  The Latest  OS2 Loader package from  DDPAK should be applied  to your system

  (or installation diskettes) prior to installing this IDEDASD package.



  1  Introduction

  _________________


  FixPak 35 (FP35) for  Warp 3 and FixPak 6 (FP6) for  Warp 4 extended support

  for fixed  Enhanced IDE drives  to sizes up  to 8.4GB and added  new caching

  HPFS and  FAT file system  support for removable  media drives such  as SCSI

  Syquest  Syjet 1.5GB  portable hard  drive and  the Iomega  jaz 1GB  and 2GB

  personal hard drives.


  This  package contains updates  to the  support in  FP35 and  FP6, extending

  support  to fixed  Enhanced IDE  drives first  past the  8.4GB  boundary and

  second past  the 512 Gb  boundary.  It also  fixes some other  problems, and

  adding additional documentation on  removable media support.  Beginning with

  FP40 and  FP10 OS/2 base  device drivers were  separated into a  Base Device

  Driver FixPak.


  File ddk_note.txt  contains programming  information related to  the drivers

  included into the IDEDASD package and can be used in addition to the DDK and

  SDK references.


  This package also contains extensions to OS2CDROM.DMD, providing support for

  multi-session CDROM media.


  The package also contains  an updated floppy diskette driver (IBM1FLPY.ADD),

  which corrects  a failure that occurs upon  a Resume on a  ThinkPad when the

  diskette drive is installed in the ThinkPad docking station.


  Previously  IDE CD-ROM  (also  CD-R,  CD-RW, DVD)  devices  were handled  by

  IBMIDECD.FLT and all  other ATAPI devices (like LS-120  and ZIP drives) were

  handled  by IBMATAPI.FLT.  Now all  ATAPI devices  are handled  by  a single

  driver, the IBMATAPI.FLT.  For  backward compatibility this package provides

  both  IBMIDECD.FLT and  IBMATAPI.FLT drivers.  In  fact, they  are the  same

  driver  and  if  both drivers  are  in  config.sys  only  the first  one  in

  config.sys will  remain loaded. It  is recommended to use  only IBMATAPI.FLT

  driver entry  and remove the IBMIDECD.FLT  entry from config.sys.  If you do

  not remove the  IBMIDECD.FLT entry from the config.sys,  the step in section

  2.4 must also be performed on the IBMIDECD.FLT entry.


  For  Warp   Server  Advanced  HPFS386   support  of  removable   media,  you

  additionally need LAN Server SelectPack IP_8508.


  These fixpaks are available  from http://ps.software.ibm.com/ under the link

  "Downloads and  News."  Install the  fixpaks first, carefully  following the

  instructions with the fixpaks; then  follow the directions in this README to

  install this package.


  If you are  attempting to install Warp 3  or Warp 4 for the first  time on a

  fixed hard drive greater than 4.3GB, then:


  1.  Follow the instruction on  "Updating the Installation Diskettes" in this

      README and use the new diskettes to install Warp.


  2.  Install FP35 for Warp 3 or FP6 for Warp 4.


  3.  Follow the instructions in this README to install this package.

  2  Installation

  2.1  Updating the Installation Diskettes

  ________________________________________


  If you are attempting to install Warp on a hard drive greater than 4.3GB, or

  your are  attempting to install Warp  Server for e-business on  a hard drive

  greater than 30GB, then the Installation diskettes must be updated.


  If  you are  intend to  install OS/2  on a  hard drive  greater than  512 Gb

  partitioned  by OS/2  without  OS2DASD.DMD parameter  /D:n  /BOOTABLE or  by

  non-OS/2 tool, you  should back up all data from the  all partitions on this

  drive,  then remove all  partitions from  the drive  and reboot,  before you

  start  installation process.   This is  because OS/2  cannot  currently make

  bootable  such a drive  with an  acknowledged capacity  larger than  512 Gb.

