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.

==CWUSB==
===CWUSBD.SYS===
Basic USB driver by Chris Wohlgemuth, based on the sources available on the DDK site. It does not have the feature set of the latest IBM driver downloadable with software choice. If you already have a (maybe better) working driver from there feel free to use that one.
BASEDEV=CWUSBD.SYS
 
'''Parameter:'''
 
* /V
Verbose, show some information while booting.
 
* /I13
parameter could be used to delay USB host overtaking by USB driver stack until other device driver finishes required initialization operations and then send request to USBD driver to start USB service. It could be used to boot from USB floppy drive.
 
* /REQ
This parameter controlls USBD driver initialization: driver at initalization time checks for listed host controller drivers and fails to install if none of listed drivers is loaded. Current version of USB stack supports the following parameter codings:
 
* /REQ:USBUHCD$
* /REQ:CWUSBUHC$ USBD driver is loaded only if UHCI compliant host driver is loaded
 
* /REQ:USBOHCD$
* /REQ:CWUSBOHC$ USBD driver is loaded only if OHCI compliant host driver is loaded
 
* /REQ:USBUHCD$,USBOHCD$,CWUSBOHC$,CWUSBUHC$
USBD driver is loaded only if one of OHCI/UHCI compliant host drivers is loaded. This most general form of parameter and must be used in
most cases.

===IBM1FLPY.ADD===
Installs support for diskette drives. Use this driver for PCs with PCI or ISA bussystems. See the Tips and Tricks section for more information. Supports diskette drives on non-Micro Channel PC's.
BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD <parameters>
 
'''TIP:''' If you wish to prevent users from using the floppy drives under OS/2 (to keep them from loading non-authorised programs or in a workstation situation), REM the BASEDEV=IBMxFLPY.ADD line (where x is 1 for ISA and EISA machines, or 2 for Microchannel).
 
'''NOTE:''' In Warp, the install program may have placed both IBM1FLPY.ADD and IBM2FLPY.ADD BASEDEV drivers in your config.sys. Remove IBM2FLPY.ADD if you don't have a Micro Channel PC.
 
The correct setting for e.g. a IBM Thinkpad 560 with external floppy disk is (see the Warp Reference book for a detailed description):
BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD /A:0 /FORCE:2 /U:0 /F:1.44MB /U:1 /F:1.44MB
 
Using the /DAPM Parameter (which disables the Power Managment) may also help on some Notebooks (e.g. Thinkpad 600) who can't find the Floppy.

'''Parameter:'''
 
* /NONE
Assumes a keyboard is installed even if a keyboard is not attached. Starts OS/2 even when no keyboard is attached. Useful for unsupervised operation.
 
* /NUMON
Turns the numeric keys on your keyboard on. This switch works only on some configuratins, it depends on what a keyboard you have and what Codepage you use.
 
* /NUMOFF
Turns the numeric keys on your keyboard off.
 
'''TIP:''' For the mostly sold so called 'Win95-Keyboards' (how ironic, as with windows9x you can only loose) there are two replacement drivers: One by [[Robert Muchsel]] (muchsel@acm.org), Release is Ver 2.00 available under winkey02.zip, and a newer one available at: http://os2.avi.kiev.ua/ Release is ver.021
 
'''TIP:''' By [[Kovacs Istvan]]: If you try BASEDEV=IMBKBD.SYS /NUMON numlock could turned on like with the utility 'jshifter'. Works only with some releases of the IBMKBD.SYS delivered with Warp. According to the mails I've got it seems that the parameter doesn't work on nearly most keyboards, (but one some) so you have still to use 'jshifter' available at: http://www.gbar.dtu.dk/~c948129, or 'numlock' by [[Peter Engels]] available at http://www.uni-bonn.de/~uzs0ad.
 
'''TIP:''' If you prefer a so called Dvorak keyboard layout (a keyboard which tends to arrange the characters more ergonomic than the qwerty type - which was a need when constructing mechanical typewriters at the end of the 19.th century - since Fixpak 8 for Warp 4 (maybe earlier, but this was the first time I was aware of its existance) go to your keyboard settings in the System Setup folder and simply select Dvorak (for left and righthanded !, but only in English). Now you only need a keyboard with a Dvorak layout (or one of these old but beautiful IBM keyboards with a 'klick' and 'solid as a rock', here you can pull the caps and place em where you want). This is another new goodie in OS/2 IBM never speaks of.

===PRINT01.SYS===
Provides support for your parallel ports LPT1, LPT2 and LPT3 on PCs with ISA or PCI buses.
BASEDEV=PRINT01.SYS <parameter>
 
'''WARP TIP:''' With Warp, the default transmission protocol used by PRINTO1.SYS and PRINTO2.SYS is the polling transmission method. The protocol used by previous versions of OS/2 was the interrupt transmission method. In Warp, you can change back to the interrupt method by adding the /IRQ parameter.
 
