[WarpCast] ORB Drives - 8/28/99 |
Coming August 1999 -- Inet.Mail Pro 1.5 Virtual domains on a single ip address, increased performance, and more from the best mail server for OS/2. http://www.hethmon.com -- sales@hethmon.com ****************************** WarpCast ****************************** Source: Robert Mauro (rmauro@cei.nu) Moderator: Christopher B. Wright (wrightc@dtcweb.com) ********************************************************************** 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/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
