FOSS for OS/2: Keeping the flame alive

2006-02-17 15:33:55 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [www.os2world.com]

NewsForge has published an article about OS2 with focus on the open source projects going on within the OS2 community by Bruce Byfield.

After a decade of neglect and increasingly reluctant support from IBM, the manufacturer, the OS/2 community persists. Where users of GNU/Linux or FreeBSD have turned to free and open source software (FOSS) for political and philosophical freedom and software quality, the surviving OS/2 community has been turning to FOSS as a means of defending members' right to use the operating system of their choice. The result is a small but surprisingly diverse collection of projects that, to a GNU/Linux user, is a mixture of the familiar and exotic.

The full article can be found here

An equal member of the community

2006-01-30 02:15:43 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [ecomstation.ru]

People select an operating system by software which runs in it. More applications - more users are using the OS.

If you are interested in the development of eComStation, write more applications for it.

One more important task is writing of software reviews. Every new review attracts news users and causes new sellings of product (necessary condition for release of new versions)

For example, you can write an overview of:

  • Maul Publisher
  • Serenity Virtual Station
  • PMDownloader
  • InJoy Firewall
  • Weasel
  • Pixel
  • NetDrive
  • PMView
  • Personal Cards Manager
  • PMVNC
  • T&V HappyPlayer, CoolFM
  • ..

Update of important drivers

2006-01-23 21:44:36 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [ecomstation.ru]

ACPI for eComStation is updated:

  • Using the latest source from Intel
  • Expand support embedded controller
  • added some code for C1/C2/C3 state
  • added some code for CPU perfomance state

The ACPI driver is a part of future eComStation 2.0. It is available for eComStation subscibers today. Login to beta-zone via mensys.nl

USB drivers are available at www.ecomstation.com

IBM has updated USB drivers for us (USB basic drivers, USB Keyboard and USB Mass Storage Device drivers dated 12-21-2005).

Notes:

In the usb10162.zip zipfile a new USBD.SYS is included. This version might solve some problems with some MSD devices that don't even show up on the USB bus under OS/2,

The ZIP file usbs10162.zip contains a new USBMSD.ADD

There are 2 new switches:

/CHS       Driver calculates and adds Cylinder/Heads/Sectors values to
           device geometry. This key helps to support USB drives
           with capacity more than 40GB for systems with os2dasd driver
           without 512GB support and for non-lvm systems.

This might also be interesting for people who have difficult with partition table errors (minilvm). Thats just a gues on my side, its worth a try.

/MS10_OFF  Driver avoids of using ModeSense10 command for geometry detection.

Sometimes people received traps in OS2DASD. This might prevent that.
