Cool - OS/2 Warp Connect actually installs and runs (blue-spine box,
cdrom version)... however, the OS/2 CL-GD5446 video drivers don't seem
to recognise the chipset and will not install :|
The generic PCI RTL8029 network driver doesn't seem to work either - and
prevents OS/2 from starting up.
OS/2 is running at a good speed - feels pretty fast.. WinOS/2 works too
- Booting a real DOS under OS/2's VM window seems to max-out QEMU and it
becomes unresponsive... It only gets as far as showing "Starting PC
DOS..." before it locks up. (booting IBM PC-DOS 7 under OS/2 Warp
Connect, no fixpacks). Only a 'kill -9' successfully killed the process.

Are you sure there is a 5446 driver in OS/2 ? I only saw 5436.

You should activate NE2000 traces and record the standard output.

Maybe it is using the VME extension (QEMU does not implement it, but
maybe OS/2 ignores the CPUID settings).
Fabrice.

Downloaded it from
http://www.embeddedsoftwaregroup.com/cirruslogic/graphics/desktop/5446/
Unzipped it to a floppy disk image.

Ok... I shall give it a go sometime soon... I downloaded that driver
from hobbes.nmsu.edu

Maybe... OS/2's VDM was pretty advanced for it's era... IBM even demoed
OS/2 running Windows95 in a window back in 1996.... months before it was
axed. (the hacks IBMers did to the Windows95 binaries to make it work
never were released)

Ok - the OS/2 drivers appear to look at the VGA BIOS to check what chip
is there... I have tried by using a copy of a real 5446 BIOS (copied
from a 5446 card I have here) and Cirrus's IDCHIP utility reports that
the VGA BIOS reports it as a 5430. I have also noticed that the 5446 and
5440 cards I have here have identical VGA BIOS
The SB16 emulation appears to work fine for the system sounds on XP-Pro
but it's choppy when playing mp3 etc. OS/2's SB16 driver crashes
however.

What did you do when it crashed? For me system sounds on OS/2 (Merlin)
quite ok, and it never crashed, granted i only played some wavs from
media directory.

I haven't successfully installed Warp4 or Warp 4.5 yet... Only have Warp
Connect installed... I am thinking of digging out the old OS/2 2.0 or
2.1 floppies for nostalgia :D
