Now i'm getting Email again after sorting things out with TPG, so I'll ask it again. When eCs boots does it follow the sequence in config.sys? My reason for asking this is that booting stops after the zip driver (OAD) is loaded until I switch on the zip drive. Then after 10 seconds booting continues and the router is connected next. I don't think I had to have the zip drive switched on with eCs 1.1 so wonder why I do with eCs 1.2. My zip drive is connected to a parallel port and is then connected to the printer.

Why are you still using this outdated OAD driver? I've told you to use the ppaos2 driver instead (and had sent it to you by private mail), didn't I? -- Groeten uit Gent, Kris http://www.taartenbakkerij dot com/bestanden/warpstock-europe-2005-dresden.jpg http://www.taartenbakkerij dot com/bestanden/zum_weberplatz.jpg ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 3 ==========================** Date: Wed, 28 Sep 2005 22:43:02 +0000 From: Alan Duval Subject: Re: Booting sequence Kris Steenhaut wrote: > > > Alan Duval ha scritto: > >> Hi, >> >> Someone's probably answered this but as I haven't been receiving >> Email from the os2genau site for weeks I have missed it.

Could you send it again with instructions how to make it the default Zip driver?

Problem now is, I don't remember all the ins 'n' outs of the sequence it does follow. I do know that the BASEDEVs are very early in the sequence, which is why they must be in 1 of only a couple of specific directories and must not have path included with them. They load before there is enough system loaded to understand a path statement. I'm sure someone else on this list will either know how it all works, or where to find out how it all works.
