This should go to the OS2 echo since it has nothing to do with REXX.

I spec built this machine with similar hardware.  Its been a couple of
years so I'm not sure how much I remember about the installation.  I do
recall I needed ACP2 for SMP, since MCP2 is just for the single CPU.

Do you have an Adaptec controller?  If you have a very old version of WSeB
then maybe you need a new driver and update the *.SNP file too.  I don't
think ACP2 had that problem, but I could be wrong.

Again I'm thinking this is something from a lot further back than just 2
or 3 years.  I recall when it was still in Beta testing as Aurora there
was the default to the UNI and some files and maybe settings that had to
be changed to use SMP.  I no longer remember what files.  And I don't
remember any problem with ACP2 using SMP.

What version of WSeB are you trying to install?

Since there are probably very few SMP users and I tend to forget in my old
age, you may want to contact me via E-Mail nospamos2@starband.net remove
"nospam".

     Thanks and Good Luck,        Andy Roberts
