Victor, My experience with the IBM card under Warp is that it does NOT hot plug - mine has to be in at boot (at least with the driver I have). (This is with an IBM 755CX w/ 40 MB RAM / 810 MB HD / Warp 3.0 w/Fixpack 10 / current TP stuff from the IBM www site). It works fine with a Toshiba 3401 external drive and with a HP1533A 4mm DAT drive as long as a device (CD or tape) and the card is plugged in (I use a port replicator with 2 PCMCIA slots) at boot. I would like to hear otherwise ... Stu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stuart F.
