Hi folks, I put in new BIOS for $65 and STILL no OS/2 1.3. I don't know
what the problem is.. HELP! Will someone E-mail me a copy of a device
driver BASEDD01.SYS from OS/2 1.2? Please.. If anybody is from IBM who
knows the answer HELP!... It's an ACMA, x386/33, with AMI BIOS 4/90 and new
Keyboard driver... with 150 meg ESDI hard disk. It doesn't recognize the
hard disk and have a were diagnostic error message. I'll post it later.
Here is some info:

That's all I know.. I hate to waste the $125 I spent for buying IBM OS/2 1.3
SE. It certainly will give me a sour taste if nobody can help me.. especially
to IBM. I don't want to wait for 2.0 and be disappointed. WILL someone get
on it RIGHT NOW?

Error message: SYS0049: The C: Drive is not functioning SYS0049: The D: Drive is not functioning SYS0049: The E: Drive is not functioning SYS0049: The F: Drive is not functioning HELP.. What is wrong? I think it's an NEC hard disk controller and 150 MEG ESDI hard disk. The dealer is no use, and I already upgraded the BIOS. I have spent more time and money than the average user would in getting OS/2 working. Will SOMEBODY send me the BETA 2.0 version? Maybe it might work. -- -- Robert aka Crimson Avenger (yee@rpi.edu or crimson_avenger@mts.rpi.edu) Once a hacker, always a hacker. (usere3jp@rpitsmts.bitnet)

I wonder about the partition table. Are these MS or IBM standard partitions or something else? -- David Feustel, 1930 Curdes Ave, Fort Wayne, IN 46805, (219) 482-9631 EMAIL: feustel@netcom.com or feustel@cvax.ipfw.indiana.edu

The problem is with the hard disk controller... I spoke to a tech person about OS/2 1.3 and they acknowledge that there is a problem. They swear to me that IBM OS/2 1.2 works FINE!!!! I don't know, it sounds like IBM changed something. I was also the first one to complain aobut the disk controller. I don't know, what I will do, I won't buy another ESDI hard disk controller. If I send in my waranty card, can I ask IBM for a copy of 1.2 diskettes? Just a thought. -- -- Robert aka Crimson Avenger (yee@rpi.edu or crimson_avenger@mts.rpi.edu) Once a hacker, always a hacker.
