Aptiva - Installing Warp on an IBM Aptiva
Applicable to: United States
The OS/2 Warp Aptiva Update files are available in the OS/2 Forum on American Online and Prodigy.

Procedure 1 Determine the model number of your Aptiva
Procedure 2 Replace one of the installation diskettes that came with OS/2 Warp
Procedure 3 Disable Rapid Resume and Read Prefetch
Procedure 4 Install OS/2 Warp
Procedure 5 Run the UPDATE.CMD program from the Aptiva Applications Programs Update diskette
Procedure 6 Setup Rapid Resume (Optional)

You should have one of these model numbers:
Model 310 (2144-22P)
Model 330 (2144-24P)
Model 335 (2144-25P)
Model 343 (2144-29P)
