CONFIG.SYS - DEVICE Statements

From EDM2

Return to The Config.sys Documentation Project Main Page

Device Drivers are needed by OS/2 to work with your installed hardware. The Device Drivers are loaded after the Base Device Drivers Unlike the Base Device Drivers, the Device Drivers are loaded in the order they appear in the config.sys file. The following pages describe these entries:

DEVICE=$ICPMOS2.SYS

Power Management Driver for PCMCIA

  DEVICE=$ICPMOS2.SYS

ATTENTION: Must be after all other listed drivers in the config.sys.

Platform Support:

OS/2 2.x OS/2 3.0 OS/2 4.0 OS/2 4.5x eCS 1.x eCs 2.x
Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes

DEVICE=ACCND.OS2

ACCTON EN1207D Series Ethernet PCI Adapter NDIS driver: http://www.accton.com/accton/products/adapters/en1207d_wol/base.html Network card in IBM's netvista 6269N2G

DEVICE=AD1816DD.SYS

Analog Devices AD1816 Soundport Driver

 DEVICE=AD1816DD.SYS

Parameter:

  • /N:$strng$

Device driver name assigned by MINSTALL

  • /3:y

3D Phase expansion (0-31)

NOTE: The Aztech SC16-3D sound card has an Analog Devices AD1816 chip whose drivers should work, in theory. The problem is that this card does not report itself as a standard AD1816 based board, so even though the PnP-Manager correctly initializes the card, the driver can neither recognize the board nor pick up the IRQ, I/O, and DMA values from the PnP-Manager. Martin Schaffoener (martin.schaffoener@student.uni-magdeburg.de) patched the driver so it will work also with this card. Search for azsc163d.zip

Together with the APMDAEMN.SYS these settings can also be done by using the Power-Symbol in your System Setup Folder.

TIP: To work correctly you have 1. to change your Warp-Center properties to 'Show only when Mouse is over Center's position' and 2. enable in 'Power Properties' in your System folder on the 'Performance' page 'Automaticall change performance when the power source changes'. (Only tested with Warp4 fixpak 13).

TIP: When OS/2 fails to install in ACPI only Systems REM this driver (has to be done on the Installationdisks too) or give APM_NH.SYS a try, it is rported to work on Intel based Motherborads too.

DEVICE APM_NH.SYS

Replacement APM driver (APM_NH.SYS) APM_NH.SYS is based on 10.037 level of IBM's APM.SYS (same as XR_D002 but probably outdated with respect to OS/2 v 4.52 G.A.). Its purpose is to honor the APM hooks installed by VIAAPM.SYS while allowing usual APM tasks such as power-down or suspend mode. It is therefore essential that one installs APM_NH.SYS rather than APM.SYS, so the KT266A idle hook would not be taken out by IBM's driver.

Tip: In System which only have ACPI it is reported that APM-NH.SYS works even it is a Intel chipset.

DEVICE=CDROMMGR.DMD

CD-ROM device manager which prevents subsequent requests to different slots of a CD changer.

  DEVICE=CDROMMGR.DMD

Parameter:

  • /T:n

CDROMMGR.DMD has the changer feature enabled by default. It prevents slot changes for 1000ms by returning ERROR_DEVICE_NOT_READY to the caller. The timeout value can be set at load time through option /T: The valid range is from 1 second up to 60 seconds. If CDROMMGR.DMD does not find a CD Changer device, the feature will automatically be disabled and cannot be activated.

  • /C

CDROMMGR.DMD will manage only CD Changers. Normal CD-ROM drives or CD Burners will not get allocated. This option is useful if you want to use another CD-ROM device manager for special features, like CTCDROM.DMD for Unite CD-Maker. To make sure that CDROMMGR.DMD gets control over the CD Changer devices, it has to be loaded as the first CD-ROM manager.

DEVICE=CFOS.SYS

CFOS is a driver that sits between your ISDN hardware and your Modem Software ( Internet Dialer, Terminal program). It emulates a COM port. 'cFos' device driver receives the usual modem commands, the so-called AT commands from the communication programs and turns them into the corresponding ISDN CAPI commands. ISDN CAPI responses are turned into modem responses of the same meaning, so that the communication programs 'understand' them.

