I bought a Genesyscard reader and it works with eCS only when I connect it after boot..
Because its a build in card reader and gets connected on the main board its realy a problem..
I made myself an on/off switch on it to overcome this problem, but its not great, now a switch sticks out in front and not everyone can do this.
I did read on the USB site more card reader have this boot problem.. when its connected at boot they don't work well..
I tried all switches and many versions of USB drivers (also the CW ones).. nothing works..
If someone has a usefull hint.. I would be very happy:-))

Chris,

What happened if you do a "Refresh removable media"?


With kind regards,

Henk/2

When its connected (on) during boot, refresh does nothing.
When I (re)connect it after boot then refresh works like it suppose to do, but with the newest mass storage driver refresh is no longer needed, I just put in a card and it gets mounted but as I said before, it has to be connected after boot..

I think during boot it does not get recognised as a removable media, because when there is a card in it during boot I can read this card only.. when I reject the drive then its impossable to refresh/remount it again and when I remove the card I get big problems..
When there is no card in it during boot I can do nothing with it, refresh does nothing (/FORCE_TO_REMOVEABLE has no effect also)

Only when its (re)connected after boot all works perfect and even when I remove a card it gets recognised and gives a message of possible data lost..

My enlight card reader does this too, however if I remove the media, put it back in and hit refresh (sometimes a couple of times) it finds it fine.. it just sometimes takes a bit of time.. had this same problem in windows with it however doesn't seem to be OS/2 specific.

For windows it has a CD with drivers and it works.
but windows use a different protocol, I get four extra (floppy?) drives called SD,SM,CF and MS (with drive letters of course), after I put in a card I can open the correct 'floppy'
There is no mounting and unmounting..
I highly prefere the eCS/OS2 protocol mounting only when needed and I don't have to figure out what 'floppy' of 4 to open..

Grts Chris.

The new IBM USB (from ecomstaion (use ftp) or from IBM upgrade protection (unfortunately:-) ) solved this problem!!
And it finds more devices...

PS I was Chrissie (once) but don't remember this password... .
In fact.. I'm not so sure if I stil know the ChrisR pw.. because it never ask.. when my cookies get messed up again... ... I wonder.. ...

I'm in the same position for at least one site. But, one of the changes in Mozilla 1.7b is that the Password Manager can show the passwords.

Chris,
How You do this ?
I have 7in1 Genesys reader (ID:0x0927) and latest IBM USBMD (10.035) - and nothing. USBRES recognize my card reader, but after inserting 256MB SD card nothing happens. Order of reader attaching/card inserting doesn't matter - it simply doesn't work.
Are You using any special switches with USBMSD, or any non standard drivers ?

I made also some tests with CW USBMSD v1.2b. Using it with IBMRSCSI.FLT & /FORCE_TO_REMOVABLE gives possibility to use my SD card but only one card at system up (for reading another card i need reboot system - there is no effect by refresh after card change).

BTW: Is IBMRSCSI.FLT driver required if USBRES reporting "SCSI transparent command set" in DevInfo ?

You need to have USBmon in your startup folder..
The settup should do this for you..
If not you can use refresh media..
This is my config line

BASEDEV=USBMSD.ADD /FLOPPIES:0 /REMOVABLES:2 /FIXED_DISKS:0 /FORCE_TO_REMOVABLE

You need the latest USB from eCS or IBM usbs10135.zip (24-3-04)

With the CW version and older IBM versions you have to reconnect the reader wich is difficult when its build in...

Also I have not any problems with sweex flash stick 128 Mb..
But this one only works with the latest IBM and CW.

Chris,

All drivers are up-to-date. After changing number removables from 1 to 2, SD card become avaliable for r/w. But problem with lack of refresh when card is changed remains. In other words - it looks like my Genensys 7in1 card reader isn't reporting ot OS that card is removed. But why "Refresh removable media" isn't working - I don't understand, (afterall this command is polling device instead waiting for event from device).
I wonder - is it working all ok in Your 6in1 case ?

It works OK..
But it does take a while before I get the popup "drive available"
About 1-2 minuters..
The flash pen is faster.
Maybe refresh is faster also.. I didn't try it yet..

Folks, when you say "latest drivers", can you *please* be more specific, latest is a relative term, absolute terms are far more informative, such as:
Driver version: 10.135
File: USBMSD.EXE
Size: 189123bytes
Source: http://www.os2warp.be/...

People get drivers from many sources & often have to cross-check that their source is what the author is talking about.

usbs10135.zip 81.308 kb
usb10123.zip 100.892 kb

OK?

Chris

Ok, I did figure out some things..
First of all the USBEHCD.SYS makes problems, when you only have only ehcd ports it wont work, I have one ehcd port and 'accidentially' used it it did make a lot of problems so I remmed the USBEHCD.SYS in config.sys.. I still have 7 ports left wich are ohcd..
And on an 'older' PC I have only uhcd and these also work great

Secondly in the /REMOVABLES:4 line you have to put one number higher as you intend to use, it seems the first one is unaccescable, maybe reserved, maybe a bug?
I figured this out with the benchmark program when I wanted to bench my flash drives.. no matter what card/stick I use and what slot I use, it always starts with the second drive.. the first one keeps undefined always..
So with a value of 2, I could only use one flash at the same time, with 3 I can use 2 simultaniously .. ect..

Chris..
