- Yes, I tried the new ibm1s506.add. With the /v switch, I could see that
- this driver works - the error orrurs after that. So, what? This time it's
- the ibm1flpy.add driver that doesn't work on my machine. I copied the
- Service Pack ibm1flpy.add to the OS/2 2.1 Install Disk 1 - and now it works.
- Strange... in 2.0, ibm1s506 doesn't work, in 2.1 ibm1flpy doesn't...
- Don't they like Amstrad machines at IBM?
