E/D 1.99p6 and Warp



I apologize in advance if this message already made it to this list, but I
never saw it and I understand that there were some temporary email problems,
so here it is again...

I finally downloaded 1.99p6 and yes, it still runs DNA Strider!  Speedometer
also runs now (when I boot to DOS).  

However,  I would appreciate help/suggesstions/comments from any of you out
there who are successfully running p6 under OS/2 Warp.  Executor runs
>>much<< faster under Warp, but has two (serious) problems at present.

1) Attempting to run Speedometer under Warp freezes E/D. ( I've got an
ancient 386DX25 with 20 Megs RAM.  Under DOS Speedometer gives me a "PR
score" of 0.236... you can see why I want the speed increase I get from
running it under Warp).
2) More importantly, I can't transfer files to/from my floppy drive (and it
takes forever to read the files on a floppy) under Warp.  I honestly can't
remember if this happened under 1.99o.  If I open a file on my floppy from
within an application, it pulls up an empty file (no info is read or
displayed from the file).  If I try to copy a file to/from a floppy, it
gives me an I/O error.

Anyone know what Warp settings to change?  (Or does the solution to these
I/O errors require changes in E/D?)

Thanks in advance,

Anton
