Funny, I've installed eCS on more than a dozen machines.
The only one I had problems with was a refurbished IBM ThinkPad 580Z. I had to use the IBM drivers
instead of the new DANI drivers.

<br>Really? So far with 6 computers I am unable to get the Ecom station
installed. In fact I have only
<br>been able to get it on one computer without reverting to the 2nd diskette
which has the old IBM
<br>install. That one works fine and does not put in all the silly
window dressing that the ECS puts in.
<p>ECS is worth the money but only because it has the old reliable install
from IBM. If they only had
