Waaay back I read that having a secondary device without a primary is a

ingredients into the ever-growing pot of cybersoup:

> One of the members of my computer Clubs' os/2 SIG had a similar
> problem.  He also was able to install eCS 1.1 but NOT eCS 1.2.
> He was also able to install Win98 with no problems.
> 
> On his machine the CD drive was connected as a slave on the
> secondary IDE channel with NO master attached.
> 
> I manually updated his 1.2 eCS cd with the latest drivers.
> The UpdCD program as yet does not cover the eCS 1.2.
> 
> Unfortunately I did not have access to his computer for a long
> enough time to determine if the eventual successful install was due
> to either my remake of the eCS 1.2 CD, the reconnection of the
> CD drive as a single MASTER on the secondary channel, or both.
> 
> Perhaps this info will give you some ideas as to what to do further.
