Hi! A question about Socket Servives on OS/2 (Warp v4 on a TP760ED): On OS/2, there are 2 drivers for Socket Services: IBM2SS04.SYS is for R2-PCIC (whatever that means) IBM2SS14.SYS is for CardBus OS/2's online help tells me that "/s0=1" can be specified as a parameter in order to make the driver believe that there is only one socket to support. Same should be with "/s0=2 /IG0=2". I need this for my Xircom CreditCard Ethernet 10/100. It has a direct enabler and thus only works when it has its own slot without socket services. With /s0=1 specified, the Xircom in Socket 2 should not be touched by Socket Servies. However, it doesn't work here. I don't know exactly which of the two drivers needs the parameter, so I tried all 3 possibilities (IBM2SS04, IBM2SS14 or both) with a 3com 3c589d inserted in socket 2 (and my Adaptec 1460 in socket 1). I thought that the 3com won't work when I found the right choice. But it worked. In any case, "Plug and Play for PCMCIA" detected 2 sockets. So I replaced the 3com with the Xircom. With choice 1 (IBM2SS04), it stopped booting when loading the Xircom driver. Same with choice 2 (IBM2SS14) and 3. rem-ing out IBM2SS14 makes the Xircom work, but then the Adaptec driver fails to load. rem-ing out IBM2SS04 makes the Adaptec work, but not the Xircom. Now, is there any way to have a PnP Card in one Socket and a card with direct enabler in the other? This is the relevant part from my config.sys: -------------------------------------------------------------------- 88: BASEDEV=PCMCIA.SYS 95: rem Socket Services (R2-PCIC): 96: BASEDEV=IBM2SS04.SYS /s0=1 97: rem Socket Services (CardBus): 98: BASEDEV=IBM2SS14.SYS /s0=1 100: BASEDEV=AUTODRV2.SYS 102: DEVICE=E:\OS2\BOOT\$ICPMOS2.SYS 134: CALL=E:\OS2\CMD.EXE /Q /C E:\MPTN\BIN\MPTSTART.CMD >NUL 135: RUN=E:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL\NBTCP.EXE 136: DEVICE=E:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL\NETBEUI.OS2 137: DEVICE=E:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL\TCPBEUI.OS2 138: DEVICE=E:\IBMLAN\NETPROG\RDRHELP.200 139: IFS=E:\IBMLAN\NETPROG\NETWKSTA.200 /I:E:\IBMLAN /N 140: DEVICE=E:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL\NETBIOS.OS2 142: DEVICE=E:\IBMCOM\MACS\CE3NDIS.OS2 385: BASEDEV=OS2SCSI.DMD 386: BASEDEV=AHA152X.ADD /V -------------------------------------------------------------------- Comments are welcome. I don't know what else I could try.
