Umm...Warp supports the 1DE (at least it lists it if you get to
the selective install part).  Is what you have the Atapi drive
that they ship nowadays?  You can get drivers for it on
ftp-os2.nmsu.edu (not sure of the directory offhand), although
I've had trouble with the machine trapping when I tried to
install the atapi drivers under warp (they worked with 2.1,
and they're supposed to work with Warp).

Question: I just ordered a Zeos Pantera 100 and I don't want to have
to suffer with this same problem when I install Warp.  Could you
tell me what exactly you mean by  "jumpered as a masterless
slave" and what you did to remedy the situation, if Zeos themselves
haven't already?