  Instead the  drive must first be  changed to use a  smaller logical geometry

  which  ignores  part of  the  true capacity.   This  backing  up process  is

  typically laborious for a drive which is  already in use; and this is why it

  is  important to make  an early  and deliberate  and selection  of /BOOTABLE

  versus /FULLSIZE  option for  each drive with  greater than 512  Gb capacity

  when using this version of OS2DASD.DMD on a new drive.


  1.  Make a backup copy of your Diskette 1 (D1).


  2.  Copy the  new versions of  IBM1S506.ADD, and IBMIDECD.FLT  device driver

      files onto your D1 diskette.


  3.  If the installation  diskettes are for Warp Server  for e-business, Warp

      Server for e-business  Convenience Pak, or Warp 4  Convenience Pak, copy

      the  DASD32.DMD  file  to  your  D1  diskette  as  (over  the  existing)

      OS2DASD.DMD.  Otherwise copy the DASD16.DMD  file to your D1 diskette as

      (over the existing) OS2DASD.DMD.


  4.  Modify the CONFIG.SYS file:

      

      a. Add the statement SET COPYFROMFLOPPY=1 to the CONFIG.SYS on D1.

      

      b. Add the parameters /D:n  /BOOTABLE to the line BASEDEV=OS2DASD.DMD in

         the CONFIG.SYS  on D1  (/D:n refers to  the intended boot  drive, see

         section 3.10 for  parameters details) for disks equal  or larger than

         512 Gb.


  5.  Start  the  installation  with  the  Installation  Diskette  and  follow

      instructions.


      NOTES:


      a. During  the installation  process  before rebooting your  system make

         sure that the device driver statements are in the CONFIG.SYS file and

         the new  versions of  the IBM1S506.ADD, IBMIDECD.FLT  and OS2DASD.DMD

         device drivers have been copied  to the \OS2\BOOT directory.  Use the

         date of the files to distinguish the newer versions.


      b. (Follow this note instructions  if your total disk capacity is larger

         than 512 Gb.)   During installation process, you will  be prompted to

         reinsert  all  diskettes  and  the  files will  be  copied  from  the

         diskettes to the hard drive.   After coping and before rebooting (you

         will see the message "Remove  the diskette and press Enter to restart

         the  workstation and  continue the  installation") you  must  exit to

         command  prompt  (using  F3)  and remove  duplicate  line  containing

         "BASEDEV=OS2DASD.DMD /D:n  /BOOTABLE" from ending  of the CONFIG.SYS.

         There should  remain the line "BASEDEV=OS2DASD.DMD" in  the middle of

         the CONFIG.SYS.

 


  2.2  Updating a Previous Installed Warp System

  ________________________________________________


  1.  (Optional) Save the existing (old) level of drivers in your system.


      a.  Change Directory to the \os2\boot directory on your boot drive.


      b.  Rename the  drivers (for example, where the boot  drive is C:).  The

          IBMATAPI.FLT driver may not have been previously installed.


            [C:\os2\boot] rename IBM1S506.ADD  IBM1S506.ORG

            [C:\os2\boot] rename IBM1FLPY.ADD  IBM1FLPY.ORG

            [C:\os2\boot] rename IBMIDECD.FLT  IBMIDECD.ORG

            [C:\os2\boot] rename IBMATAPI.FLT  IBMATAPI.ORG

            [C:\os2\boot] rename OS2CDROM.DMD  OS2CDROM.ORG

            [C:\os2\boot] rename OS2DASD.DMD   OS2DASD.ORG


  2.  Open an  OS/2 Window and  enter the SYSLEVEL  X: (where X: is  your boot

      drive).  Look  for the  entry x:\OS2\INSTALL\SYSLEVEL.OS2 and  see which

      version  of OS/2  you  have  installed; for  example  "Version 4.00"  or

      "Version 4.50".


  3.  Device Driver Install


      o   (Warp 3, Warp Server) Open  the Device Driver Install program in the

          OS/2 System Folder/System Setup Folder.


      o   (Warp 4, Warp Server  for e-business) Open the Device Driver Install

          program in the OS/2 System/System Setup/Install-Remove Folder.


