It is said that Warp improves the <2.1 speed, but I must say I haven't noticed anything better! Now I maybe I should reformat my HD <g>, buy extra mem (16Mb already) and get an Octium and… Seriously, I also have to say that CDRom edition of Warp failed (msg was "User error"!) during the installation on my home computer (DX2-66 4Megs, 504MegIDE, SB16 & Panasonic 563 CDRom), and I've struggled 8 hours before giving up, and _manually_ removing very file that OS2 put on my drive… Some files actually can't be removed, be it via DOS, Windows, PCTools… I'll wait for Windows95 now, then wait for OS/2 HyperSpace, then… I'd really appreciate someone who could bring the Amiga back on our desks… Fred.

Forget running Warp with 4mb. The OS may run, but many applications won't, and those that will are dog slow. 16mb is a minimum for comfort.

Well, I wasn't really complaining about Warp under 4megs, but about the installation that completely failed on a rather common computer… Fred. Frederic Botton from Paris, France fbotton@cix.compulink.co.uk

I had OS2.1 install on floppies. About the 6th disk into it I got an unreadable disk error. What a pain. Finally got a replacement disk. I too was tempted to remove because nothing runs on it and it's taking up valuable resources, but I found a very usable terminal program for it. Like I say, I still have an A1200 sitting right next to it. -Richard
