On the IBM 'free' access web site, there is, or was, an update for the two 
floppy diskettes which had/have the later drivers needed for use to install 
OS/2 to later versions of the IBM ThinkPad line.  These have the updated 
versions of the IDE drivers and so on you likely may need.

The package was released January 15, 2000, per my files here:

    WARP4IU.TXT   -   The read file for this
    WARP4IU1.EXE  -   Floppy disk install disk 1 content
    WARP4IU2,EXE  -   FLoppy disk install disk 2 content

And you have to have the CONFIG.SYS file for the install diskette set to 
something line SET COPYFROMFLOPPY=ON or something like this.  You are trying 
this way, no?

If not, these were (are?) not limited to P/A or SWC access at that time,as far 
as I know or found out.  If you don't have the files and want them, how can we 
get them to you?  Met Mail with attach?  Or if they are not on my TELNET Fido 
BBS here I can sure put them there propertly and you can download them from it?

As well, if you are using SCSI disk components, there are also Adaptec device 
driver changes which can be needed for this.  I have all them here and they, 
too, are *NOT* private updates from P/A or SWC.  If you need them we can figure 
out which ones for which Adaptec card needed. If this is the issue, I also have 
help for you as to which other drivers you may have to remove from the install 
diskettes to make room for the larger Adaptec device driver files...

Can I help?
