   i'm trying to install OS/2 2.0 on my Thinkpad 700C (16 floppy disks, wow) but i'm running into this weird error message. anyone recognize it?

     i have a funny feeling this is a problem with my DBA-ESDI emulator. also it appears to be corrupting sector writes, so i'll need to solve that problem.

     this is hilarious: the xscreensaver called "bsod" (which i used to use as my screensaver many years ago) has an OS/2 2.0 fake BSOD with many of the same details! same trap address, same BIOS version. wild.

     ...but this is umm less promising. "Trap D" is IBM-speak for "General Protection Fault"

     https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:AIUF3kbmvokJ:annex.retroarchive.org/cdrom/pier-05/036/INSINF/INSTALL.TXT says that i need to copy SF85E4X.BIO to both Install and Disk01. then add "SF85E4X.BIO" to the start of ABIOS.SYS (a text file) on both disks.
