   ++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service   http://www.os2voice.org ++    
      
   From: lars.erdmannDESPAM@DESPAMarcor.de   
      
   I have updated the USB host controller drivers   
   USBUHCD.SYS,USBOHCD.SYS,USBEHCD.SYS   
   I have now placed these on hobbes.   
   They will eventually make it into directory:   
   /pub/os2/system/drivers/misc     
      
   I worked heavily on suspend/resume for all: UHCI/OHCI/EHCI.     
      
   For UHCI I found some very nasty bugs where I was reading from some bogus   
   register address (an oversight from my part). That could have about any   
   strange effect. For all those that have hard hangs (one person reported 4 UHCI   
   controllers would work fine but the 5th would completely hang his system) just   
   try out this version and see if it helps. Same holds true for EHCI where I   
   forgot to properly initialize the retry loop counter on some register polling   
   loops. Again, that could have any strange effect.     
      
   The included USBD.SYS is experimental. Give it a try anyway, in particular if   
   you want suspend/resume to work smoothly. As always, back up the original IBM   
   driver in case something goes wrong. Report results.     
      
   You CAN use the HC drivers with the USBD.SYS IBM version but better not mix   
   different versions of the HC drivers.     
      
   Please try the drivers with and without the /FS flag and report results. If   
   the /FS flag turns out to be the better choice I might consider making it the   
   default and therefore to render the flag superfluous.     
      
   I would like to thank all those people who have reported bugs, in particular   
   those people who where patient enough to wait for the solution. If I don't get   
   many bug reports in the next couple of weeks, I will consider this version   
   stable enough for eComStation to add to their installation CD-ROM update   
   (together with the updated ACPI.PSD). Therefore the update rate will go down   
   ...
