   Not forever, obviously. But from the point where OS/2 is shutdown until the    
   next reboot.   
   Are you saying that when you do not specify /FS (and you do not power down    
   but instead hit Ctrl-Alt-Del)   
   that you can then use your mouse for example in your BIOS menu ?   
   Normally, an OS that gives up on using the HCs needs to "hand back" the    
   controller to   
   the legacy USB BIOS implementation.   
   I would be interested in how you use the USB mouse/keyboard after shutdown    
   of OS/2.   
   Maybe I can then implement this (also missing) piece.

   Ok. Understood. By the way, it's /S:x where x=1,2,4,8,16,32 with "1"    
   presumably "fastest" and "64" presumably slowest" but I don't really believe    
   that. Are you interested in what those values mean, technically ?
