The general secret - buy new hard drive.

If you have free hard drive then you can immediately install the system to it.

And attach your old harddrive as secondary and get data from it step by step.

What is the state of your computer after N years?

* old eCS 1.x

* trash on desktop, unnecessary WPS classes, trash after accidents.

* documents in different corners of the disk

* old versions of applications (major part)

* unnecessary dll files

What is the goal of the user:

* Install new eCS 2.1

* Switch to new fresh hard drive / new computer

* collect all useful data from old eCS PC

* restore all applications which he was using in the past

More information about eComStation 2.1:

* Whatsnew -- http://ecomstation.ru/ecs-rus/

I am not sure what happened but somehow a SPAM message I thought I deleted was sent out over the VOICE News list.  Please ignore the post without a subject.  Sorry for any inconvenience.

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

Our database contains 305 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?

Do you use CUPS driver? http://svn.netlabs.org/ecups/wiki/HowTo>

Die warpevents.eu Steering Group sucht Nachfolger. Zwei der vier Mitglieder haben die Gruppe verlassen. Da die verbleibenden stark eingespannt sind, kann die Gruppe derzeit nicht ihren Pflichten nachkommen.

Die warpevents.eu Steering Group ist ein Lenkungsausschuß mit in der Ausrichtung von Veranstaltungen erfahrenen Mitgliedern und dem Ziel, die Ausrichtung von Veranstaltungen mit Bezug zu OS/2 und eComStation zu sichern. Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen, werden sowohl die Bedürfnisse der Öffentlichkeit als auch der Organisatoren angesprochen, indem die Öffentlichkeit mit Informationen versorgt wird, potentiellen Organisatoren Auskunft und Rat erteilt wird und Veranstaltungs-Teams beraten und unterstützt werden.

Möchten Sie dabei helfen sicherzustellen, dass Veranstaltungen mit Bezug zu eComStation und OS/2 stattfinden? Dann nehmen Sie zu uns Kontakt unter http://title='Öffnet ein Fenster zum Versenden der E-Mail' class='mail' steeringgroup(at)warpevents.eu auf. Voraussetzungen sind organisatorische Fähigkeiten, Verlässlichkeit und Teamfähigkeit. Idealerweise haben Sie bereits selbst Veranstaltungen organisiert.

I have updated the USB host controller drivers
USBUHCD.SYS, USBOHCD.SYS, USBEHCD.SYS, USBD.SYS
I have now placed these on hobbes.
http://http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/incoming/usbhcd183.zip />
They will eventually make it into directory:
/pub/os2/system/drivers/misc

a.) USBEHCD.SYS: changes in resetting the HC on system boot / HC reset
b.) IMPORTANT: changes to USBD.SYS. version 10.162 has a fundamental design
flaw that prevents it from handling devices that return configuration data >
1024 bytes. In practice, many USB 2.0 web cams have > 1024 bytes of
configuration data.
As a first step, I had to change the USBD interface towards client drivers
(something like usbprt.sys, usbmouse.sys, usbser.sys etc.) .
There might be client drivers around that act as filter drivers and these
can be affected.
It is possible that these will subsequently trap this updated USBD.SYS. If
this happens, I would be interested to know.
I still haven’t updated USBD.SYS to support > 1024 bytes of config data
(this will be the next step) but I have added some code to prevent
the traps that used to happen with USBD.SYS 10.162 when you’d attach such
web cam device with > 1024 bytes of config data.
In any case, USBD.SYS is still experimental.

Important note: make sure that USBEHCD.SYS goes after
USBUHCD.SYS/USBOHCD.SYS in config.sys !
I have not yet succeeded in coming up with a solution that would render
config.sys sequence irrelevant.

Version 1.22 of the AHCI driver for eComStation is now on the eCS Betazone for Software Subscription Services members. The Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) is a technical standard defined by Intel that specifies the operation of Serial ATA (SATA) host bus adapters in a non-implementation specific manner.

This version supports NCQ and has improved performance. Please refer to the readme document for details.

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

http://http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/incoming/usbhcd182.zip

/>They will eventually make it into directory:
/pub/os2/system/drivers/misc

a.) changes to USBEHCD.SYS to make it work with Intel ICH6 controllers.
Maybe it also helps with later ICHx controllers.
b.) changes to USBUHCD.SYS for the same reason
c.) minor changes to USBOHCD.SYS
d.) IMPORTANT: changes to USBD.SYS. version 10.162 has a fundamental design
flaw that prevents it from handling devices that return configuration data >
1024 bytes. In practice, many USB 2.0 web cams have > 1024 bytes of
configuration data.

Hello.

I want to share the little updates made to EDM/2 on the last months.

After updating the design and organizing the articles category I had included the following:

1) Reposted other articles and material:

Roger Orr allowed their articles to be released as Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 .

Extending OS/2 batch files - Part 1 October 1996)

Extending OS/2 batch files - Part 2 (December 1996)

Using Multimedia OS/2 for sound (August 1995)

Using a DLL for a PM hook (May 1995)

Programming the OS/2 Switch List (December 1994)

Calling C functions from Rexx (July 1994)

Using REXX as a macro language (December 1994)

A personal look at the OS/2 API (December 1993)

Exception Management - or coping with bugs (August 1993)

Extended Attributes - what are they and how can you use them ? (May 1993)

Introduction to IOPL programming (December 1992)

Writing your own PSTAT (August 1992)

Programming direct OS/2 Disk I/O (April 1992)

OS/2 Procedures Language - REXX (December 1991)

Using the OS/2 debugging interface to monitor the system (August 1991)

Drawing your own listboxes (April 1991)

OS/2 signal handling (December 1990)

OS/2 initialisation - making it work for you (August 1990)

Hints for writing simple programs for both OS/2 and DOS (April 1990)

Also Les Bell allowed his material to be released as Creative Commons, so I had included links to his material.

I had also includes some links to WarpStock OS/2-eCS development related presentations on each category of the wiki.

2) Republishing Permission

Since we are changing to a Wiki format, republishing permission allowing derivative work for the articles has to be requested. There had been good response from part of the Authors that I was able to contact. Several authors (all that I was able to contact) accepted that his articles were republished under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 license to me migrated to the article.

I want to thanks:

Scott Garfinkle

Perry Newhook

Björn Fahller

Chris Palchak

Gordon Zeglinski

Carsten Whimster

Sergey I. Yevtushenko

Timur Tabi

Paul Floyd

Alger Pike

Joe Wyatt

Eric Slaats

Dave Raymer

Andre Asselin

Steve Lacy

David Charlap

Marco J. Shmerykowsky PE

Patrick Mueller

Chris Matthews

Julien Pierre

Gavin Baker

Semir Patel

Some of their articles had been migrated to the wiki (the originals still remains was static web pages) and some other articles are on the pipeline to be migrated.

There is more work to do on the Wiki, more information need to be included in Tools are, and Iâ€Öm looking forward for more development articles that can be created or reposted on EDM/2.

Any help is welcome, please contact me.
