IBM Family 1 Floppy Driver for PCs with PCI or ISA bus systems. Supports diskette drives on non-Micro Channel PCs.
Syntax
BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD <parameters>
Samples
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.
Remarks
- 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.
