I have a T21 laptop with Ultrabay 2000 and have a
floppy and DVD drive that fits into it. They obviously
 cnnot be swapped during installation.  The warp 4
instructions for the laptop say I need to use a serial
floppy to install it. I imagine if one has the proper
usb drivers to run a usb floppy it should work, but
for warp 4 one needs to purchase either the  software
choice,  the warp upgrade or ECS.  I had neither
floppy, so I chose purchasing ECS which installed
nicely from the self booting CDrom. So I would
conclude the cheapest route is to find a serial floppy
to borrow or find cheap, or the best route is upgrade
to ECS 1.1. One other thought is to try to make a
bootable warp 4 install disk, but I haven't heard of
many having luck doing this, I sure did not.
