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.
