As you can see from my notes, I had to spend some time on this. Initially
to prove to *myself* that the MO drive worked under OS/2, I used the
MODISK.SYS driver (only FAT Partitions) included on the Fujitsu MO 640SE
drive's CD-ROM. If you need this let me know and I will dig that CD out
of the closet.

Once you know that the SCSI MO drive with FAT partitions works under your
Warp 4 FP16 setup, then go for the HPFS partitions. That's what I did.
Also you may wish to check the original postings on Usenet around March
2000 which pertain to this subject.

Can't offer more than the above since I gave away (for work rendered) the
ThinkPad 560 and currently no SCSI cards at the moment.

Good luck.
