Hi, John...

I'm having a problem configuring Warp 4 CP2 to use an IBM Microdrive on my Thinkpad 600 and wondered if it might be a problem with IRQs...

I've just reinstalled Warp 4 from scratch on one T600 including support for PCMCIA but the system freezes when I insert the CF drive.

It works OK on another system, but I don't have sound working on that system - don't know if that is relevant.

I've tried paring down config.sys to identify the required lines but there are almost 200 lines and trial and error is proving somewhat cumbersome...
I was hoping you'd get a better response on the eCS Technical list. My apologies for not following up sooner, and (to all) for not following up there instead of here, as this is way OT for this list.

I once had this issue myself. I just don't recall what I determined to be the answer. Are you using Dani's driver? Here's what I've got on the T43 (simply as reference):

BASEDEV=DANIS506.ADD /VL /GBM /A:0 /U:0 /IT:5 /A:1 /BAY /A:2 /BAY /A:3 /PCS

Make sure you at least have the /PCS option specified:

    /PCS     Support all found PCCard Slots
    /PCS:n  Support at most n PCCard Slots

I'm currently using 1.8.1.

If you're using IBM1S506, I'm not sure of the options...

Also, check out the possible need for:

ICMEMCDD.SYS or ICMEMTD.SYS, and PCM2ATA.SYS.

It's been so long since I used my CF drive, that I can't recall.

Here's a good reference:
