Hi, I have just ordered myself an 8GB SD card for my ASUS EeePC on eBAY - good price, don't know about the quality yet .. - nothing new there - but .. Look through the description of it: http://cgi.ebay dot com dot au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110241756791 and you'll see as well as listing Windows and MAC compatible it actually lists OS/2 Warp as well! It's a long time since I've seen OS/2 listed - normally we have to "trust our instincts" on whether a part will work with eComStation and OS/2.

For some strange reason when I try mounting it in my eCS 2.0 RC1 partition the WPS locks up.

My point was that this is a vendor actually listing OS/2 Warp as supported !! - You know that OS that died many years ago ?
