I am not sure why you are having problems. I have installed Warp for
Windows, Warp, and Warp Connect using AHA-2940s and have never had a
problem. All were done from CD-ROM (but of course). My Disk One from all
three versions is recorded with the standard 18 sector format so you
should have no trouble copying. Even if it were the extended format, you
could copy them with the utility on the other OS/2 system that you have
working. But all three disks have a AIC7870 driver; it may not be the
latest, but it certainly worked for me.
