Hi Ben,

There are three Warp installation diskettes. Make a copy of the second
diskette. On the copied second diskette, you need to add the drivers
for your new hardware, _plus_ add SET COPYFROMFLOPPY=1 to the diskette
CONFIG.SYS file. (Haven't done this in a while; if it doesn't work
holler back.)

Make sure you get the most recent Symbios driver for your chip. (What's
the chip's i.d.?)

It's the same procedure as the one for adding the updated IDE drivers.
(Is your hard drive IDE and bigger than 4 GB? If so, you need the new
IDE drivers. Download the self-extracting
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/ps/products/os2/os2ddpak/idedasd.exe and run
it, then read the readme.)
