Ascentia 950N Floppy Error Installing OS/2 Warp
PROBLEM
If trying to install OS/2 Warp from floppy disk when running an Ascentia
950N system on battery (not turbo) power, a trap error message may be
received with Disk 2, and the system may be halted. If doing the same
operation with turbo enabled or on AC power, no error is received and the
installation proceeds normally.
CAUSE
While the system is on battery power, there is a conflict between Power
Management and the install program.
SOLUTION
Install this and other operating systems with AC power attached or with
Turbo mode enabled (+).
