Interesting. We have has success with the Daimon Stealth boards. Hvae not (yet) had to call tech support though. >: Also loose the IDE controller and get a real SCSI controller. >: Adaptec makes a real good SCSI controller. > >They do.

We just got a new system with one and I am having a dickens of a time installing Warp onto the system. It manages to install, but when I reboot after the installation is complete, it cannot access the harddrive. But even this is wierd, becayse it can read enough of the hard drive to display the OS/2 logo. Mike Laris mglaris@pic.net
