Please report your working ArcaOS-OS/2 hardware to be included in the OS2World wiki and help other users.

Any laptop, motherboard, PC, or additional device that works well with ArcaOS and is not yet listed on the OS2World wiki is welcome.

Post your findings on this "OS2World Forum Thread" or in the "Warp Technical" mailing list (https://warp.groups.io/g/warp-technical/message/653), and please include the hardware report.

I need the testlog generic or pci.exe reports. To generate the hardware report, you can refer to this article:

-- Extracting Hardware Information from ArcaOS and OS/2 (https://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php?title=Extracting_Hardware_Information_from_ArcaOS_and_OS/2)

If you are reporting a USB device or a laptop with many internal USB devices attached, please also include the lsusb report.

Should be mentioned that it is a good idea to sanitize the testlog before posting or being added to the wiki. Email, name and license are all at the beginning of the testlog in the personal information segment.

That's a good advice, Email, name and license should be removed from testlog file, just in case.

Hello Matt
Got the file and emailed it to you. 
Thanks for all your work.
Matt W

Did you send it by email or to the mailing list? I didn't get it yet.
Or just post it here and let me know which device are you reporting.

Hello

There haven't been any hardware reports, but I understand it. I wanted to try to take some advantage of some free time I have this local holiday (Friday and Monday), since I'm not going anywhere. - maybe next time I get have some money for holiday vacations  ;D

Check out any hardware that you will like to report and let me know.  At Warpstock the Hello Kitty mouse was a people's favorite.  Can you find the mouse buttons? :D
https://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php?title=Hello_Kitty_KT4098_Mouse

Maybe it is good time to see ask for any opinions on how the "Hardware" section of the wiki is organized: https://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Hardware

Also, I will try my Epson L4150 USB scanner to see if it works.

Hi Martin

Following USB Audi driver updates available from Lars - not sure if they are actually available for download yet - I can report my Dell Slim Soundbar SB521A - https://www.dell.com/en-uk/shop/dell-slim-soundbar-sb521a/apd/520-aasi/pc-accessories - works when plugged into a USB2 port on my system box.
It does not work when plugged into a USB3 port or when using the AN supplied USBAUDIO-12.16 driver.

Hi Martin

Looking at https://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dell_Slim_Soundbar_SB521A I think you need to correct the "with Netlabs' USB Drivers" to something like "with Netlabs' USB Drivers - latest versions are usually found at https://www.hobbesarchive.com/?search=usbdrv".

Reasons: Earlier Netlabs (Lars) build, v10.250, did not work and the Netlabs page only links to https://hobbesarchive.com/ rather than the location of the latest package - just trying to make it easy for people to find the working drivers.

I started with the ASUS

Please check it out. Let me know what do you think.
- Did you added an Intel network card to this mainboard ?
- Is the Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (MMRE.OS2) working?
- About the Audio, I always get confused on which one is the one working. Is it 1022:15E3 or 1022:1637 ?

Post by: Eugene Tucker on November 03, 2024, 02:50:01 am
Martin,
On the Asus I did add the Intel network card rather recently. Both it and the Realtec work. I will have to get back with you on which audio card it is the main one on the board I can say. Now the Brother printer works both machines USB connected. I never could get it to work TCPIP. But on both the Asus and ASRock everything is working well.

HP EliteDesk 800 G4 DM 65W

Intel i5 8600 3.1 GHZ with Intel UHD 630 graphics and Intel i219LM NIC integrated chip.
AOS v 5.1 with WSeB

Ports
There are six USB 3.1 Type A ports on the front and back, and one USB 3.1 Gen 2 port on the front, plus one Configurable Option slot in the back which can contain a DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI, VGA or USB Type-C with alt mode display, USB Type-C with power delivery, DisplayPort 1.4, Thunderbolt 3.0, Serial Port, or Fiber NIC port.

