1.0  Overview
=============

This USBBASIC.EXE driver package provides you with IBM's most current support
for Universal Serial Bus (USB) devices on the OS/2 Operating System.  This
package provides the basic support required for any supported USB device.

1.1  The USBBASIC.EXE file that you received contains the following 6 USB
     files in a self-extracting compressed format.

        -  README.TXT    This file that you are reading
        -  USBBINST.EXE  Executable that installs USB driver support
        -  USBD.SYS      USB Driver
        -  USBHID.SYS    USB Human Interface Driver
        -  USBUHCD.SYS   USB Universal Host Controller Driver
        -  USBUHCD2.SYS  USB Universal Host Controller Driver (additional
                         USB controller driver for IBM DockStation III USB
                         controller


2.0  USB-Basic Installation Instructions
==================================

2.1  To use these USB driver files, you must expand the USBBASIC.EXE file into
     its 6 component files by
        (a.) opening an OS/2 window and
        (b.) typing USBBASIC at the OS/2 command prompt.
     Once the USBBASIC.EXE file is expanded, please continue with the
     USB Installation Instructions.

2.2 At the OS/2 command prompt, type USBBINST. This command will:
    (a.) Save the existing CONFIG.SYS file
    (b.) Add the USB device drivers to hte OS2\BOOT directory on the Boot
         partition.
    (c.) Update the CONFIG.SYS file with the appropriate USB entries.
            BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS
            BASEDEV=USBD.SYS /REQ:USBUHCD$
            BASEDEV=USBHID.SYS

            Where C: is the drive letter of the OS/2 boot partition on your
            system.
    (d.) On IBM 365 systems, update the BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS entry in CONFIG.SYS
         with the /FS parameter. The entry should appear as:
            BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS /FS
    (e.) With use of IBM DockStation III which has an additional USB controller
         the following line must be added to CONFIG.SYS after the USBUHCD.SYS
         parameter line.
            BASEDEV=USBUHCD2.SYS

2.3 This completes the installation procedure. You must now REBOOT you system
    to initialize the USB device driver support.


3.0  USB-Basic Un-Install Instructions
================================

3.1  Copy your original CONFIG.SYS file that you previously backed up to
     the OS/2 boot-partition root directory on your system and overwrite
     the USB-version of CONFIG.SYS that is already in your OS/2
     boot-partition root directory.

3.2  Safely shut down and then re-boot your system in order to re-load the
     original (non-USB) mouse and keyboard drivers properly.
