You should have bought a SCSI drive ;-)

You need an updated ibm1s506.add, the one from the most recent fixpack should 
do. There is another archive floating around contining a beta version of this 
driver which also did the job.

Actually it's not the networking stuff itself which is quite simple once you 
have grasped it, it's IBM's language (And I thougth it's only the 
"IBM-Deutsch" that is so difficult but it's the same in English.)

You can connect to WinNT, Win95 and WfW, Linux using SAMBA and SMBFS and even 
to the Microsoft DOS client for WinNT. I am not sure about Lantastic although 
they claimed their OS/2 version was able to connect to a Warp Connect 
machine, but I have never tried it.
