Reply to this topic with quote Modify your message
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...

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.

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..
