   [VOICENWS] Drivers: New USB host control   
   10 May 13 08:15:39   
   
   May 2013 00:17:08 -0400   
   ++ 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, USBD.SYS (and now also: USBRESMG.SYS)   
   I have now placed these on hobbes.   
   http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/incoming/usbhcd191.zip   
      
   They will eventually make it into directory:   
   /pub/os2/system/drivers/misc     
      
   1) USBEHCD: setting speed (/S: switch) back to the default of 8 (if /S:   
   not specified). Unfortunately, a "chkdsk x: /F:3" against a HPFS   
   formatted stick will otherwise lead to problems.   
   Everyone who had problems with USBEHCD.SYS should now either run with   
   /S:8 or not specify /S: switch at all. You can experiment with lower   
   values (/S:4, /S:2, /S:1) to see if that will still work on your system.   
   USBMSD.ADD would need updates in order to be able to queue transmission   
   requests and therefore increase the throughput.   
   Currently it will only issue a transmission once the preceding   
   transmission has finished.   
   Other fixes were made to allow to attach USB mice and keyboard to   
   external USB hubs.     
      
   3) USBD: reset external USB hubs before powering on ports. This should   
   fix some problems where devices plugged into external hubs won't   
   properly attach.     
      
   4) USBRESMG, USBUHCD, USBOHCD: nothing, just increased version number
