Hi Sid,

 Here's the latest on this USB drive.

 Decided to try a different (smaller) drive in the unit, so out came the Seagate
Barracuda 40GB and in went an old Samsung 2.5GB. Same tests, same problems !!

Although I think I am using newer or the same drivers under OS/2 Warp 4 CP2 FP4 and
eCS 1.2, I decided to try the unit out by rebooting to my eCS 1.2 partition - guess
what ... it works there ! I then switched back to the 40GB drive and it ALSO works
there !

I've compared the config.sys files and am using the same combination of dani and ibm
usb drivers, so it HAS to be versions of the drivers .... It could be that OLDER
drivers work, where newer ones don't !

Cheers/2

Ed.
