Its been a decade since I played with W3. Will Daniela's driver work 
with Warp3?  I see no mention of a minimum required level ofOS/2 for 
it in danis506.doc file.  If the original poster wants to try it, the 
latest danis506.add can be found on hobbes - 
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/system/drivers/storage/danis506r177.zip


As to idedasd, Oliver Rick's site 
http://www.warpupdates.mynetcologne.de shows the last free version as 
http://service.software.ibm.com/os2dd/free/idedasd.exe
