Which version of eCS?  I have eCS 1.2 running under Parallels on my son's 
Macbook Pro.  I haven't tried eCS 2.0 or 2.1.

I know that the iPhone, iPod and iPad are not MSDS

You can set the iPOD in iTunes to be a mass storage device (I would 
expect iPhone as well), so that access direct to the "disk" in the 
device is possible from Windows or OSX but whether this MSD is 
compatible with OS/2 ?

I have one of the little gadgets that allows one to hook almost any 
drive up for USB access.  The largest I have tried is 40 Gb.  Works 
fine, but the drive is an old system drive with full partitioning.

From:  Ed Durrant <edurrant at durrant dot mine dot nu>
Subject:  Re:  hooking Android up?

Answering my own suggestion. Connecting an iPOD set to work in disk mode 
to an eCS 2.0 system, the USB stack sees it and reports it as drive D: 
(in my case), however it does not show up in the drives folder. This 
could be caused by the LVM signature requirement on any USB MSD to work 
with eCS, it also could be that the MSD is not formatted FAT32. Messing 
with either of these is likely to stop the iPOD / iPhone from working, 
so probably not a good idea.

However please remember the iPod / iPhone does not have an internal 
filesystem - each app has to do it's own IO drivers. In the case of 
Android however, it is a true OS with a Linux base and a filesystem so 
where the MSD approach doesn't work on Apple, it "may" work on Android 
systems.

I am awaiting delivery of an Android based phone, so as long as I can 
easily reset it, I may do some tests when it arrives next week.

Hi Chuck, I also have one of these devices, however I do not see its 
significance to connect to an Android phone. This device is to attach a 
physical harddisk (SATA or EIDE) to a USB port.

Ah yes sorry Voytek, perhaps it was Kris in Holland who was involved in 
installing eCS on a MAC? I believe he got it to work natively but with 
the usual problems of no support for WiFi or webcam (of course).

some of the file manager apps have support for SMB, I'll try that, and, I

Tried setting up manual definition for the Warp PC from two file managers, no luck, they don't recognize OS/2

I looked at this when I got my Android but I was worried about the possibly flaky FAT32 or NTFS drivers,
and the read-only status of the SDcard.

As I have wifi at home, I use File Expert on the phone and enable the HTTP Network share. Then I can fire up
Firefox on OS/2, go to the web adddress of the phone (e.g. 192.168.0.3:8080), and then  
add/delete/rename files on the phone from the OS/2 browser, and not have to worry about the 
USB cable.

Peter, 

thanks,i wasn't aware File Expert can do that. Just tried, not sure I have set it up correctly, I'll try again later.

But I just noticed Amazon had as an app of day wifi explorer, it has that function as well.

Peter,

Aaaah, the  old (undocumented) long press trick, got it, great, many thanks!

I still would like to access PC from Android, though, rather than from A

Good suggestion. I hardly ever use TEDIT because its commands aren't
intuitive to me, so I have to look at the help for practically every
file. With a big file the help command gave an "out of memory" error, so
no help available, but it did look as if it was handling the file. (The
line counter wrapped at 65535, but that's not a show-stopper.) After
about the first megabyte, though, it simply said "end of file".
Apparently it loaded as much of the file as could fit in its memory
buffer, and then stopped there without any error message. Parts of the
file beyond that were inaccessible.

While going through that first megabyte of the mail server log I did
notice the server returning a "too many users" message to someone who
was attempting about 50 connections/second. Apparently the dictionary
attackers are now relying on massive paralellism to get through as many
guesses as possible. Of course, this amounts to a denial of service to
the legitimate users.

Thanks for that suggestion. I'm starting a download (the 2008/03/04
version) as I write this. Meanwhile, I've decided to revive my own old
editor project. Whether or not I ever finish it, at least I can get it
working as a viewer.

First impression: looks promising. I haven't yet worked out how to move
to the end of a large file (mine is over 100 MB). Searching for a
timestamp towards the end crashes FTE, and so does a grep, but scrolling
through works. (Although it would take forever that way to find the part
I'm interested in.) Clearly I'll have to read the manual for more detail.
