Hello Daniela,

I'm taking the liberty to bumb in.

I am wondering about this passage in the readme:


++++ Knip.....Begin van het bestand DaniS506.DOC .....++++

                      Daniela's S506 ADD - Release 1.0.9
                      ----------------------------------

     -------------------------------------------------------------------------

     If you have a removable drive which you want to boot from, this
reportedly
     fails. To enable booting from this unit it has to be treated as a fixed
     one. This can be done with the option /!RMV applied to the proper unit.
     It is reported also that some Syquest drives have buggy firmware which
     doesn't report properly the support of the removable feature set. To
     announce these drives to OS/2 a removable drives add the /RMV option to
     the appropriate unit.

Afaik, since FP6 the Zips are hardcoded in the OS2DASD.DMD as removable
harddisks. So, why are you saying this?


Sam Detweiler told me it's only possible to boot from a removable if that
removable is the only hard disk in the system.

Do you suggest otherwise, or I'm I reading it wrong?

Anyway, did have a try:

- without the /!RMV swith, OS/2 quits after reading the last basedev
(os2scsi.dmd)

- with the /!RMV switch OS/2 goes a little bit further, initiates the Dani*
and the AIC7870.ADD. But then quits in the same way: "the system can't read
the HD or floppy drive".


Would be glad to have your comments on this.

On the other hand, I never had any problem with your driver. But most
certainly that's because I always mess up with OS/2, as the experts keep
telling me. :-)))))

Groeten uit Gent,
    Regards/2
