Hi Sheridan
I am also struggling and thinking of giving up this tricky eCS
installation process ;-(
What else can we do ?

Just create the 3 Installation Diskettes with "makedisk" from the
2nd eCS CD-ROM =

and add the following 2 statements at the begin of the config.sys:

setcopyfromfloppy=3D1
reservedriveletter=3Dx

where x is one letter just before your CD-ROM's drive letter, ie
x=3DR gives CD-ROM=3DS =

and start installing from floppies.

You will wonder: It is exect an IBM OS/2 Warp Installation ;-)
Kernel is 14.062_W4 and the IDEDASD is 14.059 =

and I assume it is WARP Version 4.51 =

and after this installation do NOT continue with CDROM 1 of eCS !

Just use it as a more accurate OS/2 ;-)

At the moment I have NO better idea with eCS ...
=2E.. myself I am running Original WARP with SWC ;-))

OK, I give up.

I decided it was time to install one of the two eComStation
systems that I bought. So I tried it on
my wife's system (that I would still be on the air if it didn't
work ) and it doesn't work.

The install (from original boot from CD - no upgrade) goes along
with out a hitch. When all is
installed the reboot is commenced. At the POST I invoke the BIOS
and change the boot up drives from
CDROM, A, C to A, C, CDROM. eCS gets to the opening screen
(eComStation internal revision 14.062_W4)
and goes no further. After the last install try I left it on all
night and nothing changed. Did a
c-a-d and turned the computer off. Later turned it on and the
same thing at the same screen.

I tried GRADD, Std. VGA, and Sci. Tech. video drivers with a long
format each time I installed. =

Installation is to a single 540 MB drive. (Programs and data are
on two other drives.)

What else do I need to tell you. I had Warp 4 FP 12 on this
Cyrix P150 64 meg ram machine for quite
some time.