  3.  Point the Device Driver Install file dialogue to the directory where you

      have placed the new files in this package.


         If your version  of OS/2 is 4.00 or earlier,  select the driver named

         IBM IDE AND REMOVABLE MEDIA SUPPORT (V4.00).


         If your version of OS/2 is 4.50 or later, select the driver named IBM

         IDE AND REMOVABLE MEDIA SUPPORT (V4.50).


      Click on INSTALL.


  4.  Reboot the system.

  3  Large Hard Drive Considerations

  ____________________________________


  3.1  System Hang or Hard Drive Hesitation

  _________________________________________


  The  problem is  the IDE  chip sets  on certain  planars indicate  that they

  support Bus  mastering but  actually have a  defect that prevents  them from

  working  correctly.   The  driver  detects bus  mastering  support,  enables

  busmastering and attempts to use it.  Some symptoms are:


  o   System will not boot with IBM1S506.ADD.


  o   CHKDSK command does not work properly.


  o   Hard drive stops or hesitates for minutes at a time.


  This is  a known problem  with ThinkPad models 760E/ED/ELD/EL.   However the

  chip  set can,  and does,  show up  on planars  of other  manufacturers.  To

  correct:


  1.  Edit the CONFIG.SYS file on Diskette 1 or the boot drive.


  2.  Disable busmastering  by adding  the parameter /!BM  to the  driver; for

      example:


        BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD /A:0 /!BM /A:1 /!BM


  3.  Save the changes and reboot.



  3.2  Cannot Mark a Partition Installable

  ________________________________________


  There is a BIOS restriction  for most older (typically pre-2001 manufacture)

  computers  that  installable  (startable)  or bootable  partitions  must  be

  contained within the first 1024 logical cylinders of the disk.  This is true

  for  both EIDE  and  SCSI  hard disk  drives.   If FDISK  fails  to allow  a

  partition  to be  marked installable,  the  partition is  either above  1024

  cylinders or  the partition  spans the first  1024 logical cylinders  of the

  disk.  Use FDISK  to reduce the size of the  startable or bootable partition

  by sufficient MBytes.  One way to calculate the correct partition size is to

  do the following:


  1.  Edit  your   CONFIG.SYS  and  add  the   parameter  /W  or   /V  to  the

      BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD statement.


  2.  Save this change and reboot the system.


  3.  At initialization,  record the  far left hand  column of numbers  of the

      geometry  information  under the  OS2:log  heading;  for example,  where

      C=cylinder, H=head, and S=sector:


            OS2:log

       C       1027

       H         63

       S        128


  4.  Calculate the  1024 cylinder size in  MBytes as ( H  x S )  / 2.  (round

      down).


      All bootable  partitions must  be contained within  this size.   In this

      example  the bootable  partition must  be  contained in  the first  4032

      MBbytes of  the disk and cannot  exceed a single partition  size of 4032

      MBytes within  this area.  No  bootable partition may extend  beyond the

      first 4032 MBytes.


  5.  Use FDISK to resize the partitions and reboot.



  3.3  IPE on Boot, "Trap D"

  __________________________


  If  you experience  a Trap  D on  boot when  using the  /FORCE  parameter on

  IBM1S506.ADD, and  you have the  NetFinity client installed, REMark  out the

  BASEDEV=NFDASD.FLT statement in CONFIG.SYS.



  3.4  Inconsistencies in Total Disk Space

  ________________________________________


  This version of  IBM1S506.ADD allows the detection and  correct reporting of

  some additional free space on certain drives.  This "free space" is real and

  now can be  accessed, either by creating a new partition  or using a program

  such as PartitionMagic to add the free space to an existing partition.  This

  will not  cause any corruption or  inaccessibility to the  data currently on

  the disk.



