        OS/2 doesn't like it when a program tries to directly access
hardware, without passing through OS/2.  You may want to try to set the
HW_TIMER.  If that doesn't work either, try using a DOS version of your
program.  With my Colorado Jumbo 350, I couldn't get the Windows 3.1
software to work under OS/2, but the DOS version works fine.  Finally,
let COM-Byte know that you'd like to receive an OS/2 version of their
software, as the Windows 3.1 version does not work correctly.  I know that
if I ever buy another storage device, I'll demand OS/2 software.  If the
company is unable to comply, I'll get something else.  And I've told
Colorado about that too.
