I thought of just replying to you via netmail but I though we coulod all learn....

Ephen piss me off!!!

Okay... I'll tell you my background quickly.  I had a version of FD/2 and I
had an old PC kicking around... I got OS2 warp4 off of ebay.... I installed
it and it worked for about a month... then my FD stoped running it gave me
an error that my reg-code wasn't good... Odd eh!!  In installed OS2 over
and over and over again... and still no go.
I tried all kinds of things... I just plugged the HDD that had OS2 loaded
on and it worked in PC 2 but not PC 1...

Is there something that FD is reading on PC 1 that it isn't on PC 2... or
whatever.  Does it read something off the Hardware or bios??  Y  would it
work in one computer and not the other??  OS2 loads fine in both... FD
doesn't work in one...
Ideas?
Joe