  DEVICE=C:\Cfos\Cfos.Sys <parameters>

As you can enter any equipment names (e.g.: ISDN1) or several COM ports (a maximum of two in the shareware version, up to 30 in 'cFos Professional'). Be careful not to enter COM ports that actually exist as hardware and are in use (e.g. a COM port for your mouse).

NOTE: The CFOS.SYS driver should be loaded after drivers for serial interfaces (COM.SYS oder SIO.SYS) and after the CAPI driver.

DEVICE=COM.SYS

These driver is required for serial communication.

  DEVICE=C:\OS2\Boot\COM.SYS <parameters>

TIP: below. This line MUST appear after any driver that uses a communications port. Older versions of COM.SYS are limited to 57600 Baud, newer ones (e.g. delivered with Warp 4) are able to do 115200 Baud. Beginning with build 10.042 PCI Add-On cards with implemented software interrupt sharing are supported too, beginning with build 10.052 there are 16 com ports available and beginning with build 10.068 Combo Cards are supported.

TIP: There are two very good replacement drivers called SIO.SYS\VSIO.SYS.

TIP: To add support for COM3 and COM4 at location 3E8 with IRQ 4 and 2E8 with IRQ 3 respectively, add (3,3E8,4) (4,2E8,3) to the DEVICE line, e.g.

  DEVICE=drive:\OS2\COM.SYS (3,3E8,4) (4,2E8,3)

You can also use this method to change a COM ports assigned IRQ. The normal address for COM1 is 3F8 and IRQ 4, for COM2 2F8 and IRQ3.

TIP: With ThinkPads should the address be added. e.g:

  DEVICE=drive:\OS2\BOOT\COM.SYS (1,3F8,4) (2,2F8,3)

Parameter:

  • /V

Verbose (since 10.052)

  • /W

Wait verbose mode (since 10.052). Displaying pauses with a "Press Enter to continue..." message.

  • /F

Find COM ports on PCI combo (serial/parallel) cards automatically (since 10.068).

DEVICE=GENSCSI.SYS

Generic SCSI device driver. The basic function of GENSCSI.SYS is to provide applications with an interface to OS2SCSI.DMD. It only answers 4 commands: Open, Close, IOCtl, and Init. All others cause an Invalid Command error. GENSCSI accepts IOCtl commands in the same format that OS2SCSI does, except GENSCSI expects all addresses to be ring 3 addresses while OS2SCSI expects them to be ring 0 addresses, physical addresses or scatter/gather lists. GENSCSI will convert the ring 3 addresses to the proper form and pass the command on to OS2SCSI. When OS2SCSI is done with the command, it returns the results back to GENSCSI who passes it back to the application. Developed by Dennis Rowe available for free as part of scsipg.zip.

The IRCOMM.SYS driver make it possible to assign a virtual COM port to your Infrared attached IrCOMM device (Cellular phone, etc.). You can then use any COM port aware application package to access the device like through a normal COM port, i.e. issue AT commands to a modem, etc.

Communication Applications tested with this release are:

  • InJoy IP Dialer V2.3
  • Opalis BTX decoder (German online service)
  • ...

IrCOMM also supports printing via the infrared port. Just install the right printer driver, then point it to the COM port IrCOMM is using. For Win-OS/2 printing, you can select the same COM port as you Win-OS/2 printer port.

Printers tested so far:

  • HP LaserJet 6MP
  • HP DeskJet 340

Whenever the IRCOMM driver detects a device, you will see the red indicator come on and tell you there's an active connection.

DEVICE=Log.sys

This driver enables logging of system error messages and some application error messages.

note: You need also logdaem.exe

  DEVICE=C:\OS2\LOG.SYS [parameters]

Parameters:

  • /E:value

This sets up the log buffer size. Value can be in the range from 4 to 64 . Default = 8 This value is expressed in Kbytes.

  • /A:value

This is the size of the alarm buffer. Value can be in the range from 4 to 64 . Default = 8 This value is expressed in Kbytes.

  • /OFF

If set to OFF the driver is installed but the logging of error messages is turned off. You can turn it on again with the program Syslog.
