The modem did not make a peep under win95 for the 24 or so hours it was here
before fdisk took it away forever.
    I'm sorry, maybe I'm just in a annoyed mood today (no fault of yours -

    The modem works (kinda sorta).  It has a rockwell chipset, but apparently
doesn't have the fix that some other's do.  It cannot be setup to reliably
differentiate between a fax and a data call, nor will it allow callers of
< 2400bps to get a decent connection.  (That may be something in one of the S

Hope someone can shed some light on this. I have several Creative (Panasonic)

manual, you jumper them drive 1 to 4 at the back of these drives, connected
to a common 40pin data cable. OS/2 only sees the first drive and I don't seem
to get it to recognise the other 3 drives.
Can anyone tell me if there is a parameter to set, or should I forget about
this under OS/2? I have not tried under Dos/Win, as I assume this should work
according the hardware manual that comes with the Panasonic drives...
Many thanks in advance...
