Tandy GRiD 325sc
Marc Galloway posted his experience of install OS/2 Warp Connect (Blue Edition) on a old Tandy GRiD 325sc computer. This is a summary of his progress.
Attached Hardware
There had been extra cards added to the computer to acomplish IDE and sound support. The extra cards attached are:
- SIIG Fast EIDE Controller - ISA
- Yamaha OPL YMF701-S Sound Card - ISA
- KNE 2121+ Network Card -
CD-ROM Installation
OS/2 Warp 3 Connect CD-ROM installation was acomplished with the included diskettes with the following techinique.
After trying multiple combinations the one that worked was this:
- Moved Compact Flash (C drive) to the secondary IDE interface and set as master
- Moved CD-ROM to primary IDE interface and set as master
- Verified motherboard IDE interfaces were disabled in the BIOS
- Booted from OS/2 Warp Connect install floppy and install proceeded
The IDE card was smart enough during the bus scan to figure out the order of devices and let boot in this odd configuration.
