USB drivers update for OS/2 v12.03
In this release
===============
This release is intended to update an existing installation. The installer
will not install or change host controller drivers but it can install
certain class drivers.
This release contains the following files:
The Host Controller drivers and USB driver:
- USBEHCD.SYS (USB 2.0 EHCI hardware driver)
- USBOHCD.SYS (USB 1.x OHCI hardware driver)
- USBUHCD.SYS (USB 1.x UHCI hardware driver)
- USBD.SYS (USB driver)
The Human Interface class drivers
- USBHID.SYS (Human Interface driver)
- USBKBD.SYS (USB Keyboard driver)
- USBMOUSE.SYS (USB Mouse driver)
Some other class drivers:
- USBCOM.SYS (USB COM port and modem driver)
- USBPRT.SYS (USB printer driver)
- USBAUDIO.SYS (USB Audio driver)(16 bit)
Other files:
- USBRESMG.SYS (USBCALLS driver)
- USBCALLS.DLL (USBCALLS DLL)

Installation
============
The distribution is a self executing WarpIn package. Simply run it.
This release is intended to update an existing installation only. The
installer will not check for which host controllers you have in your system
and it will not change the host controller drivers in your config.sys.
The installer will only update the USBAUDIO driver if it is already
installed.
The installer will only update the USBXHCD driver if it is already
installed and you have XHCI hardware in your system.
On the Packages page, make sure you select and/or deselect the drivers you
want and/or don't want to update. Many driver are a matched set and cannot
be updated individually. For this reason matched drivers are grouped into
packages and cannot be selected individually.
USBRESMG.SYS and USBCALLS.DLL are a matched set and must be the same version.
There are many different old versions of USBRESMG.SYS and USBCALLS.DLL
distributed with various other packages. If you are having problems with the
USBCALLS interface, make sure that you are not using mismatched versions.
Beware of other versions of USBCALLS.DLL in your LIBPATH or current directory.
Note that from version 11.01, the usbcalls library was reorganized to try to
merge the functionality from all the different versions and create a universal
interface. A few versions were incompatible and those incompatible interfaces
were discarded in favor of the more capable, more popular modern ones. If your
application is very old or was linked with an incompatible library, you will
need to relink your application with the new library.
The version 12.x drivers require USBD.SYS to load before the HC drivers in
CONFIG.SYS. This is different than the old 11.x drivers. The Warpin installer
changes the CONFIG.SYS if necessary.

Requirements, Limitations, and Known Problems
=============================================
If a device is plugged into a root hub and powers up in an inoperative
state, or if the BIOS puts the device into an inoperative state, the device
will not work until it is repowered (ie. plugged in after bootup). This
applies to any type of device, but especially hubs and KVM switches when a
non-compliant device is plugged into them. This is a hardware limitation,
not a driver defect. This problem exists on all other platforms as well.
The OS/2 USB audio driver in this release is developed to support any
USB audio device that follows USB Audio device class 1 specifications.
To use this driver you must have the following prerequisites:
1. A USB audio device that conforms to the class 1 specification.
2. Basic USB support must be installed (HC driver, USBD).
3. Multimedia services must be installed.
4. The USBAUDIO driver must have already been installed in order
to be updated by this release.
