Installing AWE64 Support in WinOS/2


These instructions were provided by "helent" and haven't been tested here as I do not have WinOS/2 support installed.

  • Start WinOS/2
  • Open WinOS/2 Main Group
  • Open Control Panel
  • Open Drivers
  • Click Add
  • Click "Unlisted or Updated Driver"
  • Click OK
  • Browse, locate the X:\os2\drivers directory and select the sbawed2 directory (should have been installed when you installed OS/2 Warp)
  • Click OK (should install four drivers - select what you need)

Next, download the WinOS/2 driver pack following the instructions contained within EXACTLY. This is VERY important!

Next, check your system.ini file settings for the card. They should look similar to this: (note I have not included the entire file, just the lines that are specific to the AWE64 setup and their section headers to help you locate the lines)
