1.0 Overview
=============
This USB.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 support for USB mouse and USB keyboard devices.
1.1 The USB.EXE file that you received contains the following 8 USB
files in a self-extracting compressed format.
- IBMKBD.SYS Revised Keyboard driver with USB support
- MOUSE.SYS Revised Mouse device driver with USB support
- README.TXT This file that you are reading
- USBD.SYS USB Driver
- USBHID.SYS USB Human Interface Driver
- USBKBD.SYS USB Client Keyboard Driver
- USBMOUSE.SYS USB Client Mouse Driver
- USBUHCD.SYS USB Universal Host Controller Driver
1.2 To use these USB driver files, you must expand the USB.EXE file into
its 8 component files by (a.) opening an OS/2 window and (b.) typing
USB at the OS/2 command prompt. Once the USB.EXE file is expanded,
please continue with the USB Installation Instructions.
2.0 USB Installation Instructions
==================================
The MOUSE.SYS and IBMKBD.SYS files in this driver package fully support
both USB-attached mice/keyboards and all legacy (non-USB) keyboards/mice
previously supported by the OS/2 Operating System.
However, as a standard safeguard, we recommend that you backup your
existing CONFIG.SYS from your OS/2 boot partition root directory and
your existing MOUSE.SYS and IBMKBD.SYS files from your OS2\BOOT
subdirectory prior to installing the USB support. This will allow you
the option to "Un-Install" the USB support, should you deem it necessary.
2.1 Copy the following files to the OS2\BOOT subdirectory on your system
USBUHCD.SYS
USBD.SYS
USBHID.SYS
USBMOUSE.SYS
USBKBD.SYS
MOUSE.SYS
IBMKBD.SYS
2.2 Using an editing program of your choice (i.e., the OS/2 System Editor),
add the following lines EXACTLY AS SHOWN and IN THE ORDER LISTED at
the end of your system's current CONFIG.SYS file.
BASEDEV=usbuhcd.sys
BASEDEV=usbd.sys /REQ:USBUHCD$
BASEDEV=usbhid.sys
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\USBKBD.SYS
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\USBMOUSE.SYS
Where C: is the drive letter of the OS/2 boot partition on your system.
2.3 Save your modified CONFIG.SYS file.
2.4 Safely shut down and then re-boot your system in order to load the USB
drivers properly.
3.0 USB 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 Copy the original MOUSE.SYS and IBMKBD.SYS files that you previously
backed up to the OS2\BOOT subdirectory on your system and overwrite
the USB-version of the MOUSE.SYS and IBMKBD.SYS files already in the
OS2\BOOT subdirectory.
3.3 Safely shut down and then re-boot your system in order to re-load the
original (non-USB) mouse and keyboard drivers properly.
