It is supported. Your card did not exist when Warp4 was released. The
same is true for the other cards you mention. Keep in mind you are
installing from a CD that was released in 1995. That said, get Chuck
Mckinnnes's NICPak:

http://pws.prserv.net/mckinnis/nicpak/index.html

It will point you to the correct NIC driver. IIRC the driver is
e100b.os2, but use NICPak to verify this.

Yes, do a Google search for sbliveos2 and you will find a link to the
current version of the driver which IIRC is v.81. If you have any trouble
installing it, theres a sbliveos2 Yahoo group that provides dedicated
support.

>Additionally, my Voodoo 3500 video card wasn't listed as a supported item

It should be supported by the Scitech drivers. You can purchase the Pro
version from SciTech or download the free version from the DDPak site.

>during installation. It seems my system isn't too os/2 friendly. It is

Your system appears to be very OS/2 friendly. The CD is old. Find a
circa 1995 Linux or BEOS distribution (if you can ) and then compare.
If you had purchased MCP or eCS, several of the drivers you need would
have been available out of the box and the number of required FP's would
be substantially less.

This is normal.

These will go away when you install the correct NIC driver. Run MPTS,
highlight the NIC in the lower left window and use the change option.

Get the latest OMNI driver from the DDPak Online.

See above. At about $12, I always recommend the WarpUP CD to folks
running Warp4. It will cut at least a day out of the time it takes you to
install the fixpak you need. It will include, some but not all of the
drivers you need.
