Subject: [os2genau] ubject: [OT] Toshiba Laptop Battery pack

Greetings,

I have 2 Toshiba li-ION PA2487U battery packs
1 with good cells in a damaged housing
1 with bad cells in an undamaged housing

I'd like to transfer the contents of one to the other.

Has anyone pulled one of these things apart?
It looks like it will come apart with a bit of care, but I'd like to
know how, I don't want to damage it.

Alternatively, does anyone have dead battery packs of this flavour?
Perhaps if I had a few that could be "sacrificed" I could then learn how
to refurbish them without destroying their housing.

Subject: [os2genau] CD Audio playing problem

Hi All,

Any clues on this one.

I recently upgraded to a SoundBlaster Live card from an ISA SB Vibra 16
card and having uninstalled MMOS2, re-installed, then the drivers
(Sander Van Leeuwen's Linux port). However, using the build-in OS/2 CD
player or the one I have been using for years (CDinaBox) wouldn't work.
Keeps saying the CD is unattached and/or an rc=5010 error.

Having checked the hardware all seemed fine. Then I found a CD player
that does not use MMPM. Lo-and-behold -  music!! As expected the
hardware is cool.

Sound there must be some issue with MMPM/MMOS2, but where, what, how?

Thanks,
Leigh Bunting

Last Tuesday's meeting decided on having a hardware session on the 8th
April from 1pm to 5pm or so at ARPA, 84 Archer St. North Adelaide.

I'm just waiting on confirmation that the room is available. There is a
party in it the night before and there was some issue about whether it
was going to be cleaned up Sunday morning ar not.

So stay tuned - the last one was well attended with the room turning
into a mission control centre look-alike.

I agree.  I use a boot manager setup, as do most OS/2 multi-os users.

Sure... but I think the issue is that you shouldn't have to.  If you can install Windows ME and Linux on the 
same machine without any hangs or failures, why not OS/2.  All variants from Windows95 thru to ME have 
made it more difficult than was necessary to install OS/2, from needing to set the OS/2 partition Startable using 
Fdisk (or the like), all the way to hunting down and destroying the boot manager partition (I believe this 
"feature" had to be removed from the beta before the GA was shipped).

Cheers folks,
Gavin

I don't really know.  The only group I knew of was the one you mentioned,
and like you said... it's closed.  I don't know anyone much else in Perth
and I have been relying pretty much on the overseas OS/2 web sites for
updates, news, etc, until I joined this list.

Not much interest in the office I work in.  Most machines are the sort
susceptible to the VBS viruses that come rolling through the place, with a
few OS/2 holdouts (well, the smarter people) in other groups that I know
of.

Subject: [os2genau] strange email goings on

Hi everyone

I'm hoping that someone will be able to put some light on this,
there is an email address 

msuspprtcomcmptratnetscape dot net

that bounce back to me, generating 4 error messages for every post
to the list.

it appears to be generated by an as unknown email address on
this list, which must be forwarded on to some other email address.

The message I get back is from MAILER-DAEMONataol dot com
but with a header claiming it is from  juicer38.bigpond dot com

juicer38.bigpond dot com [139.134.6.95] appears to be a gateway
translater of some sort.

The total path taken is as follows

mail.
mail2.bigpond dot com <Claudes-Predictive-MailRouter V2.9c>
juicer38.bigpond dot com
mailin7.bigpond dot com <Netscape Messaging Server 4.15>
mta02.mail.au.uu dot net
omr-r06.mx.aol dot com
rly-na02.mx.aol dot com
air-na01.mail.aol dot com                  < DNS & mailrelay server>
msuspprtcomcmptratnetscape dot net  <Final destination address>

Does anyone recognise this last address ??
This complete trail is returned to me in the
error message, and is definitly not normal.
Unfortunetly, due to juicer38.bigpond dot com
I've been unable to see to whom the email was
send to from the list, its dumped the email address
the list send it to, and replaced it with
msuspprtcomcmptratnetscape dot net !!!

Hmm, MS U SuPPoRTCOMCMPTR :-)

It has also been happening since the list was setup, so
as you can imagine, is generating an awful lot of extra
email error messages for me.

I received  a bounce with this address and this is some of the detail:

Sounds like a text book driver issue to me. (Driver incompatible with

Looks like someone with an aol account coming in via the bigpond 
Home ISP.

Do aol/netscape also have a free email service (like hotmail) ? 
In which case it could be someone connected via Telstra Big Pond
Home and using this web-email instead of the normal telstra mail
servers.

Thats my reading on it anyway.

I'm sure many of you, like I, miss the Warpcast, news service which
stopped a few months ago.

Well, I've found  site that seems to include many news updates of the
type that used to appear through Warpcast - check it out:


  http://en.os2 dot org/


I'm sure many of you already know of this site, but I for one hadn't
realised it had these up to date news items about OS/2.
