New USB host controller drivers: usbhcd11.zip (from http://news.warpevents.eu/)

I have updated the USB host controller drivers USBUHCD.SYS, USBOHCD.SYS, USBEHCD.SYS.
I have now placed these on hobbes.
They will eventually make it into directory:
/pub/os2/system/drivers/misc

Search hobbes: http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/h-search.php

I accidentally used the same version numbers as for usbhcd10.zip. Therefore don’t be surprised.

I tried to fix hangs with USBOHCD.SYS on boot.

Mensys acquires SNAP video for OS/2 and eComStation (from http://news.warpevents.eu/)

Mensys B.V. of the Netherlands has acquired the source code and rights to create binary distributions of the SNAP product for OS/2 in an agreement with the company Alt Richmond Inc. of Canada. The SNAP graphics driver provides high performance support for current graphic chipsets on eComStation.

 "The SNAP acquisition fits the Mensys strategy to continue to provide ongoing support for the OS/2 operating system", says Roderick Klein of Mensys B.V. "We believe that in combination with the Panorama video driver technology we will be able to create the best performing generic video driver for eComStation to date. We are delighted that we have been able to acquire this code and are very happy with the cooperation, responsiveness and profesionalism of Alt Richmond."

 

Developers that are interested in helping with the fusion of SNAP and Panorama are welcome to contact Mensys: ecomstation@mensys.nl

New USB host controller drivers: usbxhcd9.zip (from http://news.warpevents.eu/)

Lars Erdmann has updated the USB host controller drivers USBUHCD.SYS,USBOHCD.SYS,USBEHCD.SYS.
They are on hobbes. http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/incoming/usbxhcd9.zip />They will eventually make it into directory:

Lars is currently working on getting isochronous transfers to work for USBEHCD.SYS (USB 2.0): webcams for example ...
There are a lot of changes and fixes since 10.170 (usbxhcd8.zip).

According to Lars this is a joint effort.  Gregg Young will be giving a presentation  at Warpstock in Raleigh, NC later this year on USB drivers:
http://class='extlink'; http://www.warpstock.org 

Please test and report results in the appropriate newsgroups [ http://comp.os.os2.misc ] or  see the readme.txt for Lars email address.

WarpNote (version 1.93) review is up at BlueNexus! (from http://news.warpevents.eu/)

WarpNote (version 1.93) review is up at BlueNexus!

 

Tired of those yellow sticky notes that won’t stick on your monitor? Here come the sticky notes that remain where you put them: On your OS/2 desktop. WarpNote gives you easy access to little yellow windows where you can note down everything you want. The program is simple and easy to use and consumes as little memory as possible. Scripting & birthday-reminders included.

 

WarpNotes offers you an easy way to keep all your thoughts, quick notes, web links, addresses, phone numbers, and other information in one place. Whether you need to create a to-do list, plan daily tasks or organize recipes, WarpNotes finally provides you with everything you need for a fully featured, native eCS application.

 

I found WarpNotes for OS/2 1.93 but it was all but abandoned. It took me sometime to find the author (thanks to some readers) but in a few days, was able to talk to Uwe Mock. Uwe is very nice to allow WarpNote to be freeware after we talked. Donating such a productive program allows everyone to win.

 

This review goes into why I wanted WarpNote not to die a cold death of neglect.
