I have a Texel 3024 and your T130 adapter card. I successfully loaded OS/2 2.1 after receiving your good advice, but I lose the driver on subsequent reboots. The OS/2 message states that T13BSCSI.ADD was not installed. I have this file in both C:\ & C:\OS2. The following is an abbreviated CONFIG.SYS that was created on the last good OS/2 install (I have installed the system only 23 times so far, so a few more installes won't hurt<g>) BASEDEV=PRINT01.SYS BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD BASEDEV=T13BSCSI.ADD BASEDEV=OS2DASD.DMD DEVICE=C:\OS2\OS2CDROM.DMD /Q IFS=C:\OS2\CDFS.IFS /Q BASEDEV=OS2SCSI.DMD IBM(Boca) had me change the T13B driver around the CONFIG.SYS but it had no effect. I have had some luck in copying a new T13B driver from my CIS Download directory to OS/2, but that has failed to allow the CD-ROM to load the last 5 or 6 times. My gut instinct tells me that there is a file corruption occuring, but I can not isolate it. I downloaded your drivers from your BBS and still have the .ZIP file intact, so I believe that when I copy the T13B drivers over to the OS/2 dir, that I have good files there. Need your help! Michael

BASEDEV=T13BSCSI.ADD BASEDEV=OS2DASD.DMD DEVICE=C:\OS2\OS2CDROM.DMD /Q <—– this is wrong! it should be: <— BASEDEV=OS2CDROM.DMD IFS=C:\OS2\CDFS.IFS /Q BASEDEV=OS2SCSI.DMD That may get you working! This seems to be a common error from the IBM Install program for some reason.
