I seem to recall having to install some vram chips on my P/390 to get 1024x768 resolution, but I think that was on my PC Server 330...

I’m glad you got it working!  That is awesome!  Did you get networking functional?

Have fun!

The readme that comes with the P/390 V2.5 software explains how to set up the systems so PCOMMS can talk to it. I still don't have the screen resolution working at 1024 x 768 which the manual says it should. Oh and PMVNC also runs so I can remote control the beast. It was all a bit of a slog, mostly because OS/2 is a bit of a slog. The P/390 was the easy part.
