   Hi Sean,

   SD> drivers for modern equipment are out there, you just have to know   
   SD> where to look.  eCS is terrible when trying to run a BBS under it   
   SD> from my experimentation.   
      
   Thank you for your advice. That prompted me to read again the texts in   
   the two XR_0021 and ...022 (Device driver fixpaks). According to an   
   earlier study I had a recollection that the DD-FP did require something   
   that I didn't have on the present computer. Whether it was LVM, JFS or   
   something else I don't recall and couldn't find now when reading AGN.   
      
   Next, I grabbed the diskette where I have stored the text and e-mail   
   messages I have exchanged with Mike b4 and after I received a set of   
   CD's containing upgrades for Warp 4 up to FP17. These txt files give   
   me full instructions for the upgrade. On the CD's there is everything   
   that I will need for the upgrade.   
      
   Since I do now have a more modern computer with W4 + FP12 intended to   
   replace this oldie I will now upgrade that to FP17 before setting it up   
   for the BBS. It's not an up-to-date machine but will do for the BBS.   
   It has now an USB v1 controller that I will replace with one that I   
   received from Australia. I suppose it's a v2 controller and it has three   
   USB ports while the old one has only one but I've got the time, hi.   
      
   SD> I'd recommend using JFS for any drive larger than 64GB...which is   
   SD> HPFS' limit.   
      
   No thanks, I still want to have some DOS programs available and for that   
   purpose also will limit partition size to 2Gb (at least some).   
      
   Actually I do already have a separate DOS (C:) at the beginning of the   
   first HD. The second HD is actually a mirror of the main one.
