   Howdy Roger,   
      
   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   
   RN> and it wouldn't install for him, either.  I think it's a hardware   
   RN> problem .......   
      
   Maybe it is but I did install my original Warp 4 plus FixPak 12 last   
   year on another machine and it worked right away. Admittedly it wasn't   
   an up-to-date machine but I don't recall what processor it ran.   
      
    HG> Also, if you want to use the built-in OS/2 Boot Manager you will   
      
   RN> I know all of the above, Holger.  I used OS/2 since the December   
   RN> 1992 beta was released to the public.  I then bought Warp 3 after I   
   RN> attended an IBM seminar and also LotusSuite for OS/2 at the same   
   RN> time.   
      
   You've walked the same path except that I continued upgrading but Warp 4   
   and FP12 has so far been the end station.   
      
   RN> I still think I need older hardware.  I even tried eCS, but   
   RN> found it lacking in some areas and too pricey for me, so Warp 4 sits   
   RN> on the self along with Warp 3.  My OS/2 2.1 and 2.11 diskettes are   
   RN> long gone after the storm of 2005.   
      
   Since the version I'm running what I want from it I have not considered   
   eCS because I too find it too pricey but it's the easiest way to install   
   OS/2 on newer hardware.   
      
   Cheers,   
      
   Holger
