Okay, so I'm starting to experiment with ECS and I'm using a test
machine to try it out before I think about putting it into production.
The test machine has all been supported by OS/2 in the past, although
the CDROM is SCSI. So, I try the ECS installation but it doesn't work
because the SCSI support I need is not in the list in their preboot
screen. Fine, I move to floppy install, i.e. the modifiable version
since I need to add the support for my SCSI. I am embarassed that I
don't think I know what I'm doing. Part of it is that the CONFIG.SYS
looks only strangely familiar. I add the FD8XX.ADD file to the second
floppy copied from another Warp4 system and add a BASEDEV=FD8XX.ADD
statement in the CONFIG.SYS right after the BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD
statement just like another system I have with a SCSI card. Clearly,
the machine still is not seeing the CDROM drive. It loads a couple of
IFS'es but then ends in a spew of error messages, all with the S: drive
showing error. What else do I need? Thanks.
