   Hi Joe,   
      
    HG> The OS/2 installation is very straightforward and easy especially the   
    HG> Warp 4 one because of the detailed information carried in the documen-   
    HG> tation in the "Up and running with OS/2 version 4" book .........   
      
      
   JD> The trouble with the OS/2 Warp installation was that it would not   
   JD> install.  I tried numerous times.  Same error each time.  It simply   
   JD> did not see my CD drive.  Tried different drive, same problem   
      
   I'm surprised to learn this because I have never exprienced difficulties   
   at installation. In 1995 I added a Hitachi CD-drive without problems and   
   later (-98) changed it to a Nakamichi 5-disk changer w/o problems again.   
      
   In the meantime I had also used a HP CD drive w/o problems.   
      
   I did use the Adaptec aspicd driver in both the two earlier instances,   
   then the Nakamichi was delivered with mjaspi drivers.   
      
   You had to be careful at the first installation that you didn't have   
   a HD over 2 Mb size. That was solved by installing OS/2 on a <2Mb   
   partition and after that formatting the rest of the HD.   
      
   Then came the Danis's drivers that solved the HD problem and later also   
   new drivers from IBM.   
      
   I have never tried to install OS/2 on anything else but SCSI systems.
