Hi there can somebody give me a advice how to do this?

I have several IBM 32160 2GB 68PIN drives and I want to install one in my Model 56. (I use a 68>50 converter)
Currently I use a IBM 540MB that is working fine. If I change it to the 2GB drive, the machine always get's stuck/freeze at boot.

ID is set to 6
HDD is at the end of the scsi-cable
Termination on the HDD is set

Machine does not boot, does not count the memory, shows me the obvious IML Partition error and then it get stuck 00011500.
I think it's not possible to get the 2GB DCAS 32160 working.

Oh man, a fallen off jumper lead to the problems. external 2GB SCSI drive is now working fine beside a internal 540MB SCSI.
Next are SCSI CDROM and ZIP or JAZ drive in SCSI.

Internal HD would be like this:
PC-DOS 5.0
WIN95A
OS2 2.x
OS2 3.x
Slackware 2.2
