Greetings Ebbe,
EK>Here you will find a description on how to boot a specific DOS version
EK>under OS/2. I'd advise you to look at the topic "Starting DOS from an 
mage
EK>file", found at the bottom of the help page. Here is describe how to 
reate
EK>a file containing a bootable DOS image i.e. you don't need to boot from a
EK>diskette.
     Thanks for that tip, I will have to try this.  At this point I
think I may have exhausted the other avenues available with regards to
settings.  I considered the above but was under the impression that one
needed a floppy disk to boot a DOS image.  I learn something new every
day!
     The other possibility could be my IO card.  It is a DTC 2278 VL-bus
EIDE/IO card.  I know that DOS/Win. required special drivers for 32 bit
file and disk access.  Perhaps OS/2 requires special drivers to properly
access the ports.  Then again, I may be overanalyzing this since the
OS/2 TCP/IP stack and Procomm Plus for Windoze both access my external
modem without a hitch and my serial mouse works fine.
                                                Best Regards,
                                                   Greg
