subject: To boot from an IDE Zip-100

Hello All,

A few weeks ago, I was inquiring about the problem to boot from an IDE
Zip-100,
if there is an option in the bios to do so.

I finally wrote to the supreme guru himself, and here is what Sam was
answering:

 OS/2 can boot from the ZIP IF it is the ONLY drive..
 otherwise the drive letters change part way thru the boot sequence
 and mess everything up...

A damn pity.