  3.5  Application Install Fails with "Not Enough Space"

  ______________________________________________________


  FAT  partitions  under OS/2  are  limited to  a  2.1GB  maximum size.   HPFS

  partitions are limited  to a 64GB maximum size.  However  there is the magic

  number, 2,147,483,647 (2.1GB).  This 2.1GB  value is the maximum number that

  will  fit   into  a  signed  32-bit  integer.    Some  application  software

  installation programs query OS/2 about  the available remaining space on the

  partition and  save the result into  a signed 32-bit integer.   If more than

  2.1GB is available  there is an overflow, it appears  no space is available,

  and the installation program refuses to continue.  Two solutions are:


  o   Partition the remaining space into maximum 2GB partitions.


  o   Retain the large partition, but before trying to install software create

      a large temporary file that  reduces available space to less than 2.1GB.

      After installation of the application delete the temporary file.



  3.6  Performance Problems with Two Devices on a Single Channel

  ______________________________________________________________


  With  certain planars, two  devices attached  to the  same IDE  channel will

  exhibit performance problems when one device is a slow non-DMA device like a

  CDROM or  removable drive and the other  device is a faster  disk drive.  To

  alleviate this problem  move the slow device to the  other channel, where it

  is the only device or is paired with a similar slow device.


  If moving the device is not  possible, then you can disable busmastering for

  that  channel,  by  specifying  parameters  on the  driver  IBM1S506.ADD  in

  CONFIG.SYS.  For  example, if  you wanted to  disable bus mastering  for the

  secondary controller, you  would add  the parameters  "/A:1 /!BM"  to the

  IBM1S506.ADD line in CONFIG.SYS.



  3.7  Install Diskettes or Utility Diskettes Hang on Boot (APAR JR12065)

  _______________________________________________________________________


  Diskette 1  of the Install  or Utility diskette  sets may appear to  hang on

  boot, waiting for a removable media device to respond.  To avoid:


  1.  Edit the CONFIG.SYS on Diskette 1 of the set


  2.  REMark out the basedev=ibmint13.i13 statement and save the file.


  3.  Reboot



  3.8  Additional Parameters for IDE Device Driver

  ________________________________________________


  PARAMETER      FUNCTION


  /V             Verbose  Mode, displays controller status  and drive geometry

                 information during OS/2 initialization.


  /VL            Same  as  /V  but  does not  display  drive  geometry.   This

                 parameter  is added  to  avoid the  message buffer  overflow,

                 resulting in a "Lost message" message.


  /V:x           Verbose  Mode, displays controller status  and drive geometry

                 information only for  selected adapter x. The x  value can be

                 from 0  to 4.  This parameter is  added to avoid  the message

                 buffer overflow, resulting in a "Lost message" message.


  /W             Verbose  Mode, displays controller status  and drive geometry

                 information during OS/2 initialization.  Initialization stops

                 after  displaying the  information  for each  device, with  a

                 "Press Enter  to Continue" message.  It is  possible that the

                 message buffer  will overflow, resulting in  a "Lost message"

                 message.  This parameter works  correctly on Warp 3 with FP35

                 or later systems and on Warp 4 systems with FP6 or later.


  /WL            Same as  /VL, only  with pause.   Initialization  stops after

                 displaying  the information  for each  device, with  a "Press

                 Enter to Continue" message.


  /W:x           Same as  /V:x, only  with pause.  Initialization  stops after

                 displaying  the information  for each  device, with  a "Press

                 Enter to Continue" message.


  /FORCE         Forces the  emulation of an IDE CDROM  drive, even though one

                 is not present during  OS/2 initialization.  For example, the

                 statements


                   BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD /A:1 /U:0 /ATAPI /FORCE

                   BASEDEV=IBMIDECD.FLT


                 support inserting  an internal CDROM drive  into the Ultrabay

                 of a ThinkPad  755CD after suspend, even though  the drive is

                 not present during initialization.


  /UDMA:x        If  the system  is Ultra DMA  capable, this parameter  may be

                 used  to  limit the  highest  UDMA  mode  for an  adapter  or

                 device. The limit is specidied  by "x", the value can be from

                 0 to  5. If  the specified value  is higher than  the maximum

                 UDMA capability  the parameter  is ignored. For  example, the

                 statement


                    BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD /A:1 /U:0 /UDMA:2


                 limits Ultra DMA mode for secondary channel master device to

                 Ultra DMA mode 2.

