USBMOUNTD is a utility for automatic mounting of the USB media devices
in OS/2 LVM. Upon plugging a new device to the PC USBMOUNTD automatically
updates the list of the accessible removable media in OS/2 and assigns
a corresponding drive letter. If USB drive file system is dirty USBMOUNTD
can check it. |

The purpose of this driver is to show all connected USB devices
with exception of USB Hubs to the system. It allows to view the USB
Device Report and can thereby help a developer to see how a device
registers at the system and try to find reasons why a certain device
which should run with installed drivers doesn't or the development
of new drivers. Excellent tool for USB driver developers or for curious
people like us ;) |

This presentation was showed by Marcus at WarpStock 2000. It's a
great explanation of the USB driver files and how they are orientated...
This could help you on your starting point of making a USB driver
for OS/2. |

Some notes:
- OS/2 CHL web site is UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES responsible for possible and
eventual damage to your system or any form of loss of data;
- What driver you choose if completely your decision. However, OS/2 CHL hardware
testing team recommends to use the very latest IBM device drivers. We also
recommend to update the integrated device drivers of convenience Packages
1 and 2 (both ACP and MCP), and also of eCS 1.1. The latest official IBM device
drivers can also be downloaded via eComStation.com's download section, if
you have a valid login and password;
This symbol means you
can only download this driver and use if legally if you have either a valid
SoftWare Choice or PassPort Advantage Subscription from IBM or if you have
a valid login and password to access the ecomstation.com download section;
This symbol has two specific
meanings:
- if it is displayed with an IBM device driver, than that device driver
is outdated and only offer limited performance or device support. OS/2
CHL Technical Support Services are NOT dealing with USB requests when
you use these device drivers. Generally, these drivers only make your
old USB hardware run, not the newest devices;
- if it is displayed with an unofficial patch or device driver, then that
means that there can be a limited functionality due to beta status of
the driver, or due to a short on technical details;
- Trademark and copyright information about these device drivers can be found
in the copyrights page, or is provided directly where appropriate.
