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)

LANDD.SYS

LAN Manager's user device driver that provides services for MAC frame protocols. 

DEVICE=LANDD.SYS

NOTE: By Jeff Summner: Looking at the driver, it supplies the driver names \dev\LANDD$ and requires another device, \dev\protman$ to work. In my experience, in OS/2 it is strictly used for SNA, be that Anynet (Netbios over SNA/APPN) or simple Mainframe connectivity. It is also used to configure Bridges and LAM/CAU equipment. It does allow for some pretty cool stuff, like simple Token Ring utilization figures (a la Ringutil, IBM EWS, useless at full duplex, though) and Token Ring Diags (last ring code, upstream neighbor, beaconing MAC, Ring Parameter Server reporting.)

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.

See the examples below.

To install the log driver with a log buffer size of 48 Kbytes and an alarm buffer of 16 Kbytes, add this line to your config.sys file: 

DEVICE=C:\OS2\LOG.SYS /E:48 /A:16

To install the log driver but turn it off after initialization use this line: 

DEVICE=C:\OS2\LOG.SYS /OFF

NOTE: LOG.SYS has its limitations. It will not log an application error unless the application has been written to make use of LOG.SYS. Some routine system errors will not log either because OS/2 opens an error message box on screen to report these.

MVPRODD.SYS

Driver for MediaVision's ProAudio Spectrum sound card. The first driver is set for IRQ 11, DMA 3 with Sound Blaster support on IRQ 5 and DMA 1. 

  DEVICE=MVPRODD.SYS

Warp TIP: MediaVison's technical support indicates that the only correct settings for the PAS 16 in Warp is IRQ 11 and DMA 3. If you are experiencing static or white noise during bootup, MediaVison indicates that this is caused by using an IRQ other than 11 and DMA 3. They also indicate that the two device driver lines must be the last lines in your config.sys file. Note that this information didn't solve the static problem for all users, but it did for some. Others have indicated that adding the /T:1 parameter solved their "white noise" problem.

NETBIOS.OS2

This is the NetBIOS API driver. 

DEVICE=C:\Ibmcom\Protocol\NETBIOS.OS2

TIP: By Roland Sambain. The conventions wisdom about IFS statements coming at the beginning of config.sys seems not to apply. i.e. for netbios to load correctly the device statement must comes before the NETWKSTA.200 IFS.

Netbios and Gigsabit adapters

Due to the Nature of NetBIOS, it has some limitations to work on Gigabit adapters with requires some adjustments to MPTS settings.

Explanation: NetBIOS can not work with large Ethernet frame sizes which are used by default with Gigabit Ethernet adapters. Both transfer and receive buffer sizes should be set to 1024 bytes and USEMAXDATAGRAM set to "NO". The DIX 2.0 protocol type (ETHERAND_TYPE) should be set to "D".

Procedure to change settings

  1. From MPTS select 'Configure'
  2. In 'Current Configuration' find the "IBM 1000BaseT Gigabit Ethernet Adapter" and press 'Edit'
  3. Set 'Receive Buffer Size' = 1024
  4. Set 'Transmit Buffer Size' = 1024
  5. Select OK
  6. In 'Current Configuration' find the "IBM OS/2 NETBIOS" and press 'Edit'
  7. Set 'Type of Ethernet driver support = "D"
  8. Set 'Full buffer datagrams' = "NO"
  9. Select OK
  10. Select 'Exit' MPTS.
  11. Reboot

The other possibility is to use "IBM OS/2 NETBIOS OVER TCP/IP". You might want to try this and compare the results to native NetBIOS.

NETBIOS.SYS

Loads support for the NETBIOS protocol. 

DEVICE=NETBIOS.SYS

TIP: If you do not use NETBIOS applications, you can remove the NETBIOS driver from the config.sys and the NETBIOS section from the PROTOCOL.INI to remove some of the confusion this creates. You should also remove the virtual netbios drivers at the same time since these bind onto the NETBIOS driver and not the LM10 interface (which is why they appear after the NETWKSTA.SYS driver, so it can "eat" its resources first, then what is left over is assigned to NETBIOS.SYS). [<- Note: this should be NETBIOS.OS2] (The mentioned virtual NETBIOS drivers are \IBMCOM\PROTOCOL\LANPDD.OS2 and LANVDD.OS2)

Driver for Sound Blaster 16 sound card. 

DEVICE=SB16D2.SYS <parameter>

Parameter:

  • /C:

Card Number, this will be set to 1 in most cases

  • /D:

8-bit DMA channel, Valid values - 0, 1 & 3 (Sound Blaster cards that use Vibra chipset do not have 0). Default value - 1.

  • /H:

16-bit DMA channel, Valid values - 5, 6 & 7 (Sound Blaster cards that use Vibra chipset do not have 6). Default value - 5.

  • /I:

  • /A:

Base addresss, Valid values - 220, 240, 260, 280 Default value - 220.

  • /B:

Buffer size in KB, Valid values - 1-24. While any value in this range will work fine, to get the best results don't use this option and let the driver use the default buffer size. Default value - 8KB.

  • /M:

MPU port address Valid values - 300 & 330 Default value - 330.

  • /N:

Driver name, set this to SBAUD1$

  • /Q

Quiet mode flag, OPTIONAL. Setting this option disables initialization messages. If not specified the initialization messages are displayed during boot-up.

