G'Day Warpers,

I have a VL-IDE controller card that can use a device driver called 
VLIDE.ADD to allow 32-bit access to the drive. When I include the line
BASEDEV=VLIDE.ADD in CONFIG.SYS (after remming BASEDEV=IBM1SOD.ADD, as 
per the readme file's instructions), warp reports it cannot find 
VLIDE.ADD ... this particular file. I realise that BASEDEV's cannot have 
paths, so I have tried placing this device in all the directories (\, 
\OS2, \OS2\BOOT, \OS2\DRIVERS, \OS2\SYSTEM), but it still reports this 
message.

Any ideas? Furthermore, does anyone have a newer version of the driver 
.. i.e. one where the docs mention OS/2 version 3!

cheers, Alex.
