    Hi Andrew!
    I read through your message that you sent to help me with my Ele/OS2 fossil issue. I have a question about your instructioon to enable port sharing
    between OS/2 and DOS. You instructed me to add Os2Shares to the SIO2K.SYS command line in CONFIG.SYS. I can not find Os2Shares mentioned in the docs
    for SIO2K. Do I simple add it like this:
    device=C:\sio2k\sio2k.sys Os2Shares

    Sorry if this is a dumb question but my config.sys is like a minefield.
    Usually i don't touch it as any small mistake results in a system that will
    not boot. OS/2 is a pain to boot into safe mode to fix errors!
    Thanks again for your help!

    you can boot a command line from the install cd and you can fix config.sys from there :)

    Yes, that's how you do it.

    The best way I have found is to send a key sequence when OS/2 is booting up
    but the timing is tricky and it doesn't work every time. Once I get it to
    boot I open config.sys with "E" and fix the offending line.
    Thank you for your input.

    you can boot a command line from the install cd and you can

    Or press Alt-F1 when booting OS/2...
