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:

===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.

===IBMKBD.SYS===
Provides support for your keyboard. Some tools e.g. the Ctrl-Alt-Del Commander form Perez Computing or the Process Commander from Stardock are replacing KBDBASE.SYS by their own version. Whenever you deinstall these tools manually be sure to revert to the original KBDBASE.SYS. It is also reported that Process-Commander fails with Warp 4.5 versions (WSeB and Warp4 Fixpak 13 or higher)
BASEDEV=IBMKBD.SYS <parameters>
 
'''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.

'''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.
===IDE===
*[[EPIACD.ADD]] - Shuttle-EPIA parallel port to IDE adapter
*[[ONHDFLPY.ADD]] - LS120 Parallel Port


'''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."
===PCMCIA===
 
*[[SPP100.SYS]] - Quatech SPP-100 PCMCIA parallel port driver PCMCIA
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.

===USBUHCD.SYS===
*[[USBUHCD.SYS]] - UHCI compatible USB controller
Driver for the USB port controller. You need also Usbd.sys and Usbhid.sys installed. For now only UHCI compatible USB controllers are supported. These are only the chip sets from Intel and VIA.
BASEDEV=USBUDCD.SYS <parameter>
 
'''TIP:''' If you use the version from the Device Driver Pak2 available at:
ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/ps/products/os2/fixes/DDPak/xr_d002
the drivers supports Intel and VIA chipsets.
 
'''NOTE:''' On IBM 365 System you have to add the parameter /FS
 
'''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:
 
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:
-----save as VIA.PAT---------
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.
 
'''Parameter:'''
* /V
Verbose Mode, displays driver information during OS/2 initialization.
 
* /FS
Forces driver to stop USB host during OS/2 shutdown process. This parameter can be used to prevent POST (power on system test) failure on some hardware with legacy keyboard.
 
;Tested UHCI Adapters or Controllers
* D-Link DU-A2 PCI USB controller
* Intel 82371AB/EB PCI to USB Universal Host Controller

'''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:
