1. OHCI and USB?
Reply to this topic with quote Modify your message
I am trying to find a PCI card that has UHCI. Every card I have seen (I have bought three) seems to have the OHCI chipset. The OS/2 drivers for USB suppose to work only with UHCI. I bought a couple of cards that was suppose to have the VIA chipset which is UHCI. When I got them, they had a different chipset with OHCI. Do they still make an USB PCI card that has VIA/UHCI? Are these companies leaving UHCI for OHCI? Is it the 'sequel' to it?

I have been told that the OHCI chipset USB driver for OS/2 being developed by IBM has been delayed. The fact that they are working on it is encouraging.

PS It would be nice if I could download the single driver without having to buy a subscription.

I have been told that the OHCI drivers for OS/2 and USB have been recently released. It seems to be available only through a subscription to Software Choice.

PS I have been asking IBM if it would be possible to get a single download for a small fee. It will take me awhile to save up for the subscription and I will probably not be able to use most of the drivers.

I have found the source code for OHCI for Linux. It is located at http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-usb and at http://www.linux-usb.org. I have read where other programs were ported to OS/2 from Linux. I do not know if this can be done. It might be cheaper and/or easier than buying a software choice subscription.
