Now that I have OS/2 loaded and "running", the questions are mounting.....

 I know Andy's gonna be "pi**ed" at me for what I did, but here's the way
 I have the system's setup at present. Warp 4 on both.

 AMD K6/2-350 10.3GB Seagate, all OS/2, with 96MB memory.  OS/2 only see's
 8.3GB of the drive so the other 2GB is wasted. Haven't really done much
 with that machine as I'm waiting to finish the P120 which will be
 dedicated to OS/2 with the 10.3GB and a new 8.3GB HD's and 96MB Ram.

 AMD K6/2-450 8.3GB Seagate 4.3GB WD Caviar, both IDE drives, with 128MB
 Memory. Dual Boot with WIN98 & OS/2. OS/2 has ALL the WD 4.3GB drive and
 "shares" two (2GB) logical drives with WIN98 using FAT16. The "shared"
 drives are for primarily for compressed files used by the BBS plus for
 data to be burned to CD under WIN98. I also have Terminate on one of
 those "shared" drives, so both OS's can use the same copy. So far, each
 OS _seems_ to be working OK, with a few OS/2 exceptions noted below...

 Most of these questions are probably relatively simple for old OS/2 user's
 but remember, I'm a _newbie_ with a lot of "DOS think" to get rid of. 

 (1) When I open the DRIVE Icon to see the list of available drives, how
     can I prevent the error message regarding DRIVE A not ready, simply
     because there isn't a disk in the drive?

 (2) I have two Internal USR/3Com Sportster 56k modems on COM3 and COM4,
     neither of which, is a "WINModem". SIO only registers COM1 and COM2
     when OS/2 is loaded and as a result, neither modem is available under
     OS/2. I _did_ add the line   to the
     DEVICE=SIO line in the config.sys file. Is there anything else I need
     to do?

 (3) With FP9, my Internal ATAPI ZIP Drive _IS_ recognized and used by OS/2
     however, the ONLY way I can eject a ZIP disk is to exit OS/2! I can't
     swap disks while in OS/2, even if I'm not using it. Is this normal or
     am I missing something here as well?

 (4) Is there any way to get rid of the Blue background with the OS/2 WARP
     Logo on the desktop? I would prefer a totally black background with
     just the Icon's and tool bar, etc., displayed. Is this possible and if
     so, how?

 (5) I haven't tried it yet, but the question still remains.... Will DOS
     Communications programs bomb under OS/2 with a ScreenSaver active as
     they do with WIN9x? Keep in mine I've been using WIN9x for a few years
     and it may take a while to get over the "WIN think" as well. 
     Specifically, Terminate! Under WIN9x, it will #NOT# answer the phone
     when a screen saver is active. To get around this, I use the Power
     Management to turn off the Monitor after 30 minutes. Will I have to do
     the same with OS/2? Is there a "Power Management" feature easily
     assessable under OS/2?

 As I mentioned in previous posts, now that I have OS/2 up & running, I'm
 full of questions that I either couldn't find answers to in the manual or
 simply didn't understand. I have a feeling this is just the beginning.

 Thanks...
 
 Have a GREAT one!
