Hi all,
I am totally frustrated on USB with OS/2! (Crossposting on OS/2 groups 
due to total frustration.)

I have very little USB (crap) on my system but I bought a USB 128 Mb MP3 
Player for $10 and then recently a friend gave me 2 brand new USB 128 Mb 
thumb drives to play with. I have tried EVERYTHING to get them working 
in OS/2. The eCS 1.1 (OS/2 Warp 4.5 kernel 14.103.O or P or something) 
USB manager sees them, there are drive letters (K floppy not needed and 
O removable 120 Mb obvious) and then "not a valid drive number"
or "not 
formatted correctly" errors when I try to access them. I have tried LVM, 
it sees the partitions (??) but not separate drives. I try to set them 
up in LVM and it only gives me hard drives as options, not partitions. 
So I have tried them as FAT32 (with drivers installed in OS/2) and 
reformatted in WinXP (which of course works fine) as straight FAT. eCS 
can't see any of them.

So I go out to find info and, as with OS/2 networking, there is no "fine 
manual" to RTFM, there is no FAQ, there is NO INFO on USB in Google. So 
where does one go to find out how to get USB FUNCTIONAL with such a 
simple thing as a 128 Mb thumb drive?

This is my config.sys USB section (I have tried various combinations of 
the IBM and CW drivers REMed & unREMed with no success with a 4+ minute 
reboot each time):

rem **USB**
rem Chris' Stuff
BASEDEV=CWUSBUHC.SYS /V
BASEDEV=CWUSBD.SYS /V
BASEDEV=CWUSBMSD.ADD /V /FLOPPIES:0 /REMOVABLES:1 /FIXED_DISKS:0 
/FORCE_TO_REMOVABLE
rem IBM drivers
BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS /V
BASEDEV=USBD.SYS /V
BASEDEV=USBHID.SYS /V
BASEDEV=USBMSD.ADD /FLOPPIES:1 /REMOVABLES:1  /REMOVABLE_AS_FLOPPY
REM BASEDEV=USBCDROM.ADD
REM DEVICE=M:\OS2\BOOT\USBKBD.SYS
REM DEVICE=M:\OS2\BOOT\USBMOUSE.SYS
REM DEVICE=M:\OS2\BOOT\USBCOM.SYS
DEVICE=M:\OS2\BOOT\USBPRT.SYS
DEVICE=M:\OS2\BOOT\USBRESMG.SYS

I only need USB for 3 things: My 128 thumb drives, my 128 MP3 player and 
my USB scanner; none of them work with the installed drivers. WHAT do I 
need and does ANYONE have instructions online to help people?? (I tried 
google first of course). BTW, 3 versions of Windows, 5 versions of Linux 
and BeOS can see & use these items. What the heck is wrong here in OS/2?

Gigabyte 7VKML MB & VIA USB 1.1/2.0 4 port chipset recognized in OS/2...

Thanks & sincerely,
WarpDavey