'''TIP:''' From Paul Kurr: "Since I'm running on a LAN at work here, I have no need for direct printer support of any kind since this is taken care of by my NOS (LAN Server). So I have REM'd BASEVEV=PRINT01.SYS to save some RAM."
 
Beginning with V. 10.049 PCI Add-On Cards are supported and beginning with 10.068 Combo Cards.
 
'''Parameter:'''
 
* /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.
 
* /SHR
This parameter in conjunction with /IRQ parameter directs the PP DD to service PCI IRQs as shared.
 
'''NOTE:''' If your printer (for example, old dot matrix printer) generates IRQs without setting interrupt pending (occured) bit in PCI PP status register correctly then you cannot use PCI IRQ sharing and must not use /SHR parameter.
 
* /TOU:ddd
Specifies maximum wait time in seconds before canceling the print request. This is a 3 decimal digit value (by default - 120 seconds).
 
* /F
Find PPs on PCI combo (serial/parallel) cards automatically.
 
* /MPL
modifies polling procedure - makes it less processor resource consuming by scheduling other systems tasks at certain print points, may decrease print speed.

'''TIP:''' A lot of Athlon motherboards are using the Via Southbridge VT82C686A chipset which provides 4 USB ports. Do you know if the Via drivers work with this Via chipset?". Robert Lalla, the author of the patched USB driver that works with VIA chipsets replied with this tip on how to get IBM's latest USB driver to work with VIA chipsets by applying a patch:
===Kaspersky Antivirus===
*[[SEC32.SYS]]


The VIA version of UHCI host driver that I uploaded to Hobbes last October is working for mice, keyboards, hubs and modem peripherals, maybe audio. For printers and removable disks updated USB base drivers are recommended. They are supplied from IBM together with the USB printer drivers. But again this USBUHCD.SYS is only enabled for Intel. The following patch script will add VIA support to USBUHCD.SYS dated Jan 2000:
===Norman===
-----save as VIA.PAT---------
*[[NVCHOOK.SYS]] - Norman Virus Control
FILE USBUHCD.SYS
VER 2F2B C747040300
CHA 2F2E 01
------------------------------
#copy VIA.PAT to \OS2\BOOT
#set current directory \OS2\BOOT
#create a backup copy of USBUHCD.SYS
#run: PATCH VIA.PAT /A


A special aspect of the 686a Southbridge is that it does not contain one USB controller having 4 ports but instead 2 controllers (2 ports each). So unless one of both controllers is disabled explicitly, USBUHCD.SYS should be loaded twice(!) in CONFIG.SYS.

(Number of reserved drives) 'n' is a number between 1 and 10. Default is 1. A series of logical drive names can be reserved for each MO drive for future partitioning. If the number of valid partitions exceeds the number specified /R option, and if /S option is not specified, up to 16 partitions are allowed.
*[[VIACD.FLT]] - VIA IDE CD
* /S
*[[VRAID.FLT]] - Software RAID Filter
(Reserved drive priority) No more logical drives than the number of /R option is assigned. When the number of reserved drives specified with the /R option is fewer than the number of valid partitions on a disk, the number of reserved drives takes priority. For example, if there are four valid partitions on the disk and the number of reserved drives is specified at 3, a logical drive name cannot be assigned to the fourth partition, and hence it cannot be accessed.
*[[XDFLOPPY.FLT]] - eXtended disk format
* /I {h:} m {[n]} {+-{h:} m {[n]}}+-...
(Specify the drive ID) This parameter specifies the target MO drive by the host adapter number and SCSI-ID number. If this option is not used, all accessible MO drives are used by default. h is the host adapter number (between 0 and 9). The default is 0. m is the SCSI-ID number (0 to 7). n is the number of reserved drives. When 'n' is omitted, the value specified with the /R option is used.
* /U:{IDE adapter name}
(Required, specify IDE adapter driver) This parameter is not optional but required both for ATAPIMO.FLT and MODISK.DMD. You must specify same name for these two drivers. Usually '/U:ST506_HardDrive' works fine if 'IBM1S506.ADD' or 'IBM2S506.ADD' is used as IDE adapter driver.

===DANIATAPI.FLT===
This highly recommended filter driver by Daniela Engert (dani@ngrt.de) supports all types of ATAPI devices. It is a superset of IBMIDECD.FLT, IBMATAPI.FLT and DaniADsk.FLT, and supports all devices that the mentioned drivers do. Additionally, all ATAPI devices can be accessed through the OS/2 ASPI software interface. Each EIDE channel shows up as a SCSI channel, and each ATAPI device as a SCSI device (master = SCSI ID 0, slave = SCSI ID 1).
 
'''NOTE:''' Make sure that all other ATAPI related drivers are inactive or come after DaniATAPI.FLT in your CONFIG.SYS. If you intend to run the BootOS utility or to install this filter driver on a 8.3-only filesystem, rename the driver to DaniATAP.FLT.
 
