Subject:   SD card lists OS/2 Warp supported !

Hi,

  I have just ordered myself an 8GB SD card for my ASUS EeePC on eBAY - 
good price, don't know about the quality yet .. - nothing new there - 
but .. Look through the description of it:

http://cgi.ebay dot com dot au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110241756791

and you'll see as well as listing Windows and MAC compatible it actually 
lists OS/2 Warp as well! It's a long time since I've seen OS/2 listed - 
normally we have to "trust our instincts" on whether a part will work 
with eComStation and OS/2.

Cheers/2

Ed.

Well with a 4GB SDHC card here, formatted FAT32 using DFSee, works fine in 
eCS 2.0 RC4.  For some strange reason when I try mounting it in my eCS 2.0 
RC1 partition the WPS locks up.

The 8GB SD card will get partitioned to hold eCS, Xandros(EeePC) and 
probably a Win partition and then get used in my ASUS EeePC.

My point was that this is a vendor actually listing OS/2 Warp as 
supported !! - You know that OS that died many years ago ?

Cheers/2

Ed.
