Storage / Re: Using a 1 TB USB hard drive

I agree with Doug.
I have three computers with two or more 1.5TB drives each in them (all running WSeB CP2). All of these drives are SATA and I am using the latest Dani driver in each case. The first drive on each box is internal (one has a second internal drive) and the remainder of the drives are in removable SATA caddies. I also have several 1TB, 1.5TB and 2TB drives that get slotted into a USB/SATA adapter for use as necessary.
In no case have I had anything than the standard OS2DASD.DMD line in config.sys and, like Doug, all I did for the USB drives was to clear the MBR region with DFSee and use DFSee to make the partitions. They just work!
I do remember several years ago that we had a client that added a 650GB IDE drive to one of his systems then brought it to us because they were having problems. All we did was replace the IBM1S506.ADD with DANIS506.ADD.
As far as I know the IDEDASD options only apply to IDE drives and when using the IBM1S506.ADD driver.
