 Nope, sure don't.

 I got home an hour or so ago, loaded the IBMIS506.ADD and IBMIDECD.FLT to
 the Install Disk 1 and viola.... the Type B partition was removed, Boot
 Manager installed and I was able to create the necessary partitions and
 install OS/2!

 At least I'm further than I was a few weeks ago. 

 Gotta get to bed. Will mess with it tomorrow.

 Thanks..


 Have a GREAT one!
