- I have absolutely the same problem with a SYDOS / SYQUEST 88 MB drive.
-
- I would be very pleased if someone could confirm this problem.
- Is it as it is ????
- Or am I just tooo stupid to configure the whole thing????
-
- Bye the way, what about reading the DOS formatted disk in a OS/2-DOS-session??
- I did not try that one
-
- Any help would be appreciated (otherwise I have to get rid of this stuff 8-{ )
-
- thanx Helmut