Memory
It has two slots for DDR4-2666 memory for a maximum total of 32 GB.
MEM.EXE reports 3,110 MB accessible to system

Storage
Storage consists of 2 PCIe v 3 NVMe v slots and one non-standard SATA “slot” which requires a special cable - and its own fan.  HP makes a caddy that contains a standard SATA socket and ribbon cable for connecting the SATA drive to the motherboard plus a fan that must be connected to the motherboard connector - see picture.  If you connect a drive to the SATA connector and do not connect a fan you will get an error message on bootup that the fan cannot be detected: you can hit Enter at the error message to continue booting.  The caddy is designed to fit the location where the NVMe SSD drives reside and there is not enough vertical space to position the caddy with NVMe SSD drives installed. You could however attempt a customized install of a SATA drive without the caddy - it will run with both SATA and NVMe SSD drives attached.

Network>
Intel Pro/1000 Network Driver (MultiMac32-E1000B)
With this adapter and driver the transfer speeds using Netbios approximately 28 MB per second - AOS to AOS. With AOS SAMBA 3.6.25 to WIN10 approximately 39 MB per second. (Times reported by Explorer for Win10 and Larsen Commander for AOS.) I have seen speeds as high as 95MB second when transferring from Win10 to AOS.

Power Usage and Sound
The machine does have an internal fan but in most situations the fan spins very slowly and cannot be heard. Running two NVMe SDD drives the power usage at the desktop without the screen saver running is 14 watts.

Audio
To get sound working with UNIAUD you need to submit a ticket to Arca Noae with a test log in order to get a special driver along with the address needed to supply the driver in CONFIG.SYS to make UNIAUD work.

Video
Panorama or unaccelerated SNAP.  Both are more than fast enough.

I had a problem running VLC with Panorama where the system would freeze up at the end of a video. Installing SNAP made the problem go away.

Win-OS/2 and DOS
Win-OS/2 and DOS run but only in full screen mode.

Just a question here:
1) Which Audio device does it has, I didn't find it on the PCI report to get the hardwareID.

Martin,

Good question.  The HP documentation says Conexant CX20632 but I am not sure that is correct.

David A said at one point the audio chip:  "Intel 8086:A348 cAVS audio before but it seems it looks like standard Intel HDA"

Post by: Martin Iturbide on November 05, 2024, 12:04:51 am
Good,  I think PCI.exe recognized it as:
  Vendor 8086h Intel Corporation
  Device A348h Cannon Lake PCH cAVS

I thought that some time back I posted my current computer, apparently not.
Lenovo ThinkCentre M910s, a good choice for running ArcaOS as it is barely too old to run Win 11 so available cheap. It's a small form factor. Everything works except windowed DOS/WinOS2 under legacy. Testlog attached.

I picked up both at the local thrift store for a couple of bucks each.
The keyboard says it is an Eagletec mechanical keyboard, P/N ET-KG010 and the website it points at is for sale. Basic gaming keyboard that feels nice.
The mouse says it is a CyberPowerPC, usual 5 buttons supported by AMouse with the defaults, button 4 toggles scroll direction and button 5 pushes window to the background, both are on the side.
This mouse, after cold boot is really slow, there are 2 buttons behind the wheel that changes the DPI speed, press the one close to the wheel multiple times and the speed is fine. There's another button that when held slows it right down. These may be map-able with the right driver, guess that is why it also claims to be a keyboard. It's a nice feeling mouse.

Hi Dave

Let me know I added correctly the HardwareID on the device, or I'm confused there?

Yes that is the keyboard. Found yesterday the blue LED lighting can be turned off by pressing Fn-Scrlk and brightness adjusted by pressing Fn-Home. Sounds like the better models can use a couple of more keys to change the colour.

No, the web site don't work to well here, even with Dooble. Here's a picture, https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/images/MO/MO-131-101.png (https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/images/MO/MO-131-101.png) and another, https://techgage.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/CyberPowerPC-AMD-VR-Gaming-PC-Gaming-Mouse.jpg (https://techgage.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/CyberPowerPC-AMD-VR-Gaming-PC-Gaming-Mouse.jpg)
I notice that the button to the left of the wheel is broken/missing on my mouse, might be the button to adjust the colours etc.

