See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge [Q] I think someone on the Aero list has figured out how to get the floppy disk access to work under Warp. I don't remember the details. [A] I did ... by booting DOS 6.21 under OS/2. But I started farquing around with a device driver called 'reserve.sys' which seems to tell OS/2 to NOT use specific areas of memory. Sounded great - possibly OS/2 using D000-DFFF was what was causing the floppy to die; unfortunately I couldn't get reserve.sys to work (there's no documentation), and when I removed it it killed my setup so that my 'DOS w/ floppy' wasn't working anymore!!! I'm going to retry getting it to work again when I get the time (sigh) ... then it will eventually go on my web page (sigh) User Contributions:Top Document: Compaq Contura Aero Frequently Asked Questions Previous Document: 3.3.8.3 OS/2 Warp in 4MB RAM?
