I have again updated the USB host controller drivers USBUHCD.SYS,USBOHCD.SYS,USBEHCD.SYS.
I have now placed these on hobbes.

http://http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/incoming/usbxhcd7.zip

They will eventually make it into directory:

The week is dedicated to collection of info about compatible/non-compatible laser printers (cheap).

Our database contains 281 records only -- http://ecomstation.ru/hardware.php

Major part of the models are not manufactured anymore.

Post new reports using the web-form -- http://ecomstation.ru/hardware.php

Attention! The developers of solutions are interested to know the list of unsupported devices.

 What is the driver? Is it Postscript printer?

This is the 2.0 GA release of the http://data-hovercard='/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=188908277791848'Samba client for eComStation

Samba Client 2.0.0 GA - this revision comes with improved and configurable caching plus an overhauled documentation

http://http://svn.netlabs.org/samba/wiki

"Samba is a free implementation of the CIFS/SMB protocol for Unix, which allows LAN-Server style file and printer sharing among machines running Windows, Mac OS, Unix or eComStation (OS/2)."

Do you have problems with Network (slow, no connection, ..), Audio (hangs, clicks, ..), USB (attached devices are not visible, slow work, etc)?

 Do you use ACPI.PSD driver (check: bootable volume -> config.sys -> psd=acpi.psd)?

Start reanimation of eCS PC from this article:

OpenJDK 6 Alpha for OS/2 and eCS Version 1.6.0 Build 19 Beta 2 (2011-01-12) has been released on the Netlabs FTP server.  Note: This is a beta build intended for testing purposes.

Java for OS/2 and eComStation website: http://svn.netlabs.org/java/wiki

REQUIREMENTS />In order to use this version of OpenJDK, you will need the following:

  - A OS/2 Warp 4 Fixpack 16+, OS/2 Warp 4.5 or eComStation operating system.
  - Odin32 library version 0.6.21558 (2011-01-12) or above:
    ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/odin/odin32bin-20110112-release.wpi

Please read the readme.os2 carefully.  One listed problem is that OpenJDK will not work correctly under the OS/2 SMP kernel because of a current Odin32 issue.

Download:

JRE: http://ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/java/openjdk6_b19_jre_os2_beta2-20110112.zip

SDK: ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/java/openjdk6_b19_sdk_os2_beta2-20110112.zip

eCo Market (http://ecomstation.ru/ecomarket) is an initiative of eCo Software: "The users need tools, they want to see the list of available applications not tales about powerful operating systems. That’s why we are working on the GUI catalogue aimed to deliver software to users fast."

Total quantity of packages: 100

Let’s collect emulators and virtual machines in the catalogue.

Currently we have 2 programs only: Commodore64 emulator and VirtualBox 1.6.1 (packed to warpin).

Message for developers: if you updat warpin-package of your program then follow the recommendation: Version - it’s a datestamp: YYYY\MM\DD, Example: PACKAGEID="eCo Software\Runtime\Base\2008\03\02" (so we can automate control of application packages).

How to support the project? http://ecomstation.ru/projects/ecomarket/

P.S. Yes, we are working on new GUI.
