OK, but it's not terribly useful since the goal is to get the SCSI and the
IDE working together.

Yep. It's easy to recognize the problem because I have it myself at
times.

OK. Then that's what we will work towards.

Fix the driver issue and the others will solve themselves.

Consider this fixed. I had hoped that the person originating this thread
would break up the replys by topic. I guess not. :-)

Without a working set of boot diskettes that see both drives properly, you
will never make much progress. You need to focus on this.

Build a set of install diskettes with danis506.add and the aicu160.add.
We'll will fix the boot and install failures one step at a time. There's
nothing you've mentioned that can not be handled with a piece of paper
that documents the special handling that you might need to do.

Let me know where the boot/install process fails.

>(I thought everybody uses the dani drivers these days)?

When they work, Dani's drivers are a better choice. There are still
systems out there that will only work with IBM1S506.

>drive?

Nope. Warp4 can boot just fine from a logical.

>I'm not sure how it becomes a D: drive except by having another

A partition becomes D: because it's the 2nd partition that OS2DASD.DMD
assigns a drive letter to. This is going to be the 2nd visible primary or
if there's only one visible primary, it's going to be the first visible
logical.

>it's a primary partition and it's in bootmanager, that any other primary
>partitions that are put in bootmanager become invisible upon booting

Warp allows at most one primary per drive to be visible.
