Hello:

Well, after my last posting about experiencing a severe system crash
using Ray Gwinn's SIO driver (version 0.31, I believe) somebody told
me that 0.34 is out and suggested I give it a try.

The result?

The system detected an internal processing
error at location ##0160:fffa3bb4 - 000d:00049bb4.
60000, 7016

038600d1
Internal revision 6.307, 92/03/01

The system is stopped.  Record the location number
of the error and contact your service representative.

So, in essense, nothing has changed from the last time.  Grrr -- this
is *really* beginning to piss me off.  Of course, this did a number on
my D: drive that I had to repair with CHKDSK (which means a 10 minute
boot-up from the ^#$@! floppies!).

This time I'm going to include *all* pertinent information and hopefully
*somebody* out there can tell me what an idiot I've been and what to
change to get this to work.

First of all:  I am running OS/2 2.0 GA, Syslevel XR02000 (by the way, 
*why* does it take over 10 minutes for the "Syslevel" command to give out 
that info!?)

Next...in my CONFIG.SYS file, the lines that pertain to serial I/O are
as follows:

DEVICE=C:\OS2\PCLOGIC.SYS SERIAL=COM1
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MOUSE.SYS TYPE=PCLOGIC$
rem DEVICE=C:\OS2\COM.SYS
rem DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VCOM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\SIO.SYS (1,3F8,4) (COM2:19200,2F8,IRQ3,,F)
DEVICE=C:\VSIO.SYS
RUN=C:\OS2\MODE.COM COM2:19200,N,8,1,,TO=OFF,XON=OFF,IDSR=ON, [...]
   ODSR=ON,OCTS=ON,DTR,RTS=HS,BUFFER=ON

I am running Waffle version 1.65 under DOS, I have COM_HOLD turned *on*.
My Waffle startup program firsts starts up the X00v149a Fossil driver
(also by Ray Gwinn) with the statement:

C:\FOSSIL\X00 E,DV,FIFO=15,B,PORT1,19200,R=1024,T=512

I hope that somebody out there knows why this is happening and can
provide a solution!  Thanks in advance.

P.S. All this would be completely unnecessary if Tom Dell (the author
of Waffle) would do a simple port of his UUCICO program over to OS/2!
We're not asking for the entire program, JUST THE UUCICO PORTION!!!!!!
He apparently "has his hands full with the DOS and Unix versions" and,
IMHO, probably doesn't believe OS/2 is being used by more than a dozen
people.  Should you wish to express your anger at him :-), or simply
give him a subtle suggestion, he can be reached at: dell@vox.darkside.com
