      -> I have been using OS/2 to run my BBS since feb. 1996 and have yet to       -> find a DOS program that doesn't work under OS/2+DOS.              Borland C++ 3.1 fails.              -> The BBS is running under Warp 4 FP12.              FP12 seems good here too. But I had to use IBM1S506.ADD from MCP2 to get       my SIS IDE controller using UDMA. And the IBM com.sys driver from MCP2       works with my PCI serial card.              Running a stress test with SIO (1.60d) shows that it uses 100% of the       CPU on an inbound transfer at 115200. The IBM com.sys only uses 3% on       the same test. SIO gives the app many small packets, hammering the CPU.              --- PCBoard (R) v15.4/M 250 Beta        * Origin: Torres Vedras - Portugal (2:362/6)    |
