The Base Device Drivers are needed by OS/2 to install elementary services, like your hard disk, keyboard, etc. The Base Device Drivers are the first entries from the config.sys file that are loaded during the boot. They are not loaded in the same order as they appear in the config.sys file. They are loaded dependant on their file extension.

If the CONFIG.SYS contains several files with the same extension, those files will be loaded in the order they appear in the CONFIG.SYS file.


If the config.sys contains several files with the same extension, those files will be loaded in the order they appear in the config.sys file.  
The Base Device drivers must be located in the root directory in the \OS2 directory or in the \OS2\BOOT directory. If you set up a Base Device driver in your CONFIG.SYS please use only the name of the driver without the path. The following pages describe these entries:

<b>TIP:</b> By [[Prof. C.W. Fischer]] Physics Department Director CPES Micro-Computer Lab. Users may be interested in a undocumented parameter on the Adaptec AHA154x.add file i.e /DBUFF. Anyone using this SCSI adapter without /DBUFF will loose access to RAM above 16M. It's a Bus mastering problem on ISA (thanks to Steven Levine).

Universal Parameters:
==DSP==
*[[VHDO0437.SYS]] - DSP Driver for MWave


* /ET
==Filters==
Allow embedded targets. This parameter indicates that the ADD should assume that all targets have more than one logical unit (LUN) defined.
*[[ARCIDECD.FLT]] - Arcdrive PCMCIA
* /!ET
*[[ATAPIMO.FLT]]
Do not allow embedded targets (DEFAULT). This parameter indicates that the ADD should assume that all targets have only one logical unit (LUN) defined.
*[[BTSEIDE.FLT]] - Back Again/2 IDE
* /V
*[[CD_BOOT.FLT]] - CD boot filter
Load driver verbosely. This parameter will display the driver name as well as the version number and Adaptec copyright if the driver loads successfully. Information on all targets found in the system will also be displayed.
*[[CDBOOT.FLT]]
* /PCIHW
*[[CHINCDS1.FLT]] - Chinon SCSI CD-ROM
Enables driver to access PCI configuration hardware registers. This switch is implemented because in some PCI systems, accessing PCI configuration space through PCI BIOS function calls causes problems. This switch is enabled by default. New with Version 3.02
*[[CMDATAPI.FLT]]
* /!PCIHW
*[[CTCDRFLT.FLT]] - Cirrus Unite CD Maker
Disables the PCIHW switch. This parameter will cause the driver to access the PCI configuration space through PCI BIOS function calls. New with version 3.02
*[[DANIADSK.FLT]] - IDE Filter
*[[DANIATAPI.FLT]] - IDE Filter
*[[DSKSLEEP.FLT]] - SCSI disk sleep

*[[PIIXIDE.FLT]] - Intel IDE Filter
*[[RSJIDECD.FLT]] - RSJ CD Writer IDE Filter
*[[SCSIOPT.FLT]] - Modifies performance related settings of SCSI devices
*[[SYQUEST.FLT]] - Syquest removable media disk drives
*[[UP2TB.FLT]]
*[[VIACD.FLT]] - VIA IDE CD
*[[VRAID.FLT]] - Software RAID Filter
*[[XDFLOPPY.FLT]] - eXtended disk format


<b>General Unit Parameters:</b>
==Device Manager==
*[[AMD_K86.DMD]] - AMD K6-II
*[[CDSTAPE.DMD]] - Back Again/2 tape
*[[CDSTAP2.DMD]] - Back Again 2000 Tape
*[[DANIDASD.DMD]]
*[[MODISK.DMD]] - Fujitsu MO
*[[OS2ASPI.DMD]] - ASPI device manager
*[[OS2DASD.DMD]]
*[[OS2LVM.DMD]]
*[[OS2PCARD.DMD]]
*[[OS2SCSI.DMD]]
*[[SCSITAPE.DMD]]


* /I
==MISC==
Ignore the specified adapter. This allows another driver to share the adapters that the ADD would normally use.
*[[ATOMBIOS.SYS]] - ATOM BIOS widescreen video modes support.
* /DM
*[[INTLBIOS.SYS]] - Widescreen modes for Intel GMA video adapters
Enable DASD manager support (DEFAULT). This parameter allows OS2DASD.DMD to control the specified target(s) if they are identified as DASD (hard disk) devices.
*[[CPQFCAL.ADD]] - Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter.  
* /!DM
Disable DASD manager support. This parameter prevents OS2DASD.DMD from controlling the specified target(s).
* /SM
Enable SCSI manager support (DEFAULT). This parameter allows OS2SCSI.DMD to control the specified target(s) if they are identified as NON-DASD SCSI devices. All SCSI hard drives will be controlled by OS2DASD.DMD.
* /!SM
Disable SCSI manager support. This parameter prevents OS2SCSI.DMD from controlling the specified target(s).
* /TAG:n  ... n=1-16.
Specifies the maximum number of tagged commands for all target devices on the host adapter (1-16). A value of 1 disables tagged queuing. The maximum number allowed is 16. (The default is 8.)
* /UR
Enables reporting of under runs (DEFAULT).
* /!UR
Disables reporting of under runs.


