- I've got a similar setup on my computer. I have 120 and 44mb IDE drives and
- 80mb and 65mb scsi's. The system MUST boot off of the IDE drives, then use
- the SCSIAHA Adaptec drivers to access the SCSI drives. The CMOS will show
- the IDE's, then the driver will show the SCSI. If you tell the SCSI card to
- show the SCSI's, then the IDE's will disappear. You're only solution is to
- install a minimal OS/2 setup on the 40mb, then move some of the OS/2 software
- as well as the swap file to the 120mb drive.
- Otherwise, buy an 80mb IDE drive, or get rid of the 40meg.
