| Hi folks, does anyone can help me with my USB Zip100 drive? I now have all the latest device drivers and stuff installed, but the drive is simply not recognized. I believe the USB drivers to not function properly. I used the PCI bus sniffer and it says "IRQ10, I/O F300h" for the USB controller. I have the latest USB drivers (from IBM, tried CWUSB as well), LVM update, Dani drivers but nothing works. Please help - any suggestions are welcome. TIA |

| According to Russ Harvey at http://www.russharvey.bc.ca/rhc/os2/remmedia.html you should be using the USBFLPPY.EXE driver with this type of device. |

| After the usbmsd driver, try adding these parameters: /floppies:0 /removables:1 /V This could solve a lot... |

Jonas, thanks for the suggestions - I already tried a lot of variations with these switches including /floppies /fixed_disks and so on but none works. The only changes are drive symbols that either show up in the drives folder or not, but nevertheless none of them works when clicked. Greetings |

Roger, yes, that's what I suspected too but I was unable to locate that USFLPPY drivers up to now... at eCS site / download area I couldn't find it. Just like that DDPak2 BTW... Can you point me to the file(s)? Thanks. |

| Thomas, Assuming you have an external USB zip drive, I've read this at IBM... Removable Disks, Universal Serial Bus (USB) Product Information Bus Type: USB Driver Information This product is supported by IBM. For Technical Assistance, please refer to the following sources: 1. Any README documentation contained within the driver.
The USB Basic Device Support Package is a prerequisite for this device driver. If Base Device Driver FixPak 3 has not been installed, the Enhanced IDE DASD and CDROM Support package must be installed. The most current version of this device driver package is part of the IBM Software Choice offerings. To learn more about IBM Software Choice visit their home page. Download Area and/or Language Package Name The USB Mass Storige driver where IBM is referring to as Software Choice is usbstor.exe... On eCS you will find it via FTP ftp.ecomstation.com/Driver/USB Hope this helps a bit... With kind regards, Henk/2 |

Henk, thanks a lot. Yes, I've got that one too. USBSTOR also includes the TSTUSBC.EXE which I used to verify that the driver loads. Unfortunately, I can't get the drive to become active in *any* way. Right now, I'm wondering whether it might be an USB 2.0 compliant drive... but the 2.0 specification is supported by eCS / OS/2 as well I guess...? Thanks anyway. |

| Thomas, Hmmm... Under Windows it works, so it's not broken for sure ... Could you show us what you have regarding USB in your config.sys. So perhaps it's something in your config.sys ... With kind regards, Henk/2 |

Henk, in the meanwhile I finally was able to dig out USBFLPPY.EXE. Another question arises from the notebook itself: It's a quite older model and I don't know anything about that USB chipset built into... obviously it's a UHCI type (that's what windoze tells me too), but... is it really working properly in OS/2 ? Thank you for your help |
