 RJ> This isn't a hardware echo, it's about an operating system called

 RJ> hardware". Anyhow, onward ...

 Actually the guys in the OS/2 hardware echo sent me here, saying i may get
a better response, as os/2 zone 3 was all topic related and it was much
closer to home than the USA. BTW there is a fidonet area called OS2HW which
is the hardware topics for OS/2. Are you sure you are getting all your OS/2
feeds from your HUB provider?

 I have actually fixed this by assigning the mouse to IRQ2 would you believe. 
 The last time i assigned the IRQ2 (my network card) it completely
destroyed the operating system. When the 7 CD Rom changer did a disk
change, it got an IRQ conflict, and the screen went black. When i rebooted
my desktop was gone, so i had to re-create it. This is why i never tried
the IRQ2 again, but i was desperate, so i tried it again,

 Well the P100 is much faster actually, in graphical terms. I wanted to get
away from the VLB as it was difficult to keep putting in the VLB, and it
popping out all the time. PCI is much easier :)