<b>TIP:</b> If Warp doesn't recognise the AIC7870 Driver add the parameter /A:n n=Number of Controller and /TAG:n n=number of PCI-Slot to AIC7870.ADD. It seems that the version 2.2 of the Adaptec 2940 driver does not work correctly with RSJ, but version 2.11 works fine.

  BASEDEV=Ext2flt.flt parameter
 
Parameters:
 
* /Q
Disable the messages shown at boot up.
 
* /V
Displays some diagnostic information during the boot.
 
* /W
This allows write access to the ext2 partitions.
note: You must also enable the write access at the Ext2-os2.ifs driver.
 
* /A
Virtualize all found partitions. If you use this option, you must also specify the /M option, otherwise OS/2 may crash. The only good reason to use this option is along with the /M option to control the mounting order of all partitions.
 
* /M mount-order
Mounts the partitions in the order specified in the mount-order. The mount-order is a list of numbers separated by commas. To find out which number a partition has, use the program fdisk with the parameter /Query. It shows you a list of all partitions, number the first in the list with 0, the second with 1 and so on, but exclude the Bootmanager partition. The Bootmanager partition is the partition with the FStyp "0a". Type in the partition numbers in the order you like. If you want to hide a partition than you must simply remove the partition number from the mount-order.

Since fixpak 6/35 parameters are:
 
*/rf
(removable to fixed) Together with this parameter it is possible to handle formerly only as 'superfloppy' available removable disks as partitionized disks.
 
*/of
(optical to fixed) Like /rf but for MO (MagnetoOptical) Drives.
 
*/LF
Forces all removable devices to be treated as Large Floppy rather than partitioned media.
 
*/MP
Used to support allocating a predetermined number of drive letters for a partitioned removable media device. Note that this option only applies to partitioned removable devices, and is ignored for any other device type.

Parameters:
 
* /Q
Disable the messages shown at boot up.
 
* /V
Displays some diagnostic information during the boot.

Type in the partition numbers in the order you like. If you want to hide a partition than you must simply remove the partition number from the mount-order.
 
* /P partition types
This option setsa the partition types which should be virtualized. Please do not use any partion types already supported by OS/2!. Here are the partition types:
 
  o 01 FAT12 (supported by OS/2)
  o 02 XENIX_1
  o 03 XENIX_2
  o 04 FAT16 (supported by OS/2)
  o 05 EXTENDED

  o 0F XINT13_EXTENDED
  o 41 PREP
  o 63 UNIX
  o 83 LINUX
 
To make Partfilt.flt virtualize a FAT32 partition you should use /P 0B.
To make Partfilt.flt virtualize a FAT32 and a Linux partition you should use /P 0B,83.

* /IRQ
This parameter change the transmission method from polling to interrupt. The interrupt method is faster but won't work on every system.
The used IRQ depends on the I/O address the LPT-port uses. IRQ 5 is used on LPT ports installed on the I/O address 278, IRQ 7 is used on LPT ports installed on the I/O address 378 or 3BC. To find out the I/O address of a LPT port use the Hardware-Manager.

The Base Device Drivers are needed by OS/2 to install elementary services, like your hard disk, keyboard, etc. The Base Device Drivers are the first entries from the config.sys file that are loaded during the boot. They are not loaded in the same order as they appear in the config.sys file. They are loaded dependent on their file extension.

Here is the order of loading for the file extensions.

  1. *.SYS
  2. *.BID
  3. *.VSD
  4. *.TSD
  5. *.ADD - Adapter Device Driver
  6. *.I13
  7. *.FLT - Filter
  8. *.DMD - Device Manager

If the CONFIG.SYS contains several files with the same extension, those files will be loaded in the order they appear in the CONFIG.SYS file.

The Base Device drivers must be located in the root directory in the \OS2 directory or in the \OS2\BOOT directory. If you set up a Base Device driver in your CONFIG.SYS please use only the name of the driver without the path. The following pages describe these entries:
