Two major problems, Bryan.  The most obvious is that Warp 3 is not Y2K
compliant without at least fp32 and it takes up to fp38 to straighten
some of the PMMERGE problems.  Personally, I'd suggest fp40 and be done
with it.  That will also tweek the IBM1S506 to a level that should
handle the 20g drive.  Just to be on the safe side, throw a copy of
DANIS506.ADD in your kit - easier than chasing the IBM1S506.ADD revs
all over the place.

The other problem is not so simple.  As far as I can tell, there has
never been a fixpak released that brings LS 3 up to Y2K compliant and I
know that there are parts of the IP stack that will die from timestamp
problems.  LS 3 is long out of support but you might be able to find
the lastest updates at the IBM sites.  The most current listing I have
are at:

http://service5.boulder.ibm.com/pspfixpk.nsf/3f5d9c073e8a66718625662800691e9b?O

A search from there shows services for LS 4.0 but no mention of LS 3. 
I have seen some fixes for it but your going to have to dig a bit.  I
seriously doubt you will find Y2K fixes for it since that was an OS/2
2.1 era product and that has been positively identified as not
updatable to Y2K standards.  

Good luck - you may be back installing a new LS shortly.
