Use only the required driver, and place it after the PCMCIA services in config.sys. You have loaded the PCMCIA services ? And assuming your thinkpad is IDE, the 506 driver must come first, then the scsi driver, also ensure you are loading the ASPI driver, as most of the tape drivers as ASPI based.

Use a NIC after RARing the drive up :-) Happy to help on Sunday afternoon if you like, though I dont have any PCCard NIC's at present, Sunday is my first day off in 13 days, and looking forward to it, the Melbourne jungle is to much for me..... Also have some SCSI CDR's that we could try hooking up and backup using CDRecord, or even do a mirror on a SCSI HD, then copy to tape using a PC. Cheers Ian B Manners http://www.os2site dot com/ 13.

Hello all, I have a bit of a problem with my warp when it is booting up. It all started when I opened the Templates folder and, much to my surprise, the system froze solid. I tried ctrl+esc and it came up with the Templates isn't responding, press enter to end. Well I did many times but this didn't help. So after I realised it wasn't going to work itself out, I Ctrl+Alt+Del to get out. OK. So when I boot up now, everything opens that should but, when the templates folder goes to open (because it was there when I shut down, the system locks again and I cannot do anything on my machine, no matter what combination of keys (the mouse is froze too) I push. Any help would be great Glenn Montgomery [attachments have been removed] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 4 ==========================** Date: Fri, 21 Feb 2003 22:53:28 +1100 (EDT) From: "John Angelico" Subject: Re: [os2genau] _digest] Warp 4 is frozen on startup...

Look at os2site dot com in the Software/Hobbes mirror. Second specific suggestion would be: Track the path to the Templates folder. Write it down. Then shut down and reboot to a command line only (Alt-F1 reboot). Each template is a real file, so make a temp template folder at the command line, and move all the Templates into it. NB: you must use the OS/2 command line. Then reboot to the WPS and try opening the Templates folder again. If you get the same problem then it belongs to the folder, not the Templates themselves. If not, look in the temporary folder you made and see if the problem recurs. If there is no problem anymore, then the problem was probably in the EAs and you have killed it by making the moves. Restore templates to their proper folder, and resume normal life. If there is a problem, then it's in the files, and you are in for a laborious time of reboots. Start restoring files from temp to real Templates folder in pairs (requires only half the reboots), using an Alt-F1 command line boot, then return to the WPS to see if the problem moves, until you isolate the offending file. Then it's a case of deleting the offender and recreating it - probably by hand. It's a bit long-winded, so I am prepared to defer to anyone with a more elegant solution.
