| Hello, I've OS2 warp4 running on an actual PC (Floppy drive via USB !) I've an application in OS2 that needs the use of drives A/B. I tought to redirect all calls to A/B to a substituded path on an other drive. In DOS (under OS2) this is possible as : subst m: e:\ab assign a=m But when I enter these commands in an OS/2 window, I get errors (command are only DOS commands). How can I do this so it will work also in OS2? regards, |

| I've had this problem in the past. I'm currently researching whether it cna be done by assigning drive letters to shared directories via some kind of networking, which would also involve disabling the floppy driver in config.sys. I'll let you know! Stuart |

| Hi All I have not tried this myself but the description looks like it may come in handy for a couple of people here:- The Toronto Virtual File System Author: Mark D. Leitch Version: 2.10 Date: November 11, 1996 Abstract: The TVFS provides a virtual OS/2 file system that combines symbolic links, search paths, and permissions. Through the TVFS, local and remote file systems may be combined into a single, virtual file system. To be found here (if interested) http://www.tavi.co.uk/os2pages/ews/tvfs.zip Regards Pete |

| Had you already tried removing the lines BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD BASEDEV=IBM2FLPY.ADD BASEDEV=XDFLOPPY.FLT From your config.sys? I really don't know what happens (since I had never tried myself removing both IBM1FLPY.ADD and IBM2FLPY.ADD), but I believe without those drivers, OS/2 would not use A and B drive letters anymore. |

Hello, I've did the test. but no success. I rem'd out these 3 lines. I started TVFS with the command "tvctl -Dw" and afterwarts I tried to "tvmount a:" This gave me the following message : TVMOUNT: error mounting drive "A:" (rc=85) For drive B: was this the same result. Who has other ideas? |