Getting there. Should mention that the two buttons behind the wheel adjust the speed on our system, it is really slow until the button immediately behind the wheel is pressed multiple times. At least with Amouse, haven't tried any other driver.
The keyboard page looks good.
Thanks.

Log attached for a Gen 1 Lenovo Thinkpad X13 Carbon with 10th gen Intel processor. I need an adaptor to be able to use the Ethernet connection, so only limited testing so far. Nice that it at least shows 2.5GB of RAM...

Should be mentioned that it is a good idea to sanitize the testlog before posting or being added to the wiki. Email, name and license are all at the beginning of the testlog in the personal information segment.

That's a good advice, Email, name and license should be removed from testlog file, just in case.

Regards
Moreover license information appears multiple times throughout the testlog. Those occurrences should be removed as well.

Here it goes: https://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php?title=Lenovo_Thinkpad_X13_Carbon_1st_Gen_-_20T3
I think that the Ethernet will work once you get the "ThinkPad Ethernet Extension Adapter Gen 2" (Part Number: 4X90Q84427). It is the same adapter on my T14s laptop and I'm using that adapter.

Let me know any remarks about the installation that you may want to share.

Thanks Wim, I noticed there is a serial number on the "Panorama" report, I will also remove those numbers every time I see one of those.

I've ordered an ethernet cable for the X13 Carbon - meanwhile, attached is the testlog for the Beelink SEi12. Unfortunately, this one only has 1 GB of ram available. I'll have to experiment with some of the BIOS options

Hi Martin

In response to your request for the lsusb report on the Logitech M570 trackball please find attached lsbout_Logitech.txt

I am guessing that the trackball info is in the Logitech Unifying Receiver report as it does not appear anywhere else in the lsusb output.

Martin,

QuaTech 8 port PCI serial port adapter.  QuaTech made OS/2 drivers for this card, and it looks like all their serial port cards.  QuaTech supplies both an OS2 driver and a virtual driver for DOS/Win-OS/2

 It is sometimes marketed by others, such as HP.

There is a special connector on the card which connects to an octopus type cable assembly with the DB9 connectors at the end.  This is a half-height card.

I have this running in a PCIe slot using a StarTech PEX1PCI1 PCI express to PCI adapter. 

I have two StarTech PCIe to PCI adapters in the same machine: one running the QuaTech PCI serial port card and one running an Intel PCI Network card.

OLD hardware here (working very well with OS/2 CP2 however), so are you still looking for those as well, or focusing more on the mainstream (or at max -5 yrs. from today) timeframe?

LOL - umm, re-reading the Subject of the post gives me the answer...yikes, just how did I miss that???

Just let me know what you have Dariusz. Sure we like new hardware with ArcaOS, but there are things that are old and interesting with the classic OS/2.

Martin, by the way I failed to mention that the Intel NIC works far better than the onboard Reltek. Just for those  who are curious. It seems to be faster. But I have not compared the two.

Model F Labs makes reproduction Model F keyboards. If you have ever typed on IBM PC, XT, or early AT you probably remember the sound and feel of the keyboard; those all used Model F keyboards. IBM AT computers, from 1985 onwards shipped with the then new Model M keyboard which was cheaper to manufacture and had a revised key layout that established to modern keyboard standard used today.

This particular keyboard is a Model F Labs F104 Classic. It is basically a USB connected keyboard that uses the open source QMK programmable keyboard controller with Model F internals in a metal case with the looks and key layout of the IBM Model M keyboard. The pic shows an IBM Model M made in 1993 and a new Model F Labs F104 for comparison; the F104 is on top. The two keyboards are the exact same size; it is the angle of the pic that makes the F104 look smaller. The two main visual differences between the new F104 and the Model M, other than color, is there is no label in the upper left, and what is between the CTRL and ALT keys on the left and right side. On the Model M the case fills in that space, on the F104 a key is inserted in that space; those 2 additional keys are mapped to the Windows key and Windows Menu key by default. Hence the name F104 instead of F102.

