Subject:   PCI HOST CARD

Hi All.

Has there been a posting on PCI Host Cards working with eCs-OS/2?

I saw one in the shop the other day, and as I have USB1.2, it seems like
an answer....at least until I saw the wintendo drivers required.

I asked what drivers. The Sales Assistant did not know, but I worked out
that they could mean USB Drivers....maybe rather similar to what I have in
my CONFIG.SYS, as shown here:

REM [USB section
BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBHID.SYS
DEVICE=E:\OS2\BOOT\USBPRT.SYS
REM DEVICE=E:\OS2\BOOT\USBMOUSE.SYS
REM DEVICE=E:\OS2\BOOT\USBKBD.SYS
DEVICE=E:\ECS\BOOT\USBRESMG.SYS
BASEDEV=USBMSD.ADD /FLOPPIES:0 /REMOVABLES:4 /v

Has anybody had success with these cards? Was there major surgery required
to the above entries on order to make it work for eCs-OS/2?

Look forward to, and thanks in advance to your answers.

Regards

NICK

You should be pretty safe with any PCI USB Host card.  I've used one
previously with a Via chipset and no issues.

Hi Nick,

Pardon my ignorance - but I've never encountered a "PCI Host Card" :-)
What is their function?

I am assuming that you mean a USB PCI card.  I have used a Belkin for 
quite a while, and it works fine with eCS.  On my old tower, I also have 
a front panel unit with a couple of USB ports plugged into the back of 
the Belkin.

No ignorance involved <G>. I didn't even know what to call them until I
saw the writing on the card.

If you have USB2.0 you don't need to know. If you have USB1.2 or 1.0.,
these cards slot into a spare PCI port you may have, and you have
(usually) 4 USB Ports (on top of the two you probably already have. But
these new 4 ports will run USB devices up to (so they say) 4 times faster
than USB1.2, which is great for Memory Sticks, and maybe even a USB
Storage Drive.

Here in W.A., at Tandy's, one is available for $49. At our local computer
store, they have an NEC for $35. I've just been kindly offered one for
$15. Can't be bad.

Stay tuned, and we'll see what happens. <G>>

a host card is an interface card
a PCI host card is a PCI interface card

as simple as that

is therm generally used for SCSI or Ethernet adapters and now also USB
adapters

bzt, wrong anwser, don't pass go, don't collect $200

though "Open Host Controller Interface" would refer to USB or FireWire
a USB card can be called USB host adapter, whether is USB 0.1 or 2.2

providing ofcourse the device supports the USB 2 high speed
and, yes, it does make difference;

I recently copied some photos, on my friend's Vaio notebook took about 4
min from one camera, and, somewhat less from second camera, at home, all
photos copied to my PC in under 1 minute

'therm' is sometimes (if seldom) used as an abrevation for 'the term'

Hi Peter.

Go to Hobbes and do a search for "dMSN". That should guide to dMSN Chat.
It's a *.wpi file, and it works for me.

Be aware though, that you have to go to Hotmail and sign yourself up a
mailing address. Then you should be able to use that address
(abcdef at hotmail dot com) as your userid, and the password you create for them
as your password, and that should get you in.

Good luck.
