Date: Tue, 4 Dec 2001 08:31:03 +1100 Adaptec 1505a is what I use. It's an ISA card which I use to run a CDR and an old 1G HDD. Never had a problem. Use the DOS util that is supplied with it to disable PNP, then it functions as the old 63XX chipset. -----Original Message----- From: Ed Durrant [SMTP:edurrantatbigpond dot net dot au] Sent: Monday, December 03, 2001 9:39 PM To: os2genauatos2 dot org dot au Subject: Re: [os2genau] SCSI adapter recommendations? I'd stick with an Adaptec model, simply because they have pretty good OS/2 support. There are others, which may be cheaper and some claim OS/2 support but I'd stick with Adaptec. Of course you'll need to check a particular model, but I'm pretty sure all adaptec SCSI cards are supported with the latest drivers releases except for the very cheap (single connector) bottom of the range card, that is often supplied with Scanners of CD-Rs.

If I use Netscape 4.61 I get 1.6 MB/S If I Use Mozilla 0.96 however, I get 2.2 MB/S reported Using Opera just give garbage (probably lack of JAVA Support). Would this suggest that Mozilla is about a quarter faster than netscape now ? I'd be interested what others find.

When I highlight an e-mail message and click on delete it takes about 5 seconds before the message is deleted. I'm sure it was faster on my previous Warp4 installation. Is there any way to speed this up? Also, IBM Works is much slower to load initially than on Warp4. Once opened and closed it of course starts faster the next time and about the same speed as on Warp4. Is there any reason for the slow initial loading? The strange thing is that it loads quickly if I have Netscape started even if I haven't loaded it before. My other office programs take about the same time as before to load. Thanks for the tip David about selecting blank page. I hadn't noticed that before. Regards, Alan Duval
