Derek, I'm using QXL and it's actual executable on OS/2 Warp 3.0. And, yes, that works (I had to tweak OS/2 a bit in order to allow access to the QXL's I/O ports (0x2b0, if I remember right). I Also have eComStation (the "official" successor of Warp 3.0) here, but haven't tried it yet (but most probably try that soon, I have been able to source a cute Mini-PC with a blazingly fast Pentium II ( ;) ) and one ISA slot and intend to move my QXL there. But that guy needs a bit of black laquer first to keep style ;) )
Windows 3.1 and Windows 98 BTW apparently seem to tweak the timer interrupt when working with the QXL (or introduce some latency? I don't care) which renders the QXL network ports unusable - At least on my PC, QXL refuses to connect to the QL network when using Windows 98 - Works fine on DOS and Warp though. What's also nice when using a more modern OS is that you can just "on the fly" connect to the internet and draw some essential SW from Dilwyn's site ;) Tobias -----Original-Nachricht----- Betreff: Re: [Ql-Users] QPC2 and Win 8 Datum: Mon, 20 Jul 2015 17:00:58 +0200 Von: Derek <[email protected]> An: <[email protected]> Hi Tobias, I have a QXL connected to my Linux Server through mapping a DOS drive with TCP/IP link. No need for windows. But OS/2 Warp could been a better OS than Windows. Do have the QXL executable working on OS/2? -----Original Message----- From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: 20/07/2015 14:37 To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Ql-Users] QPC2 and Win 8 Derek, Windows makes a lot of sense if you have the QXL PC connected to a network (I personally use OS/2 Warp on my QXL PC, much for the same reason.) your "ASSIGN" tip works fine if you want more than one QXL drive.

But this requires a DOS command, maybe not work in Windows.
