RE: Twinax Card and Win95

Pete,

FYI, Verna got my Aptiva working, but instead of it crashing within 
seconds, it took nearly 5 minutes. Hence, we closed the problem, but I have 
since re opened it. Since you and I have Aptiva's and IBM emulation cards, 
and since they don't work together, IBM has decide that the proper way to 
handle it is by saying, and I quote "IBM does not support the IBM Aptiva 
twinax connection to the AS/400".

Which to me means, Aptiva isn't interested in fixing their problem. It, I 
don't believe, isn't an IBM Rochester issue. Although, I'm not 100 percent 
sure of that. But Client Access is till not working with my 95 percent IBM 
solution. (The remaining 5 percent is Win 95 which was pre-installed on the 
Aptiva by IBM, and is supported by IBM.)

So, the solution they've suggested it to return my 200 MHz Aptiva and "but 
a compatible system". Which to me means I've got to buy a DELL or Compaq. 
Oh well... That's what I get for trying to buy IBM. I never had these 
problems when I avoided IBM PCs. Don't get me wrong, I am very 
disappointed. The Aptiva S90 and the newer S9C are great looking and great 
performing machines. They just don't want to work in a network or AS/400 
environment.  :(
