This week is dedicated to collection of info about compatible/non-compatible dock stations for Thinkpad laptops.

Our database contains 0 records only,

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

It’s easy to attach/detach

Free space on the left and right

http://ecomstation.ru/pic/news/201207/Thinkpad_docking_station_with_T61_laptop-1280.jpg

Let’s collect all information at SCSI/IDE/...-controllers section

http://ecomstation.ru/hardware.php

Does eCS boot with attached dock-station?

What happens if you attach/detach DVD player, COM-port, 2-nd hard drive, etc.

Compatibility with ACPI driver.

Lars Erdmann tells what is the status of USB drivers development.

Status of USB drivers development (2012/summer) -- http://ecomstation.ru/showarticle.php

(English: en.ecomstation.ru)

You can join the project and debug auxiliary drivers.

Or collect examples how to program USB for developers of control applications.

Moreover, it’s time to discuss the future of USB in eComStation.

I have released version 3.20.04 of the ACPI software package.

This version has the following changes:
* Updated to ACPICA version 20120620
* Fixed a bug in APM.ADD related to sleep/wake.
* Fixed a bug in powerdlg.exe
* Cleaned up switch syntax to be consistent.
* Documentation changes.

A description of the ACPI software package is available at:

http://class='extlink'http://svn.netlabs.org/acpi

You can download this new release from your Software Subscription
Services at the Mensys website. Log in to Mensys with your Mensys
login id and click the Downloads link. Click the "Software
Subscription Services for eComStation" Download link and the ACPI
drivers should be listed.

You can report problems at:

EDM/2 is the premier site to find OS/2 and eComStation software development information.

See the link for all the updates to the EDM/2 web site.

Here are some news about the site.

Non-EDM/2 Republished Articles

There are several OS/2 and eComStation programming articles floating

around. When the authors authorize to republish their articles under the

Creative Commons license, it can be included on the wiki and the most

important thing of all, there are clear rules to create derivative

works.

The re-published articles on the EDM/2 wiki are:

Borland C++ v2.0 for OS/2â€Ä by Eric Slaats (September 1996)

OS/2 Device Driver Frequently Asked Questions by Tim Snape (17th Dec 1996)

EDM/2 Republished Articles

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 wiki site.

The old EDM/2 articles that were re-published are:

The Infinitely Floating Spinbutton by Marc Mittelmeijer and Eric Slaats (February 1995)

Building an Editor - Part 1 by Marc Mittelmeijer and Eric Slaats (November 1995)

The Service-Oriented Home Page Primerâ€Ä By Marco J. Shmerykowsky and Sally A. Handley (September 1997)

Links

There is also some non-Creative Commons development related articles/publications that the EDM/2 wiki links to.

This month it had included the following links.

Links to several OS/2 programming articles from OS/2zine (At the right of each category)

Links to several OS/2 programming articles from OS2VOICE (At the right of each category)

Extra updates

Also lately updated:

The OS/2 API Project was updated with a new design. But it stills a lot of work left to have the APIs documented in Creative Commons.

Some of the content of the EDM/2 classic pages had been migrated to the wiki.

I want to thank all the authors that allowed their articles and documentation to be published on the EDM/2 wiki.

Help is always welcome, contact me if you want to help me with the wiki
