Is there anyway to get these new niffty sounds out of the normal PC
speaker? I don't have a SB board and unless the SB for MCA is a 16bit
half-size card I never will.  I only have a 16bit slot open.

So far I have had the same type of problems and joys you have.  It didn't
upgrade my 7.05 microsoft mouse to the 8.20 that is on the install disks
so I had to do it myself.  I copied the new .com .sys .drv files to the
windows and system directories.  I didn't change the mouse settings in the
system ini file so maybe I missed something.  I'm not sure why they
have a 8.20 driver on the disk and don't install it.

The TT fonts appear to work well, but I haven't really given them a
work out yet.

One problem I have had with the print manager is that it doesn't seem
to update the status of the print job, eg. 6% of 256K, unless I force it
to redraw the screen.  The old PM would update every few seconds and was
a good way to see what was happening.  I did change the setting about
fast printing directly to the hardware port.  I need to have the printer
use the normal calls so that when I have my external ethernet adapter on
the machine windows leaves the hardware alone.  The driver only handles
normal calls through its printer connection.  I don't use the printer and
adapter together, but if PM is watching the print port directly it screws
up the adapter even if you aren't printing.  At least it worked that way
in win 3.0.

I am using BlueMAX so I stuck with their qcache program instead of using
the new smartdrv.  Maybe I should try smartdrv for a while and see what
happens.  But if I can not safely load it high I will be back to qcache.

Does anyone know if the new smartdrv handles disk manager partitioned
drives correctly.  I mean the ones the old smartdrv couldn't because
of the number of cylinders (over 1024) or the bios not matching the
disk params.  I have a friend with a system that will not work without
disk manager to fool the silly bios.  It only seems to know about MFM
drives.
