IBM Family 1 Floppy Driver for PCs with PCI or ISA bus systems. Supports diskette drives on non-Micro Channel PCs.

BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD <parameters>

TIP: If you wish to prevent users from using the floppy drives under OS/2 (to keep them from loading non-authorised programs or in a workstation situation), REM the BASEDEV=IBMxFLPY.ADD line (where x is 1 for ISA and EISA machines, or 2 for Microchannel).
NOTE: In Warp, the install program may have placed both IBM1FLPY.ADD and IBM2FLPY.ADD BASEDEV drivers in your config.sys. Remove IBM2FLPY.ADD if you don't have a Micro Channel PC.

The correct setting for e.g. a IBM ThinkPad 560 with external floppy disk is (see the Warp Reference book for a detailed description):

BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD /A:0 /FORCE:2 /U:0 /F:1.44MB /U:1 /F:1.44MB

This is a recommended setting for the ThinkPad 701 Dock II when having problems installing OS/2 Warp using external floppy drive:

BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD /A:0 /U:0 /CL:AT

Here it is a different setting for the "Diskette Drive Not Accessible after Installation of OS/2 Warp":

BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD /A:0 /U:0 /CL:NONE

Using the /DAPM Parameter (which disables the Power Management) may also help on some notebooks (e.g. ThinkPad 600) that cannot find the floppy drive.
