Subject: [os2genau] New OS/2 Device drivers ??

If you check out the IBM device drivers web page:

http://service5.boulder.ibm dot com/2bcprod.nsf/

You'll find lots of device driver sections and individual
device drivers are marked as "updated" - the ones I
have looked at say they were updated on the 6th. April !

But before we all go jumping for joy that that particularly
troublesome device might now work with new drivers, I 
suspect many devices are marked "updated" as the page 
has been amended to take you to the Software Choice
site to pick up the drivers, and guess what - you need
a subscription and userid/password to get access. As I say
this was my experience, with "new" USB drivers (reading
elsewhere apparently only Intel and VIA chipsets work
(sometimes) with the OS/2 drivers - so these new drivers
will probably not help mt SIS chipset equipped PC).

Has anyone else found the same, or are some device drivers
actually updated and accessible ??

has anyone tried the supposedly updated USB drivers? I'd
love to hear that they now work with VIA chipsets!
