Hi Joe,

 HG> The OS/2 installation is very straightforward and easy especially the

JD> did not see my CD drive.  Tried different drive, same problem

I'm surprised to learn this because I have never exprienced difficulties
at installation. In 1995 I added a Hitachi CD-drive without problems and
later (-98) changed it to a Nakamichi 5-disk changer w/o problems again.

In the meantime I had also used a HP CD drive w/o problems.

I did use the Adaptec aspicd driver in both the two earlier instances,
then the Nakamichi was delivered with mjaspi drivers.

You had to be careful at the first installation that you didn't have
a HD over 2 Mb size. That was solved by installing OS/2 on a <2Mb
partition and after that formatting the rest of the HD.

Then came the Danis's drivers that solved the HD problem and later also
new drivers from IBM.

I have never tried to install OS/2 on anything else but SCSI systems.
