It's fairly large - about the size of one of the NEC's, but it's much lighter. It's not something you would want to stick in your briefcase and carry around with you if that's what you're looking for. I had used one of the NEC parallel adapters for their SCSI CD players at work and was looking for something for myself that would be easier to set up and use on both my desktop and laptop at home. I am not planning to carry it around, so size and/or weight didn't matter. As far as being able to install Warp with it, I did not since it was already installed on both machines, but I understand that Team OS/2 used one extensively at COMDEX in Atlanta to do just that and that it was very successful. I would think all you would need to do it to edit the config.sys on the Install floppy, copy the driver over to the Install floppy, and off you'd go! If you have a US fax number, I'll fax you the spec sheet. Jane
