I have sent this to you directly and to os2genau to see that the issue is not local to us here in Australia.

They (or their level 1 ISP) must be having some problems. Cheers/2 Ed.

Good new on the home front :-) - finally yesterday afternoon I burned the 1.2MR ISOs, after having had them for about 8-9 months, and I installed it to my Chaintech-motherboard machine, with no NIC fitted - did a custom installation - I'm currently writing-up my appreciation to Bob/Joachim/Roderick & Co, which I'll post on several of the OS/2-eCS lists with my profound appreciation of the HP dx5150 - I ran the demo on it - which didn't impress me much after I clicked on the button during the excellent Flash "movie", that said something like "See some screenshots" and they were so ghastly I really couldn't believe my eyes - like looking at poor quality low-resolution JPEGs under water! That would be the ultimate "turn off" for anyone used to the Eye-Candy of WXP/OS-X!! :-[ To avoid frigging around forever - with burnt-out NICs etc., I decided to see whether I could install the eCS V2B2 onto the HP [only one actually switched on and WXPP-contracted to 20GB out of 80, and WXPP quite satisfied with that! :-D ], but LVM/Installer didn't like the "Corrupt Partition Tables", even after I used DFSee to write a generic MBR to the SATA drive [Samsung SATA II - but jumpered initially to 1.5Gbps - nice sturdy slim cables - there are two SATA ports, count as Controller 2/3, in addition to the PATA interface which powers the DVD-ROM + CD-RW combo., and to which I hooked up my old Seagate Medalist 4.3GB UDMA2 drive!, so that I could have spare storage for DFSee to dump the smart-imaged 2 * .IMZ files - one of the entire disk with MBR etc., as delivered, and another of just the 20GB WXPP C: partition, booted from DFSee 8.02 (on trial until I upgrade from final version 7.15). Everything worked - the Broadcom Gbit NIC, the Realtek sound, everything!, everything! - "just like a bought one" - this delighted me no end, and now having the 1.2MR, I can barely wait to install that there too, hopefully on the SATA disk! From what I have experienced so far HP dx5150 [there are hundreds of different sub-models, with an amazing number of choices that one can select from, even a slimline non-tower case] is the ideal platform for OS/2-eCS 100% compatibility - I didn't change _anything_whatsoever_ in the BIOS settings - left the APIC completely enabled - all 8 USB2 ports worked, AFAIR, 6 on rear, 2 on front - there is MIC + HEADPHONE jacks on front + usual 3 sockets on rear for audio.. HP appear to have setup the Award-Phoenix BIOS to be pretty standard in the use of IRQs, much is done with high-memory ports. Must send this off to you now so I can finish the main message and send that - having started at 10PM Sunday and having a rotten dose of 'flu or some other virus that makes it almost impossible to talk - have gotten over the shivers and aches, but nose is running like a tap! -- Regards, Mike Failed the exam for -------------------- MCSE - Minesweeper Consultant and Solitaire Expert -------------------- [Please ZIP any attachments, other than GIF/JPG or plain-text] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
