Hey, thanks Mike!

I'm running MCP2 updated with FP5, latest TCP/IP etc...

So all you need is a "BASEDEV=USBMSD.ADD" statement in your config.sys
file?

Do you have to do anything to get the system to recognize the drive
(refresh removable devices, reboot with hardware detection etc)?

What does the DFSee do for you? I've had all kinds of problems
getting large drives to partition, format and install even after
building updated install CD's (with os/2 updater). Also trying to use
large drives... I'm using these EZRaid3 mirroring units and have not
found any combination of drivers, updates or hardware that will allow
OS/2 to partition, format and install with this drive system. I have
to partition, format and install using a single bare drive, then put
the drive into the EZRaid to get it to work...

Thanks again for your help!
