We are gathering information which drivers or control applications do you use with your USB devices.
Attach flash-disk to PC, run USBRES.EXE (Programs->Utilities->USB Resource manager), open detailed report (right mouse button),
- find VendorID, ProductID, Device Release;
- remember the name of device (it is written on device or box);
- find the class of device in Interface x: Class, SubClass, Protocol
- which driver of control application do you use with the USB-device? (URL)
- inform us if USBRES crashed;
Attach other USB devices and collect the same information.
Gather ID, name of device and driver, pack to .ziqq (zip) and send all report to e-mail: support at ecomstation dot

Please pay attention to our new products for eComStation!
The fall is dedicated to creation of end-user applications based on modules and libraries prepared during 2006.
Updated ACPI drivers
As you know, eComStation has modern ACPI subsystem now. ACPI offers new opportunities to developers and makes developers update their device drivers.
Usually users need two auxiliary drivers:
APM.ADD 1.5 (requires ACPI 2.12) - Power management for notebooks and desktops
- fixed throttling (for SMP only), fixed semaphore event, fixed power detect
- AcpiDaemon is improved
- Read tester.doc to test the driver; read troubleshooting.doc to solve troubles
ACPI snooper (requires ACPI 2.12)
- The snooper is aimed to manage IRQs, setup ACPI virtual machine on start.
- Read tester.doc to test the driver; read troubleshooting.doc to solve troubles
- Don't remove all snoopers from snoop.lst (keep acpisnp.snp and ibmkbd.snp) else Enable full hardware detect is ignored.
Note: If you are developing a program to control UPS devices, you can integrate it into eComStation power management subsystem.
New versions of eSchemes
New beta-versions of eSchemes are released often. Current version: 1.35
New product! eSchemes Deluxe
Screenshot of eSchemes Deluxe
Internet utilities
Disk utilities
- Please, don't use JFS filesystem with old harddisks. New bad sectors may cause loss of data;
- Use UPS to protect against power leaps;
- Don't fill JFS volume completely. Always keep freespace (10% of total volume size);
If you don't follow this simple instructions then purchase JUne - utility to rescue/undelete data from JFS volumes.
Office applications
Personal Cards Manager, new beta-version - it's not only address book but the only application to bring photos of your friends and relatives to desktop.
Screenshot of Personal Cards Manager
Students support
To create unique technologies and software, we should attract more students and engineers to eComStation.
- gDiagramm v0.07 builds graphs from CVS-file (2Gb, 50 millions of lines)
- Do you have self-made applications for students (computer science, mathematical, chemical)? We are interested gather this files.
eCo Software support service
Collaboration with other developers
- Robert Lalla created very useful addon to ACPI snooper. His driver removes Exclusive flag from High IRQs. In result, we have more happy users with working SMP notebooks and desktops.
- Dmitry Frolov continues to release USBCALLS updates. Visit the homepage of froloff.
- Do you need widescreen modes on ATI X1600 videoadapter? Robert Lalla created a driver to activate this modes. Contact us and join the testing!

eComStation users like to travel and there are 3 conferences in 2006.
Which conference do you prefer? Warpstock Czech (Decin), Warpstock USA (Windsor), Warpstock Europe (Koln)? Warpstock is the best place to share OS/2 knowledge and news. You can see IBM'ers, many students and professional developers there.

eComStation users and developers are working like one large corporation. To achieve common success everyone should work well on own place and demand the same from "neighbouring" users and developers.
The july and august were dedicated to development of drivers and WPS applications. Many utilities was updated.
Updated ACPI drivers
- Notes for ACPI testers:
- (Temporary restriction): If ACPI driver was working fine for some monthes but doesn't boot anymore than you should remove dust from your PC (the problem happens because of high load on CPU when ACPI starts to work; will be fixed in the future)
- Auxiliary drivers for ACPI users are separated to acpi-drivers.zip (PSCOM.SYS, RESOURCE.SYS)
- Please, pay attention to new installation instructions.
- New ACPI snooper v.2.11 (requires ACPI.PSD 2.11)
- Start acpi from snooper
- Get ACPI table from file
- Change IRQ for PIC via ACPI link
- Remap IRQ for APIC
- You can run SATA harddisks on SMP machines in APIC mode, make modern notebook to work stable with eComStation, etc.
- ACPI Manager is updated (Download it if using ACPI snooper)
- APM.ADD is updated (Power management driver; requires ACPI.PSD 2.11) is under construction. Current task is complete resume after sleep.
JFS news
- IBM released an update of JFS.IFS few weeks ago. Don't install it if using JFS.IFS for eComStation.
- Join testing of ALVM - Logical volume manager compatible with LVM
- New JRescuer is released - utility to save files from damaged JFS volume. It is able work with image of volume now!
Internet utilities
