Hi, I have an adaptec AHA-460 card that works OK under both DOS/WIN and warp. However, it has some problems with the new 810 MB HD i installed DOS/WIN on recently, but I think I'll be able to resolve that with a bios upgrade. There are two cons that might interesting even with other cards: A) The connector is huge and bulky, and somewhat in the way when i have an external keyboard/mouse. Do try to get a small connector. B) Reportedly, the AHA-460 does not, and probably never will, work with linux. This card is really made by trantor for adaptec, so if you are interested, go for the never AHA-1460 that works with linux. As for OS/2 drivers, they are available for both cards above, but you have to ftp them of adaptecs ftp-site. I know there are at least one other card that works with linux. Unfortunately, no PCMCIA-SCSI card will give you the possibility to install warp from the CD. This is IBMs fault - they just load the drivers too late in the booting process. Let's hope they resolve it in the future. Take a look at the www-page at http://peipa.essex.ac.uk, there is a link to linux on the thinkpads, where you can get a list of compatible cards. (If you are interested in linux, but otoh, you never know, and it won't hurt to get a compatible card!) Regards and good luck, Erik