                 

  /!UDMA         This parameter  is used  to disable  Ultra DMA  modes  of Bus

                 Mastering but  leave BM DMA  modes enabled. For  example, the

                 statement


                    BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD /A:0 /U:1 /!UDMA


                 disables Ultra DMA mode for primary channel slave device.


  /BM            If the  system is DMA capable, this parameter  can be used to

                 enable  or disable  DMA for  a specified  device  or adapter.

                 Example: "/A:1  /U:0 /BM" enables  DMA for the  Master device

                 attached to the secondary IDE  channel. This can be useful to

                 enable DMA on  ATAPI devices ( CD-ROM, LS120,  ZIP, etc) that

                 are  defaulted to  run  in PIO  mode.   If a  device is  UDMA

                 capable, using the "/BM"  or "/UDMA" parameter is recommended

                 only if  the IDE 80 pin  flat cable is  connected (instead of

                 the normal 40 pin flat  cable).  See section 5 for details on

                 various chipsets.


  /!BM           This  parameter is used to  disable Bus Mastering  DMA for an

                 adapter or device. For example, the statement

                 

                    "BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD /A:1 /!BM" 

                       disables BM DMA for secondary IDE channel,

                    "BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD /A:0 /U:1 /!BM"

                       disables  BM  DMA  for  master device  on  primary  IDE

                       channel


  /!HC           This  parameter is used  to disable a drive's  internal write

                 cache. When this parameter is specified and a write is issued

                 to the device, the drive will write directly to the media and

                 will not return until the  data has been written to the media

                 For example, the statement


                    "BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD /A:0 /U:0 /!HC"

                        disables write cache for  the device located at Unit 0

                        on the Primary Adapter,

                    "BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD /A:0 /!HC"

                        disables  write cache  for all  units attached  to the

                        Primary Adapter.

                 

  /HC           This parameter  is  used  to enable  device  write cache.   In

                general  this  parammter  should  not be  needed  because  the

                default  is  Device Write  Cache  enabled.   For example,  the

                statement


                    "BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD /A:0 /U:1 /HC"

                        enables  write  cache  for  the slave  device  on  the

                        Primary Adapter,

                    "BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD /A:1 /HC"

                        enables  write cache  for  all units  attached to  the

                        Secondary Adapter.


  /!BIGLBA       Disables 48  bit LBA support for specified  drive. Drive size

                 will be limited to 128 (137) Gb and legacy LBA 28 bit support

                 will be used. See section 3.10 for details. Examples:

                 

                    "BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD /A:0 /U:0 /!BIGLBA"

                       disables  48  bit  LBA  support for  master  device  on

                       primary IDE channel,

                    "BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD /A:1 /U:1 /!BIGLBA"

                       disables  48  bit  LBA  support  for  slave  device  on

                       secondary IDE channel.

                                                          

  /CDA          Enables   Chipset  Extended  Detection   Algorithm  for  Intel

                chipsets. Example:


                    BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD /CDA


                Enables detection of newer Intel PCI IDE chipset as the latest

                described in  the supported chipset table in  section 5.1. See

                section 5.3 for  additional information about Chipset Extended

                Detection Algorithm.


  /!SAL         Disables  SMART   (Self-Monitoring,  Analysis,  and  Reporting

                Technology)  Auto Logging  for the  device.  This  switch will

                disable SMART  Auto Logging only  for the device. It  does not

                have an affect on any of the other SMART commands.


                Example:

 

                    BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD /A:0 /U:0 /!SAL



  3.9  Very Large (128/137 Gb limit) Hard Drives Considerations (48 bit LBA)

  ____________________________________________________________________________


  Legacy LBA  (also know as 28 bit  LBA) maximum drive capacity  is limited to

  137 GB (268,435,455 sectors by 512  bytes each).  The 48 Bit LBA support was

  introduced  to break this  barrier and  provide support  for hard  disk with

  capacities larger than 137 GB.


