IBM1FLPY.ADD
Installs support for diskette drives. Use this driver for PCs with PCI or ISA bussystems. See the Tips and Tricks section for more information. Supports diskette drives on non-Micro Channel PC's.
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
Using the /DAPM Parameter (which disables the Power Managment) may also help on some notebooks (e.g. Thinkpad 600) that cannot find the floppy drive.
