[Moderator note: Correction: Note that the URL to request a Demo CD was incorrect. The Correct URL is www.ecomstation.com/democd ]

 

Hello everybody,

Mensys B.V. has released a new eCS 2.2 beta live CD yesterday. This
replaces the first eCS 2.2 beta live CD released in February of this
year. We would like everybody to test this new demo CD and report succes
and/or problems via //supportteam@ecomstation.com

Bug fixes in this demo CD:

* New USB stack that should fix people who have problems with mouse and
USB keyboard not working. Please let us know if this new now works for
you, especialy if previous versions of the eCS 2.2 live and install CD
did not work for you!

* The danis506.add and os2ahci.add driver have been updated to fix
problems and regressions in the danis506.add driver.

* Problems with loading the NIC driver under Virtual PC should be fixed
now also (it would hang).

* People who reported hangs at startup on the network card setup
program, this hang is also fixed.

On some systems the supported NIC driver is not yet properly detected
and loaded yet. We are still working on this.

This new demo CD contains the latest USB stack version 10.192. Which
should fix most problems with USB mouse and keyboard not working.
You can download a copy of the new demo CD via

Status update of eCS 2.2 retail product GA (final version)

eComStationNews.com - Wed, 20130515 - 07:31 -0600

Most of the critical bugs reported by customers have been resolved. The
CUPS installer works better. Most OS2AHCI, DANIS506.ADD and USB stack
problems seem to be fixed now. People that have reported bugs have been
send private builds of the fixed drivers or private builds of the eCS
2.2 ISO to verify the bugs are fixed.

We are currently performing more testing and will release another beta
track ASAP. An exact release date of the new public beta is uncertain
as we are still waiting for feedback from some customers to verify the
bugs have been resolved.

New USB host controller drivers: usbhcd191.zip

eComStationNews.com - Fri, 20130510 - 06:15 -0600

I have updated the USB host controller drivers

USBUHCD.SYS, USBOHCD.SYS, USBEHCD.SYS, USBD.SYS (and now also: USBRESMG.SYS)
I have now placed these on hobbes.
hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/incoming/usbhcd191.zip

They will eventually make it into directory:
/pub/os2/system/drivers/misc

1) USBEHCD: setting speed (/S: switch) back to the default of 8 (if /S:
not specified). Unfortunately, a "chkdsk x: /F:3" against a HPFS
formatted stick will otherwise lead to problems.
Everyone who had problems with USBEHCD.SYS should now either run with
/S:8 or not specify /S: switch at all. You can experiment with lower
values (/S:4, /S:2, /S:1) to see if that will still work on your system.
USBMSD.ADD would need updates in order to be able to queue transmission
requests and therefore increase the throughput.
Currently it will only issue a transmission once the preceding
transmission has finished.
Other fixes were made to allow to attach USB mice and keyboard to
external USB hubs.

3) USBD: reset external USB hubs before powering on ports. This should
fix some problems where devices plugged into external hubs won't
properly attach.

4) USBRESMG, USBUHCD, USBOHCD: nothing, just increased version number

Release of eComStation 2.2 German and English

eComStationNews.com - Wed, 20130501 - 15:33 -0600

The release of eComStation 2.2 German and English GA (general availability) was planned for the second week of April. During the public beta cycle however bugs have been reported that have caused a delay in the release of eCS 2.2. Most of the bugs that have been reported with problems of the eCS installer have been resolved.

We expect another 2 to 3 weeks are needed to resolve and confirm the following issue's are fixed.

1. OS2AHCI.ADD hangs on some systems or has problem(s) detecting the
proper disk size on *some* systems.
This is currently being worked on.

2. DANIS506.ADD did not work on some systems but most issue's seem to
be resolved. We are currently waiting for feedback from people who
received access to
an internal test ISO to confirm that all reported issue's with the
DANIS506.ADD have been resolved.

3. On 10 to 15 percent of the systems USB support is not working at
all. We are currently working on tracing and fixing this.

To a large extend the above bugs have surprised us to some degree as
the OS2AHCI.ADD driver has been part of eCS 2.1. Also the updated
DANIS506.ADD driver and the OS2AHCI.ADD where tested
on more then 50 different systems Mensys had access to. The
DANIS506.ADD and OS2AHCI.ADD have been part of the new bootable eCS 2.2
demo CD released in March. This demo CD was released before he eCS 2.2
DVD was released for public testing. Also before the release of the eCS
2.2 public large disc support (up to 2TB) was also re-tested and
confirmed to work.

A new public beta might follow. However this might also not happen if
all the people who have reported bugs confirm the bugs are resolved.

Best regards,

Roderick Klein
Mensys B.V.

bitwiseworks starts new project to port Mozilla (Firefox/Thunderbird) to eCS (OS/2)

eComStationNews.com - Sun, 20130421 - 01:53 -0600

bitwiseworks has started its latest porting project, bringing an updated
Firefox and Thunderbird to the eCS (OS/2) platform.

The project will be entirely open source. Source code and progress can
be found at
https://github.com/bitwiseworks/mozilla-os2

As with previous big projects (like Qt GUI framework, Java 6, Flash)
funding is required to ensure a steady progress at a reasonal speed.
Partial funding was already provided by several companies and
individuals, with Mensys BV being the main sponsor. But in order to have
the project updated in a reasonable timeframe, we need more sponsoring.

If you are interested in sponsoring this project, please contact Silvan
Scherrer (silvan dot scherrer at bitwiseworks dot com) directly or
alternatively buy sponsoring units.
Sponsoring units may be bought at Mensys. *100%* of that money will be
transferred to the developers.

The Mensys sponsor link is: www.mensys.com/shop/NetlabsJava6

Right now we do not have a separate link for Mozilla development -
however the persons behind Java and Mozilla projects are the same,
Dmitriy Kuminov doing development and Silvan Scherrer doing project
management.

bootAble 6.9.1

eComStationNews.com - Tue, 20130409 - 03:26 -0600

Hello bootAble users,

Just to let you know I've recently released a minor update to bootAble. As always you can download it from our website <hrbaan.home.xs4all.nl/bootAble/>.


v6.9.1 (04/03/2013)

* Not trying to determine cd/dvd recorder device when creating ISO
image only (|CDRECORDCREATEISOONLY|), this should prevent
unnecessary errors from e.g., the scanbus command.
* Minor adaptations for VirtualBox (thanks to Lothar Soens);
* Added a notes about VirtualBox in the Known Problems/Limitations
<hrbaan.home.xs4all.nl/bootAble/bootAble.html>
section.


Have fun,
Hayo

P.S. If you don't want to receive news about updates to bootAble (e.g., you stopped using it), just let me know and I'll remove your email address from the list.