  This version of  the IBM1S506.ADD driver has the 48 bit  LBA support and the

  driver will  automaticaly detect drives with  the capability of  48 bit LBA.

  This 48 bit LBA support will allow the  use of hard disk drives with up to 2

  TB (Terabytes) (1 TB = 1024 GB) capacity.


  In  spite of  the original  removal of  the 28  bit restriction,  before the

  addition of 512 Gb logical geometry support, the OS2DASD.DMD driver also had

  a geometry imposed  limitation which limited the maximum  physical hard disk

  capacity which OS/2 could support to 512 Gb.

  

  To maintain backward compatibility a new config.sys parameter,"/!BIGLBA", is

  introduced. If "/!BIGLBA"  is specify in config.sys, this  parameter for the

  specfic drive will  disable 48 bit LBA support and will  revert to legacy 28

  bit LBA  and usable drive  capacity will be  limited to 137  GB (268,435,455

  sectors by  512 bytes  each). If  the drive is  partitioned when  using this

  switch, then it will be compatible when connected to a system without 48 bit

  LBA support.  See section 3.8 for the "/!BIGLBA" parameter syntax.


  3.10 Very Large (512 Gb limit) Hard Drive Considerations

  ________________________________________________________

 

  The previous version  of OS2DASD.DMD had a 512  Gb geometry limitation which

  allowed only part (remainder of the  total drive capacity divided by the 512

  Gb) of the hard drive to be accessible for the system.


  The  current version  of OS2DASD.DMD  removes  this limit  and allows  total

  capacity  of the  hard drive  up to  2 Tb.  This support  has  the following

  options:


  1.  If the  drive is used as  a boot drive, only  first 512 Gb  of the drive

      space will be accessable to the system.


  2.  If drive is used only as a  data storage drive the total capacity (up to

      2 Tb) of drive will be accessable to the system.


      The two new parameters are available to select these options:


  o /BOOTABLE --- applied to  the unpartitioned large drive (during the bootup

      prior to the first partitioning  of the drive) and makes drive bootable,

      but limiting its available capacity to 512 Gb.


  o /FULLSIZE --- applied to  the unpartitioned large drive (during the bootup

      prior to the first partitioning of the drive) and allow use of the total

      capacity of  the drive (up to 2  Tb), but prevents the  drive from being

      made bootable.


  The parameters have the following usage syntax:


  BASEDEV=OS2DASD.DMD [/D:n] [/BOOTABLE | /FULLSIZE]


  where  /D:n  denotes the  number  of  the drive  (/D:0  is  drive 0,  etc.).

  Parameter /BOOTABLE  or /FULLSIZE following /D:n  is applied to  drive n. If

  for some  drive value n  (n>0) the /D:n  parameter is omitted  the following

  parameter (/BOOTABLE  or /FULLSIZE) is  applied to the first  drive (default

  /D:0).   If parameter  /BOOTABLE or  /FULLSIZE  for some  drive is  omitted,

  /FULLSIZE is applied for this drive by default.


  If drive  is larger than 512 Gb,  then LVMUPDT package must  be installed in

  addition to the IDEDASD package to access the full drive capacity (/FULLSIZE

  option). If drive  is not larger than 512 Gb that  IDEDASD package is enough

  to access the  full drive capacity, but LVMUPDT package  may be installed in

  addition.