* can deal with the ATAPI ZIP-250
* improved ZIP performance (up to factor 4 on ZIP-250)
* supports arbitrary swapping of 100MB and 250MB media
* reflects the current media capacity up to FDISK, DISKIO or the like
* OS/2 boot from ZIP is possible
* faster 32bit PIO in conjunction with DANIS506.ADD (rel. 1.1.1 or later)
* Busmaster DMA mode works and is tested with Intel, VIA, AMD, HPT, SiS and CMD chipsets until now. Busmaster DMA is available now for ALi as well (CD/DVD-ROM is safe, but some chip revisions fail on DMA write operations!). Due to hardware limitations there is no 32bit PIO and no busmaster DMA possible for ATAPI devices attached to a Promise Ultra controller.
* ATAPI devices appear to the rest of the system as regular SCSI-2 devices if used with DANIS506.ADD (rel. 1.1.5 or later). This may be disabled globally or individually.
* advanced "hot-swap" support if used with DANIS506.ADD (rel. 1.1.9 or later)
* support for PCCard (formerly: PCMCIA) ATAPI devices (like the Iomega PCMCIA ZIP-250 or the Iomega Click!40)
* the translation of old-style 6-byte SCSI commands into their more modern 10-byte counterparts is no longer hardcoded. The device is sensed now to check if it requires this translation.
* like DaniS506.ADD, this driver stores boot messages internally for later readout. To view them, issue "copy ATAPI$ con:", to dump them into a file, issue "copy ATAPI$ anyfile".
* automatic media unload on shutdown if desired
* supports up to eight IDE channels
 
BASEDEV=DANIATAPI.FLT
 
'''Parameter:'''
This driver supports all switches and options that IBM1ATAPI.FLT supports.
 
'''Generic options'''
* /!V
(quiet) (not) Verbose mode
 
* /EJ
(don't eject) eject medium at shutdown
 
* /ZA
(default mapping) map ZIP drive to A:
 
* /!SCSI
(export all) don't export any ATAPI devices as SCSI devices
 
'''Adapter options'''
* /A:n (n/a) Adapter number (0, 1, 2, 3)
* /I (off) Ignore adapter
* /EJ (don't eject) eject medium at shutdown
* /!SCSI (export all) (don't) export ATAPI devices as SCSI devices
 
'''Unit options'''
* /U:n - (n/a) Unit number (0, 1)
* /UNIT:n - same as /U
* /I - (off) Ignore unit
* /EJ - (don't eject) eject medium at shutdown
* /!SCSI - (export) (don't) export ATAPI devices as SCSI devices
* /RSJ - (off) RSJ CDROM backdoor. Installs an additional backdoor to re-enable regular CD ROM operation via OS2CDROM.DMD (or replacements).
* /TYPE: - Units marked as "hot-swappable" on DANIS506.ADD's command line (by /FORCE /ATAPI) need the new option /TYPE: to advice DaniATAPI.FLT to report appropriate device types to the device managers. The same applies to PCCard adapter channels (marked as /FORCE /PCMCIA on DANIS506.ADD's command line). This is done by additional characters designating the supported device types:
# 'c' or 'C': all CD-ROM like devices (CD-ROM, CD-R/W, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM)
# 'z' or 'Z': all ZIP drives
# 'l' or 'L': the LS-120 drive
# 'w' or 'W': all CD writer like devices (CD-R/W, DVD-RAM)

===DANIBOOT.FLT===
DaniBoot.FLT is a enhanced filter driver which allows to boot OS/2 from a CD-ROM.
 
The boot image may be split into two images on the CD-ROM medium to accomodate space requirements for BASEDEVs. These two images need to be physically adjacent on the medium! The first part of the images needs to be of standard floppy size (1.44MB or 2.88MB) or the BIOS might not accept the image as a bootable one.
BASEDEV=DANIBOOT.FLT
 
'''Parameter:'''
 
* /D:n
total number of 1.44MB pseudo-images comprising the boot image
 
* /N:name
the image name to search for in case of multiple boot images. may contain any character except for white space. The length of name is 11 characters or less; excess characters are discarded.
 
* /H
hide all non-boot CD-ROM units

  BASEDEV=OS2ASPI.DMD <parameters>
 
'''Parameters:'''
Both parameter prevent from exclusively allocating a device which prevents other DMD from using the device. At the same time they allow to access a device even if it is controlled by another DMD.
 
* /SHARE - allocates a device only while sending a command.
* /ALL - no devices are allocated.
 
'''TIP:''' If you are using RSJ CD Writer 2.59 or above you may add the parameter /ALL to BASEDEV=OS2ASPI.DMD. Also needed by SANE and CDRECORD.
After booting your machine, the recorder will be useable as a standard CDROM drive, and you will nevertheless be able to attach the CD to our filesystem. But please ensure that you're not using the CDROM drive letter at the same time when the CDR is attached to RSJ's filesystem, otherwise this will result in errors. If you are using RSJ CD Writer 2.7 you can add unsupported drives

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:
