Makes sense. You've already done the work needed to find the right set of
drivers and put them on the Warp4 diskettes.

Pretty much irrelevant. eCS is closer to MCP2 than Warp4.

>The installation interface for eCs looks only vaguely like W4 or Wseb.

The interface is the interface. What matters is what's going on under the
covers. The low level changes which are invisible to most users allow eCS
to be installed via CD on a much wider variety of hardware with much
better auto recognition of devices. You just happen to have a MB that was
not tested and that happens to not be compatible by default.

Regards,

Steven