  3.10.1 Format Error While Installing from Updated Diskettes

  ___________________________________________________________


  If  you  get a  format  error message  while  installing  OS/2 from  updated

  diskettes, check whether you have the following line in the CONFIG.SYS:


  BASEDEV=OS2DASD.DMD /D:n /BOOTABLE


  If instead you have the line: BASEDEV=OS2DASD.DMD


  without the parameter  /BOOTABLE for the intended boot  drive /D:n, then you

  will need to:


  1) Stop your current installation of OS/2


  2) Backup any data which you intend  to preserve from the all the partitions

     on the intended boot drive /D:n which you intend to preserve


  3) Remove all the partitions on the intended boot drive /D:n


  4) Reboot 


  5) Modify your CONFIG.SYS file on the  D1 diskette to add /D:n /BOOTABLE, if

     it is not there already


  6) Restart the installation process of OS/2 from the beginning


  7) Restore backed up data to new partitions using the new logical geometry


  Since all this backing up  and restoring is typically quite inconvenient, it

  is highly advisable  to decide quite deliberately whether  or not you intend

  to use your large  drive as a boot drive before you  partition it and modify

  your  CONFIG.SYS  file  on  your  D1  diskette  accordingly,  as  previously

  documented.



  3.10.2  Installation  Process Hangs  after  Rebooting  When Installing  from

          Updated Diskettes

  ____________________________________________________________________________



  If  the installation  process  hangs after  rebooting  when installing  from

  updated diskettes, then see section  3.10.1 for possible reason and recovery

  instructions.


  4  Removable Media Support

  __________________________


  Removable media devices attach to the system by a variety of interfaces.


  IDE       Supported with the OS/2 supplied IBM1S506.ADD device driver.


  EIDE      Supported with the OS/2 supplied IBM1S506.ADD device driver.


  ATAPI     Supported with the OS/2 supplied IBMATAPI.FLT device driver.


  ATA       Supported  with  the  OS/2 supplied  IBM1S506.ADD  device  driver.

            Iomega Zip ATA drives are supported only as single partition media

            and be configured in ATA  Compatibility Mode; that is, the jumpers

            are:


                    Master             Slave

                     ?              ?                     


  SCSI      Small Computer System  Interface.  Supported with the  OS/2 device

            driver for  the SCSI controller  to which the device  is attached.

            Many SCSI drivers  are supplied with OS/2.  If  your device is not

            recognized  you must  acquire the  proper device  driver  from the

            vendor.                                                    Consult

            http://service.software.ibm.com/os2ddpak/html/diskands/index.htm.

            To ensure  correct operation with  the Adaptec 1542  SCSI adapter,

            partition sizes should always be less than 1GB.


  PP        Parallel Port attached  devices are supported with vendor-supplied

            drivers.  The device driver must  have an ".ADD" extension for the

            media to be supported  as partitioned removable.  For example, the

            Syquest  Syjet  Parallel  drive   is  properly  supported  by  the

            vendor-supplied EPST.ADD  driver, the  Iomega Zip Parallel  uses a

            vendor-supplied  *.SYS   driver  and  is  not   supported  by  the

            partitioned  removable  support, and  the  Syquest SparQ  Parallel

            Iomega ZipPlus Parallel drives have no OS/2 drivers at all.


  USB       Floppy  and  removable  media  devices  (including  CDROM,   CD-RW

            devices) are  supported with  the OS/2 supplied  USBMSD.ADD device

            driver and special CDROM class device driver USBCDROM.ADD.


  Removable media devices are supported in one of two ways.


  LARGE FLOPPY        The LS-120 / LS-240 drive.


  PARTITIONED         All other magnetic  removable media devices.  This media

                      appears as a removable hard drive.



  4.1  Partitioned Removable Media

  ________________________________


  Features of the partitioned removable media support are:


  o   Ability to partition removable media into multiple partitions


  o   Ability to format with either HPFS or FAT


  o   Ability to exploit caching performance


  o   Ability to use HPFS long file names


  o   Drag/drop capability through the Workplace drive icon


  o   Operating system protection to safely eject media through software eject

      utility


  o   Assignment  of drive  letters to  end of disk  drive lettering  chain to

      prevent floating drive letters


  o   Ability  to predetermine  a fixed number  of drive letters  for multiple

      partitions for removable media


  4.1.1  Using Protected Media


  There are some restrictions on the use of these devices.  These restrictions

  deal  with vendor-provided  protection  routines that  either read/write  or

  password protect the media.


