      In a message dated 06-30-15, Ed Vance said to Holger Granholm:              Hi Ed,               RN> I have Warp 4 here (I forget the release number) and it won't        RN> install. I even sent the machine to a trusted friend who uses OS/2               HG> Usually the installation disks have to be modified for        HG> installation on modern computers. There are drivers available        HG> to make the installation possible.              EV> Yep, getting OS/2 drivers for the hardware HP has in this box would       EV> be Most Important!              To swim in safe waters, I'd recommend eCS (eComStation) because then you       have all the necessary drivers for modern computers included as well as       for older ones.              EV> You probably are using SATA HDD's like the HDD HP put in this box.              No, I have told everybody that wants to listen that I'm using SCSI!               HG> The HighPerformanceFileSystem was developed by Microsoft and        HG> IBM together but when their partnership ended M$ took the              EV> HPFS, I've heard the term but that will be another learning       EV> adventure for me.              No new tricks there. It's the same as the M$ *IFS.               HG> it will disengage the Boot Manager but you will get it back by        HG> just starting the OS/2 FDisk program again. It's still on the        HG> HD.              EV> Thanks for the Tip, I'd need more Tips from the folks in a OS/2 echo       EV> if I set my mind to putting OS/2 in place of XP on this pc.              Sure.              73 de Sam, OH0NC              aka Holger              ___        * MR/2 2.30 * On a clear disk you can seek forever.                     --- PCBoard (R) v15.22 (OS/2) 2        * Origin: Coming to you from the Sunny Aland Islands.
