IBM Resource Manager is a base device driver. This is the Resource Management Driver for OS/2.

It does the following:

  1. get/set date/time
  2. Read CMOS
  3. Access to Beeper (PC speaker)
  4. Kernel/scheduler synchronization
  5. Some specific service to timer0$

Resource.sys reads the PREVIOUS.DAT file.

Since OS/2 Warp versions it is loaded automatically without an explicit CONFIG.SYS BASEDEV= statement.

The RMINFO.DLL is the DLL file that provides the ring 3 applications from the RESOURCE.SYS driver.

Note
This is one of the critical drivers for the OS/2 Kernel.