  You are  unable to read  or write HPFS  formatted media that has  been read,

  write or  password protected by  a vendor supplied protection  utility.  For

  all read  and write protected media,  remove the vendor  protection prior to

  trying to read  or write to the  media.  For instance, if you  do not remove

  the protection, you will get the following failures:


  o   If  you issue a  DIR command to  write or password protected  media, you

      will receive a "Drive improperly stopped" error message.


  o    If you try  to FORMAT  a write  or password  protected media,  you will

      receive numerous error messages after a few minutes.


  o   If you  try to use desktop operations  like drag/drop folders/files, you

      will receive numerous error messages.


  Once the  vendor supplied protection is  removed, then these  errors will no

  longer occur.


  4.1.2  Assignment of Drive Letters


  New Algorithm: no filters assumed


     Primary from fixed disk 1

     Primary from fixed disk 2


     Primary from fixed disk n

     Extended from fixed disk 1

     Extended from fixed disk 2


     Extended from fixed disk n

     Primary from removable disk 1

     Extended(s) from removable disk 1

     Primary from removable disk 2

     Extended(s) from removable disk 2


     Primary from removable disk n

     Extended(s) from removable disk n


  Lack of a primary partition (or  Extended Partition only) is allowed.  If no

  media is  present at boot,  a single logical  drive is reported.   Note that

  some drives,  Syquest EZ135A  for example, do  NOT report correctly  when no

  media  is present  and will  not be  seen at  all.  If  media  with multiple

  partitions is  present at boot, then  all partitions will  be assigned drive

  letters.


  4.1.3  Configuring Partition Support (OS2DASD)


      BASEDEV=OS2DASD.DMD [/LF] [/MP:(disk,count)[,(disk,count)]]


  PARAMETER      DESCRIPTION


  /LF            Forces  all removable devices  to be treated as  Large Floppy

                 rather than partitioned media.


  /MP            Used  to support allocating  a predetermined number  of drive

                 letters for a partitioned  removable media device.  Note that

                 this  option only applies  to partitioned  removable devices,

                 and is ignored for any other device type.


  If the /MP parameter is used, then:


  SUB-PARAMETER  DESCRIPTION


  DISK           The integer disk number  of the device, as reported by FDISK,

                 or  the  wildcard  character  * to  specify  all  partitioned

                 removable devices.


  COUNT          The integer count of  the number of partitions to reserve for

                 the  device.   If  the  wildcard  character  *  is  used,  it

                 specifies a  default number of  drive letters to  reserve for

                 all partitioned removable devices.   Specifying a count for a

                 particular disk  will override this default.   Also, if there

                 is  media  in  the device  at  boot  time,  and it  has  more

                 partitions which  are eligible to receive  drive letters than

                 there are  drive letters reserved for the  device through the

                 /MP option, then the


                 number of drive letters reserved for the device will be

                 increased so that every eligible partition on the media will

                 have a drive letter.


  If the /MP option is not used, the rules for determining the number of drive

  letters reserved for a partitioned removable media device are as follows:


  o   If  there is no  media in the  drive at boot time,  or the media  in the

      drive has no valid partitions, then one drive letter is reserved for the

      device.


  o   If  there is media  in the drive  at boot time  and the media  has valid

      partitions which  are eligible  for drive letters,  the number  of drive

      letters  is equal to  the number  of eligible  partitions on  the media.

      Media which is formatted in floppy mode is treated as a single partition

      and allocated a single drive letter.


  4.1.4  Ejecting the Media


  OS/2 prevents  the media from being  ejected during data  transfers or while

  there are  pending file transactions.   The hardware manual eject  button is

  disabled during these times. The eject button will be enabled when the media

  can be safely ejected.


  There is a new OS/2 utility,  EJECT.EXE, that provides a command line method

  for ejecting the media.  The  Workplace Drive Icon now supports the software

  eject option  for these drives as  well. For example, the  command EJECT J:,

  where J: is the  logical drive letter of one of the  partitions on the media

  will cause the media to be ejected.


  In order for this  command to succee
