So if you have a mixture of USB 2.0 and 1.x ports, you should have something like: BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS BASEDEV=USBEHCD.SYS Firewire (1394a) is not supported except for one specific chip and then only an alpha driver from many years ago The RJ45 is your NIC port, which will depend upon what network chipset you have - it may have a native OS/2 driver, it may be supported by GenMAC in "official" or "unsupported" mode or it may not be compatible with eComStation at this time. -- Cheers/eCS2.0 Ed Please checkout my podcasts at: http://eComStationAustralia.podbean dot com or via iTunes To subscribe - click this: http://eComStationAustralia.podbean dot com/feed -------------------------------------------------- http://www./melbpc/ - The Melbourne OS/2 SIG === **= Email 3 ==========================** Date: Sat, 26 Jun 2010 10:23:44 +0200 From: Kris Steenhaut Subject: Re: eCS 2.0 GA and USB Alan Duval ha scritto: >> Only one single line is allowed for this one. >> > REM'd out the second line but it made no difference.

It's the one OR the other, depending on your hadware. Given the fact the installer seems to stumble over your system, you might change to "U" in to "O", reboot and evaluate the result.

Not necessarily, I have systems with all three, one variant of them being on a PCI-card.

My MB has an Intel chip and Intel dual core CPU so that's probably the difference. I have reinstalled eCS 2.0 GA a couple of times but with same result. I have checked it's config.sys with that on my installation of eCS 2.0 silver which I have on another removable HDD and they are much the same. I let the installation process check the installation disk and it found no errors so I am at a loss as to why the silver version will see the USB stick but the GA version doesn't. However in saying that I have been having increasing problems copying files to USB sticks with the Silver version and only 1 of 4 now is useful whereas Ubuntu and WIN XP still can use them.
