===OS2ASPI.DMD===
*[[OS2ASPI.DMD]] - ASPI device manager
ASPI device manager. SPI Device Manager for drivers according the ASPI specification by Adaptec. Replaces the ASPI4OS2.SYS by Adaptec.
  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

Return to The Config.sys Documentation Project Main Page

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.

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:

I2O

Unsorted

IBMDSS02.SYS

IBM Thinkpad 720 Socket services 

BASEDEV=IBMDSS02.SYS

ATTENTION Must be in front of all other PCMCIA Drivers, but after PCMCIA.SYS.

Platform Support:

OS/2 2.x OS/2 3.0 OS/2 4.0 OS/2 4.5x
Yes Yes Yes Yes

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.
