Storage / Re: Using a 1 TB USB hard drive
« on: February 05, 2014, 10:06:11 pm »
I agree with Doug. 

I have three computers with two or more 1.5TB drives each in them (all running WSeB CP2).  All of these drives are SATA and I am using the latest Dani driver in each case.  The first drive on each box is internal (one has a second internal drive) and the remainder of the drives are in removable SATA caddies.  I also have several 1TB, 1.5TB and 2TB drives that get slotted into a USB/SATA adapter for use as necessary.

In no case have I had anything than the standard OS2DASD.DMD line in config.sys and, like Doug, all I did for the USB drives was to clear the MBR region with DFSee and use DFSee to make the partitions.  They just work!

I do remember several years ago that we had a client that added a 650GB IDE drive to one of his systems then brought it to us because they were having problems.  All we did was replace the IBM1S506.ADD with DANIS506.ADD.

As far as I know the IDEDASD options only apply to IDE drives and when using the IBM1S506.ADD driver.

Hi Dave,

I was having problems with some web sites and ended up using http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ to find out if they were in fact down or if the problem was somewhere between me and them.

You might try that first and only dig deeper if you have to.  In regards to OS2 World I too have seen a few time-outs but not long later I can connect without problems.  I've put this down to bandwidth problems at the server farm.

Neil, is there any reason that you need NTFS on that drive?  If not then just use DFSee to blank the drive and then create a JFS partition.

I have several 2TB drives that I fitted into SATA/USB drive holders that I formatted as JFS and use to make image backups of our servers - no problems at all with WSeB seeing the full capacity or writing to the drives.

Setup & Installation / Re: USB Keyboard Wedge Device
« on: January 22, 2014, 07:40:51 pm »
From what I have been able to find out it would appear that it needs more software than just the usb keyboard driver .

The keyboard driver is just the interface between the device and the reader software and as far as I know there is no reader software for OS/2 eCS although IBM might have the software for some of their very large OS/2 clients.

The simple way to put the usb keyboard driver into your config.sys is to cut this DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\USBKBD.SYS  and paste it into your config.sys with all the other usb lines.

If you were using OS/2 I would say that you should get a copy of usbres.wpi and usbhcd196.zip from hobbes, install usbres and update usbresmg.sys from the zip, but I understand that eCS has something that replaces usbres and is supposed to do the same job - giving details of attached usb devices.  Because I don't have eCS here I will have to leave that to others to say what it is [see Doug's reply]

Martin, is it possible to delete the second copy of this thread?

More details please, for example;

List the USB statements from your config.sys.
Does HCIMONIT show the same USB controllers as config.sys?
Do you have USB keyboard.sys active or is it like this REM DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\USBKBD.SYS?
What are you using to detect and show your USB devices?

By giving answers to most of those questions we might be able to help resolve your problem.

Programming / Re: Multimac - chipsets requiring support

I use two years old Pasha's unimac, it works with it.
Not sure about OS/4 kernel dependance, he removed it in one of revisions.
Driver can be broken under heavy network load (never seen it, but Pasha seen - when virus occupied office network), and it works only if all USB drivers installed (something with interrupts?).

walking_x, do you have a URL for that driver or could you post it here please?

Andi, that looks very interesting.  Could you say what it is and who the manufacturer is and where can I get specifications and manuals for it?

It would be nice if there was a list of the URLs where all these parts are kept - including the updates.

Martin, you mention ACPI as being almost the prime mover for eCS but I have to ask what good does it do on a desktop computer or a server? 

We are running 2, 4, and 6 core processor desktops and servers using the old os2apic.psd seeing all cores and not seeing any problems while a friend was having problems with his new 4 core desktop and the eCS acpi psd.  When we changed it to the OS/2 psd the problems went away.

Yes, I can see where it might help with a laptop, assuming the suspend/ resume works reliably but I don't see it as the game changing application so mant people make it out to be.

Thanks Paul.  I will give that a try on Monday when I go into work although I seem to remember trying something like that before and getting no response.

Is there any thing special I should be looking for?  Since all the printers are HP CLG 3500 I have your hplip installed with CUPS on my test machine.  Now all I have to do is work out what to do.

Applications / Re: Which are your Favorite OS2-eCS Apps?
« on: December 27, 2013, 11:54:15 pm »
Since you asked for 'apps' - something we don't have on OS/2 (such things appear to be part of the smartphone culture and are usually meaningless bits of code that take up the limited storage space on said phones) - I have listed utilities, that get installed on every instance of OS/2 that I build, and programs that everyone here use.

Utilities:
World Clock
IRQ Monitor
CPU
IP Speed
Iniedit

Programs:
Describe
File Fredom
CoolReader
DFSee
Lucide

Neil, if you can get SAMBA and/or CUPS to print over the network to a NAS based print server that requires a username and password to log in I would love to know the necessary incantations and what must be sacrificed to do so.

So Eugene, what are YOU going to do about it?
