| Never tried to connect a IDE disk via USB interface, but guess that the bios is involved as well so might be that your bios has a problem with drives over 80gb, or? /Kim |

| Ok, then it's not a bios problem then; what about smaller drivers connected via USB - would that work out? |

| What is the version of USB on your computer? Do you have the most current version of USB drivers for OS/2? Could you be using 1.1 USB with a 2.0 USB device?

| Which disk drivers are you using? IBMS506.ADD? DaniS506.ADD? |

| You are going the wrong way with this, if there is any problem it is most likely with the USBMSD and not with the IDE drive, a USB MSD is exactly that, a USB MSD.. whatever is internally in the case is irrelevent, it works through USB through MSD and ONLY through MSD. The problem then must be with the MSD driver. If you have a software choice account then you have the ability to create a test case or problem report.. let ibm chew on it.. see what they spit back your way, maybe there is an undocumented feature... but changing any drivers other then the MSD driver or possibly something in the LVM./Drive interface won't matter. it never goes through IDE at all.. so DANI or IBM1s506 won't matter. But it could be like OS2DASD or something like that.. (can't remember the stack drivers off the top of my head) |

| Try this link. Good information, and will probably solve troubles. HDD via USB are possible with the regular IBM drivers, but I recommend you study the reame good; there is a listing of the options in config.sys; and there is stated which drivers are needed to get some drivers working. Possibly you've just forgotten to enable one or more. So two things you can try. Jonas Buys. www.jonasbuys.easynet.be |

I have a HD120GB iomega working ok but...the LVM don't work with it. At begin install USB from Ecs or IBM, with the instrucctions for it, In this page you can found this USB driver: (I use this driver) Unzip the file and copy to c:\os2\boot\ only the files CWusbmsd.* But with this driver you can not use LVM.exe, and neither work the small usb keys 64mb, 128mb etc Well, now you have not LVM.exe, by this you need the DFsee (hobbes), for clean the new disk, and create partitions more small that 64Gb.Because in this case you can format it us HPFS. I can not create one partition with JFS, because I have not LVM Format your partitions and ready, I create two more small partitions, because without it I don't see nothing. But I don't know why.Made your changes and test. Saludos, |
