RE: Restoring a PC Server 500 P/390

I Frankensteined a P/390 together out of a P/325 server and the PCI P/390 card back in the day. I assume you do have the LIC for the P/390 card, without which you’re dead in the water. At least the PCI model wasn’t picky about the disks it used. And I’m pretty sure it’ll work with whatever

I seem to recall having to install some vram chips on my P/390 to get 1024x768 resolution, but I think that was on my PC Server 330... I’m glad you got it working! That is awesome! Did you get networking functional? Have fun! -Ben Sent from my iPhone > On May 14, 2018, at 4:16 PM, Dave

Folks, Just to say I did end up doing a re-install of OS/2 on a smaller drive, which took most of today, but the P390 software is now installed and I have loaded VM/CMS and IPL'd a simple 3-pack system copied from Hercules. The readme that comes with the P/390 V2.5 software explains how to

Folks, Can I say thanks to the folks that helped me "off list". I have found that if I use the latest version of the P390 support software it doesn't need Communications Manager. Dave From: Dave Wade Sent: 12 May 2018 12:33 To: General Discussion: On-Topic and
