If you want USB Mouse/Keyboard add this line:-
BASEDEV=USBHID.SYS
(If using as a guest in VBox you may not need the above line)
Hi Pete,
this is not sufficient for native USB keyboard and mouse support.
But in any case, in order to keep things simple and to not confuse Mauro any further, I strongly recommend to NOT specify any HID drivers (USBHID.SYs, USBKBD.SYS, USBMOUSE.SYS) at all. That's because for the guest, VBOX properly emulates a PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse, no matter what physical keyboard and mouse HW you use.
In short: you need no USB drivers in the guest to have keyboard and mouse support in VBOX.

Pete and Lars, my config.sys lines now (following your indications) are:
REM BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBOHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBEHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBD.SYS
REM BASEDEV=USBHID.SYS
BASEDEV=USBMSD.ADD
BASEDEV=USBCDROM.ADD /CDS:1
BASEDEV= USBMSD.ADD /REMOVABLES:8 /FLOPPIES:0
REM DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\USBKBD.SYS
REM DEVICE=C:\OS2\apps\AMOUSE\AMOUSE.SYS
REM DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\USBMOUSE.SYS
REM DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\USBCOM.SYS
then at startup I'm getting the following situation -see pictures
1 a warning tells that volume D device is not ready - have to twiceclick "Return Error code to program" before screen clears-
2 devices from A to H appeared (they were A to E in the initial situation with no config.sys mods), of which now ABDFG when called give same "device not ready" warning, H (Vbox shared folder) is empty as it should be, E is the CD/DVD/ISO volume for VBox assumption (use to be D)
3 screenshot of the actual Hardware Resources detected.
Thank you
