:>I have a VL-IDE controller card that can use a device driver called

I have a VLB contoller that can with its own driver as well.  The 
QDI1S506.ADD driver is in \OS2 and in \OS2\BOOT  However, I Rem'ed it out 
when I installed the ATAPI.ZIP files and an ATAPI CD ROM.  In your case, it 
may be that the card manufacturer didn't bother to write a driver for Warp.  
I haven't seen an updated QDI driver either.
