      Problems Accessing Devices with Future Domain Driver during
                       OS/2 Warp Installation

DESCRIPTION

When installing from a CD-ROM drive attached to a SCSI adapter that is 
serviced by a Future Domain driver, the installation halts with a 
request for the OS/2 Warp CD. The CD is not recognized and installation
stops.
                                                                       
The following drivers are affected:                                
                                                                       
   FD16-700.ADD                                                   
   FD7000EX.ADD                                                   
   FD8XX.ADD

When installing from diskettes, OS/2 usually cannot access any disks or
media on the adapter after the first restart.

RESOLUTION

If you have this level of the Future Domain Drivers:  
                                                                      
                     Date           Size
                     ----           ----
   FD16-700.ADD      01/10/95       31258                          
   FD7000EX.ADD      12/12/94       30030                          
   FD8XX.ADD         12/12/94       20848                          
                                                                        
Replace them with the drivers that came with the OS/2 Warp GA level:

                     Date           Size
                     ----           ----
   FD16-700.ADD      10/07/94       30556                
   FD7000EX.ADD      10/05/94       20642                
   FD8XX.ADD         10/05/94                            
                                                              
The drivers that work correctly are the OS/2 Warp GA Future Domain 
drivers, which are on the OS/2 Warp diskettes. They also are on the IBM
PCC BBS (919-517-0001) and the Internet (http://www.pc.ibm.com). The 
file to download is FDWPGA.ZIP. It contains:
