| Hello, I've OS2 warp4 running on an actual PC (Floppy drive via USB !) I tought to redirect all calls to A/B to a substituded path on an other drive. But when I enter these commands in an OS/2 window, I get errors (command are only DOS commands). How can I do this so it will work also in OS2? regards, |

| I've had this problem in the past. I'm currently researching whether it cna be done by assigning drive letters to shared directories via some kind of networking, which would also involve disabling the floppy driver in config.sys. I'll let you know! Stuart |

| Alternative is NDFS, that can be used for mapping one drive letter to another (among many other things ;o) http://www.blueprintsoftwareworks.com/netdrive/about.html Cheers |

| Had you already tried removing the lines BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD From your config.sys? I really don't know what happens (since I had never tried myself removing both IBM1FLPY.ADD and IBM2FLPY.ADD), but I believe without those drivers, OS/2 would not use A and B drive letters anymore. |

Hello, I've did the test. I rem'd out these 3 lines. This gave me the following message : TVMOUNT: error mounting drive "A:" (rc=85) Who has other ideas? |
