I would need the use of an OS/2 eCS computer and about 20 Mb hard disk space for about half an hour. Anything I put on the hard drive would stay in one directory and be deleted when finished.

I took a look around several boxes we have here and got hte following - Box running NT4.0 has Pimary drive in 4 partitions c.d.e.f 1 cd h 1 cd-rw h and a second (older) hd as i. This does not follow my explanation but this could be due to this box having a history of disks being added and removed or upgraded over time. Box running XP has first drive partitioned with 1 ntfs and several Linux partns. The ntfs is c. A second drive has 1 fat as d , 1 "raw" as e (basically for future use for linux when I get XP to behave itself) and 1 ntfs as f, the cd is g. Box running 98SE (originally 1 drive now 2, but windows was completely re-installed when upgraded). first drive c, second d and cd is e. When I get time to pull the boxes apart I will check which are primary/secondary controllers and the m/s arrangement. I have my own box at home which has a single drive and mutiple partns set up as triple boot 98,linux and ecs. 98 only sees the first partn c and makes the cd d, but I am adding some more drives to it this weekend and will let you know if anything interesting happens. jaw On Fri, 13 Dec 2002, Voytek Eymont wrote: > ** Reply to note from John Wildgoose Thu, 12 Dec 2002 23:28:25 +1100 (EST) > > > > Is this by any chance an older IDE system?