  • /EXT

Use MPU port instead of internal synth for MIDI, OPTIONAL By default the drivers are configured to use the internal synthesizer. But if you have a daughterboard attached to your Sound Blaster card and you want MIDI playback to use the synthesizer in the daughterboard, specify this flag.

  • /P

Ignore PnP BIOS if it is present. If PnP BIOS is present, the driver usually queries the BIOS for certain PnP port addresses. Specifying this option causes the driver not to access the BIOS and determine these port addresses itself.

  • /G

Override PnP BIOS, undocumented switch. When used all parameters must be specified.

SOLO.SYS

Driver for ESS SOLO 1 based soundcards or motherboards. 

DEVICE=SOLO.SYS <parameter>

Parameter:

  • /O:ENABLEWAVETABLE

If your installation includes an ES689 or ES692 WaveTable adding thid parameter to the config.sys line will cause the driver to use the wavetable as the primary midi.

  • /R:n

(where n is in milliseconds and between 1 and 32) this parameter allows the user to over ride the default timer resolution (5ms). Increasing this value will cause te driver to get dispatched less often and so use less cpu time, however this can cause the tempo to drag. Decreasing this value below 5 will cause the driver to use more cpu time and can interfere with other timers.

SVDISK.SYS

This is the driver for the Super Virtual Disk tool, which emulates a floppy drive in memory. Super Virtual Disk (SVDisk) is a 32-bit OS/2 device driver that emulates either a removable Virtual Disk (VDisk) or a removable Virtual Floppy (VFloppy) drive. By using OS/2's virtual memory management facility, SVDisk allows the entire contents of the disk to be swapped out via the paging mechanism. If the SVDisk is frequently accessed, OS/2 will keep the most recently used memory pages in RAM, SVDisk will essentially behave like a RAM Disk. 

DEVICE=C:\SVDisk\SVDisk.sys <parameter>

Parameter:

  • n

the possible values for VFloppy device are: 360, 720, 1200, 1440, and 2880. Use 1520, 1840 and 3680 for XDF VFloppy. Since SVDisk defaults to a 1.44MB VFloppy device, the 1440 parameter can be omitted.

SWITCH.OS2

Virtual PC for OS/2 Virtual Switch Driver. Virtual Switch Networking is the most powerful way of connecting your guest systems to an Ethernet network. It assigns a unique MAC address to your virtual machine, allowing it to use arbitrary network protocols and even act as a server. For other machine in the network, the virtual machine appears as an additional network station and it is indistinguishable from a "real" PC.

Note that while Virtual Switch Networking gives you more power and flexibility, it also means additional administration. The virtual machine uses a MAC address of its own and therefore needs a unique IP address etc. For typical TCP/IP requirements, the Shared Networking (NAT) is recommended.

VDISK.SYS

As in DOS, this driver installs a RAM disk. In this example, the RAM disk is 512k with the sectors and directories parameters set at the default level (64-byte sectors and 64 directory entries). With DOS, a RAM disk could significantly improve system performance, but because OS/2 handles your memory far more efficiently than DOS and has its own sophisticated caching routines, using a RAM disk is not recommended.

CAUTION: Because a RAM disk takes available memory away from OS/2, you may negatively impact system performance on systems with less than 12MB of RAM. Unless you have lots of RAM or have a very specific need, don't install a RAM disk.

NOTE: If you do install VDISK.SYS and you also have EXTDSKDD.SYS installed, VDISK.SYS must be placed after EXTDSKDD.SYS in your config.sys file. Check your on-line Command Reference for information on EXTDSKDD.SYS.

VNPX.SYS

This device driver works _with_ your systems math coprocessor. If you do not have a math coprocessor, this driver will not load. Some have suggested that if you add it to your config.sys you will see an enhancement in your systems performance. Not so. There is no reason for it to be added to your config.sys file. IF YOU HAVE A MATH COPROCESSOR, OS/2 WILL LOAD THIS DRIVER AUTOMATICALLY. If you add it to your config.sys file, a second copy of the driver will be loaded. In doing so, many have reported that no DOS programs would run. DO NOT ADD THIS STATEMENT TO YOUR CONFIG.SYS FILE.

VPICPARM.SYS

Some applications like PCAS (and some terminal emulators) have problems sharing IRQ9 in a VDM. Since the DOS Virtual Device drivers are not loaded out of CONFIG.SYS, a new device driver VPICPARM.SYS has been added starting with Warp 3 FixPak 38 and Warp 4 FixPak 8.

To prevent sharing of IRQ9 in a VDM, add the device in config.sys: Next, in the settings for the program that requires exclusive access to IRQ9, set the DOS setting HW_SHARE_IRQ9 to ON. When you next boot your system, VDMs will not share IRQ

Parameters:

  • Value can be Global or Local .
  • Default = Global
  • :Li. Global

All DOS, Windows and OS/2 sessions set up for global login support share a single login to a Netware server. Drive mappings and port captures from one session apply to all the other sessions. This is useful in environments where the number of connections is carefully monitored. :Li. Local All DOS and Windows sessions set up for private login support have their own logins to a Netware server. Drive mappings and port captures from one session do not apply to the other sessions. This is useful in environments where users need logins from DOS and Windows sessions to be separate from logins from OS/2 sessions.

You can change this parameter also in the DOS/Windows settings of each Program object.
