy USB support in the system BIOS, printing via USB 
works again.

Thanks Mike and Ed,

I have actually now accessed the site. I couldn't get into it on my 
lad's XP-box either, even after following those instructions.

Then I twigged.

The alpha-numeric password I was given is case-sensative.

Mozilla worked fine.

I'll crawl back in my box now. :-!