The F104 Classic comes in a variety of case and key colors
https://www.modelfkeyboards.com/product/classic-f104-model-f-keyboard
My F104 in the pic has an industrial grey case with standard pearl keyset plus mopar blue keys and a red escape key.

In addition to the two extra keys between ALT and CTRL on each side, you can also split any of the long keys into two keys - the long keys being: backspace, left shift, right shift, enter, keypad plus, keypad enter, keypad zero or space bar. To utilize those extra keys in OS/2 you would have to map the extra key(s) to a key that OS/2 recognizes such as F13 - F24, or assign a keyboard macro to the key that generates a key press combination that OS/2 recognizes.
My F104 Classic in the picture has the short spacebar option which allows for an extra key in between the right ALT and right CTRL keys - the blue key in the pic - which I have mapped to F24.


You can use the open source graphical keyboard manager application called Vial, which runs on Windows, Linux and Mac, to create keyboard macros or to remap keys. Or masochists can achieve the same thing by modifying the keyboard controller firmware and reflashing the controller. If you pick a standard layout and you don t have any "extra" keys you probably won t need to map the keys.

The main Vial screen is split between a top half that shows the current key map of your keyboard, and a bottom screen that shows available keys that can be mapped - you may have to select one of the tabs on the bottom screen to see the key you want. You remap a key by clicking on the key you want to remap in the top half, and then clicking on the key you want to assign in the bottom half. If you don t see the key you want in the bottom half you can double click the key on the top half and type the key code you want to map to that key.You get no feed back that the change has taken place other than the "current" key selection changing in the top half to some other key. If you want to map to a key that does not appear in the layout in the bottom half you can either click on one of the tabs in the bottom half to see additional keys, or you can double click on the key in the top half and type the key code in the dialog box.   The possible key codes are shown in

https://docs.qmk.fm/keycodes_basic

Be aware that OS/2 does not recognize all the key codes in the list. The version of OS/2 and the version of the USB keyboard driver will determine which keys are recognized. You can use the utility keyscanr.zip from Hobbes to show the scan codes of keys that your version of OS/2 does recognize.

You can see in the Vial layout pic that I mapped the blue key between the right ALT and CTRL to F24.

In OS/2 you have 3 ways of utilizing keys mapped in your keyboard: 1) use an application that recognizes the key, 2) use the ôKeyboard - OEM Keysö object in the System Setup folder to assign actions to the left and right Windows keys and the Windows Menu key, 3) use the Hotkeys feature of ArcaDesktop or XWorkplace to assign any key that ArcaDesktop/xWorkplace recognizes to a WPS object. You assign a key on the Icons page of the object s Properties notebook - for xWorkplace you must enable the hotkey feature first.

The F104 Classic, like many gaming keyboards that use the QMK controller, can have issues with some KVMs. My F104 works correctly with my Trenda NetIO TK-409K KVM, but does not work correctly with my IOGear Dual Display KVMP switch.

The issue for the IOGear KVMP is if the F104 is plugged into the console keyboard port the KVMP will recognize hot keys to switch between computers, but no other key presses - in other words you cannot type on it. If the keyboard is plugged in to a switchable USB port on the KVMP it will work correctly, except that hot key sequences for switching between computers or programming the KVMP will not work. It appears it may be possible to modify and reflash the firmware for the QMK controller to fix this problem. Or you can plug two keyboards into the KVMP: one in the console keyboard for entering hotkey sequences, and the main keyboard in a switchable USB port. I chose the two keyboard option.

For my second keyboard I chose the programmable YMDK YMD09 nine key keypad and created macros for the hot key sequences the IOGear KVMP wants to switch between computers. There are a number of programmable keypads out there but most of them require you download an executable from their website, and some of them warn you that if you are worried about viruses don t buy their product. A refreshing bit of candor. The YMDK uses the QMK controller and the third party keyboard management application VIA to program macros and key layouts. Via is a graphical program similar to Vial - while is it not open source it is widely used and owned by a third party.
