I would like to run OS/2 1.2 on a monochrome adapter. Although the documen- tation says I can do this, the system hangs when I boot. I imagine it is trying to display graphics for me. Does anyone know how to disable the PM interface and still be able to do task switching (via Ctrl-ESC, etc.)? I've tried placing CMD.EXE in the CONFIG.SYS for the PROTSHELL, but that doesn't seem to give me more than one session.

A long time ago (in a galaxy far far away) there used to be OS/2 1.0, which used a task manager written using the EZVU-II for OS/2 (EZVU-II is the DOS counterpart to ISPF on VM/MVS). If you can still find it, you can use it for the PROTSHELL, and eliminate PM altogether. Cheers, Q
