1. IBM TP560X & USB
Reply to this topic with quote Modify your message
Hello,

I've just finished setting up eCS Prv2 on my old IBM TP560X, and everything works just fine except for USB und PCMCIA/WLAN.

According to the IBM technical specifications the TP560X is equipped with an UHCI USB host controller which is supposed to be compatible with the USB drivers coming with Warp/eCS.

Unfortunately I always receive an error message reading USBUHCD.sys: (Additional) UHCI Compliant USB Host Controller not found.

Using the cw-usb package instead doesn't solve this.

Due to having no floppy drive or docking station available, it's pretty tough setting up or copying anything to/fro the harddrive (I've to take it out of my TP and put it into a PC, so lots of manual labour).

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Martin

It lisits your Thinkpad model with a mini-dock.

Here is a mini-dock for that model Thinkpad.

I had a similar problem with the USB on my A22m. When I connected the port replicator (with a usb port), it saw it. I had installed the latest USB drivers from the eCS member download section.

Have you considrered a port replicator? It might have an usb port.

(search results at eBay using thinkpad 560 port).
There are 18 items/port replicators in the eBay store.

Hi Martin

You want to make sure that USB Legacy (DOS) support is Off/Disabled and USB is On in the TP BIOS.

How many controllers does the system have? - and how many are you trying to load drivers for?

USBcfg may help configure USB drivers to the system requirements http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/system/usbcfgb7a.zip

Regards

Pete

Hi BigWarpGuy,

Thanks!

Seems I have to go for the enhanced port replicator, 'cause it comes with an USB port.

Cheers,
Martin
