| Is there anybody out there that has experimented with this? |

| It might work, since the driver model of OS/2 hasn't been changed since Warp 2.0. TRy it out. |

| I have tried it; BIOS will recognize a travel drive, but I cannot access the drive using OS2. I assume I need a driver to do so? |

| Working with Warp 3, I've found that some of the newer USB drivers from IBM won't work with the Warp 3 kernel, but the older drivers, and the CW-USB drivers work. I'd suggest these would be the best bet. |

| Thanks for your reply!! I will try WARP and see if I can get it to work, but I have to stay with OS2 2.11 for now for the sake of continuity of the project. This is a Combustion Turbine control application, so I cannot switch operating systems until I thoroughly test; my gut is Warp will work and as soon as I have replaced all the Multi-bus 386 processors with Pentiums I will try it. |

| Well, I'd try it with OS/2 2.11 then, there is a chance things may work. Given the need to stick with 2.11, my best suggestion is to try the CW-USB drivers at: http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?key=cw-usb&pushbutton=Search Also, for myself I've had very limited success getting the "USBD.SYS" or "CWUSBD.SYS" driver to properly recognize mass storage devices. There is a modified version of USBD in the MMPORTV1.ZIP file, available at: http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?sh=1&button=Search&key=mmportv1&stype=all&sort=type&dir=%2F While things may be different, here's what makes it all work in my config.sys: rem working USB stuff Of course, depending on your chipset, the first line could call the CWUSBUHC.SYS driver. And the USBD.SYS came from the MMPORTV1.ZIP file. I think it also needs to have the lastest OS2DASD.DMD driver to work, but I'm not sure on this. Hope this helps. |
