In my eyes, OS2word's "OS/2 and USB" page(s) has / have an elementary
mistake !

They are discussing and touching the secondary part of USB with OS/2 !!

First needed is the OS/2 USB Basic Pack which is not even mentioned =

on top of the page ...
=2E.. one will find it, written very little about, at the bottom of the
page ;-((

After this mandatory OS/2 for USB Basic Pack one has to add the
particular =

USB drivers needed on the respective system !!!

Meanwhile OS/2 has gotten quite capable with USB too ...
=2E.. unfortunately OS/2 USB support is not provided publicly:
One needs OS/2 SWC or PA subsription ...
=2E.. or an access to the eCS support.

I've been steadily collecting all the various module updates from the
ECS site, as they got released, but had not done much
with them as yet, partly because I did not know it was required. Which
one is the USB stack itself -- USBSTOR ?

O.K., I'll do that. But you did not respond to a couple points: Do we
have to run LVM against whatever drive designation a
particular USB device claims, before we can use it, and does that then
necessarily give rise to the problem Jerry mentioned
at the meeting ? (In the case of media like CF, it becomes usable by
OS/2 only ?)
