I tried both, but neither worked until I changed the virtual machine to PIIX3. So both now work. These are the virtual machine settings that worked 4096 MB RAM PIIX3 chipset Video RAM 33 MB PIIX4 disk controller (using IBM1S506.ADD) 2 TB expanding drive 20 GB boot volume E: formatted JFS Intel PRO/1000 MT desktop (using IBM Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (OS/2) (IBMGU.OS2)) USB 2.0 This finally is working the way I'd expect eCS to work. -- Neil Waldhauer neil@blondeguy.com www.blondeguy.com Expert consulting for OS/2 Warp, ArcaOS and eComStation
