I'm not sure that I can help you, but I'll give it a try. I just bought myself a used IBM 760EL ThinkPad, preloaded with Windows95. I anticipate several problems trying to load Warp. IBM is real good about their support for their laptops try IBM first, you'll be amazed how much support they have.
This is a sample of a CONFIG.SYS statement that I came across:
BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD /A:0 /FORCE:1 /U:0 /F:1.44MB (and either) /BM (or) /!BM

If I can gather up my links, I'll send them to you (e-mail)

i have an TP390,
and i use the normal OS/2 floppy driver.

I installed the DD-Fixpak with the newes drivers.
I have also some problems, with the floppy, because the powermanagement (APM) disturb the floppy access. There is an parameter /NOAPM or so (see in the dokomentation under BASEDEV ...mayby i remenber this wrong my thinkpad is 2 miles away from me)

Mayby you have an hardware problem, is the floppy locked in the ultrabay?
Did the floppy work under other operating systems (Dos, Windooze)?
