Peter,

That is a very appealing idea. If I put another IDE hard drive in place of
the tape drive, and I configure it as an HPFS drive, will it screw up my
OS/2 drive letters?

My current hard drive has a primary fat partition, C, for DOS and Win 3.1,
then an extended partition with four logical HPFS drives, D,E,F,and G.
"E" is the OS/2 boot partition.

Then I have another primary partition, Fat 32, for Win 98.

My second hard drive is just for LInux.

What happens if I put a third drive in?

Thanks,
Sandy
