Please go to www.yahoogroups dot com to subscribe if you are interested. I am in direct contact with evermore software are they are eager to make this work fully on os/2. I have already sent invites to those who have corresponded with me either off-list or through this list but I am sure there are others who will be interested as well. Rather than flood this list with info, I have started ONLY posting eioffice relevant information to the new group. Some come and join if you think you can help or you are simply interested to having another alternative for an OS/2 Office package. Cheers/2 Ed.

I don't have either the Sony or Goldstar (aka LG) drive so I can't comment if this is a known flaw in the drives. I have used cdrecord/2 with several different drives however without problems though, so I'd suggest that this is a hardware or hardware driver issue rather than a problem in CDRecord/2. Cheers/2 Ed.

That is to say I have used the Dani drivers and OS2CDROM driver with even less success. Where can I get these delightful new drivers? I have FP15 (not installed), would a suitable version be there? >I'd suggest that this is a hardware or hardware >driver issue rather than a problem in CDRecord/2 > I agree. It's definitely a driver problem. The Sony rips fine in Windoze.

BUT there's a catch. Cdrecord/2 requires the Dani drivers. Will see what I can get away with :-) Cheers G ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 5 ==========================** Date: Sat, 07 Feb 2004 10:20:12 +1000 From: "David Shearer" Subject: Re: Warp 64?? What is the point about 64 bit anyway - where is the 64bit applications that would exploit the power of the system? It is like saying back in 1985 I want a 386 but had to wait ten years before there was any true 32bit software etc. David On Fri, 06 Feb 2004 15:08:25 +1100, Gavin Miller wrote: >Hi all, > >What are the odds of a 64 bit OS/2/eCs?

It was danis506.add that was the problem, so I grabbed a new version. Did have to disable bus mastering on the Sony. Now I can seperate the two drives into two machines.
