Apparently, there are no working drivers for 
OS/2 Warp for the Orb Drives at this time. 
According to Engineers at Castlewood 
Systems, they cite problems with getting the 
drive to work without locking up using the 
IBM IDE Drivers that successfully work with 
Zip, Syquest and other removable media. The 
only method they can get it to work is by 
using the drive as fixed, non-removable 
media. Release on the drivers is currently 
suspended until they can find a solution to 
the problem. They currently have a call or 
email in to Sam Detweiller in the hopes of 
finding assistance to solve their issues.

***NOTE: Though the boxes and the website 
claim OS/2 Support, at this time, they are 
incorrect. Not even beta drivers are 
available for download at this time.

If anyone has tried an internal IDE drive 
using IBM's newer ATAPI drivers, or used the 
MAC SCSI drive with Warp and found success, 
I am sure that the team at Castlewood would 
be greatful to hear from you... their 
website is http://www.castlewoodsystems.com/
