Yes Bob ..

I thought I covered that in the prompt to visit the IBM device driver site and 
get the two replacement floppy disk images for Disk #1 and Disk #2 from the 
Laptop support section.  They have the needed files on them, as well as a 
modified CONFIG.SYS for the copy from floppy changes needed.

Your note is significant in relation to my comment for another vector,though 
Bob.  Once you go in with that set of diskettes, updating to the Device Driver 
#2 package I guess would have to be approached from the standpoint that the IBM 
506 IDE driver would have to be thought about come upgrade time there, no?

Isn't the Cat's Meow at all this the fabled Device Driver Pack 003 which isn't 
public or free?  Would you get the question that this driver is more recent 
than the one on the Fix Pack 002 and you should not replace it?

Is that the right thought line?

Thanks.
