[Freedos-user] Fwd: Announcement: New DOS USB Drivers
Anyone these days using UHCI? -- Forwarded message -- From: Bret Johnson bretj...@juno.com Date: Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 6:49 AM Subject: Announcement: New DOS USB Drivers To: bretj...@juno.com Good day to you. My name is Bret Johnson, and I write DOS TSR programs. I am sending this e-mail to you because you have contacted me in the past regarding at least one of my DOS programs, and I thought you might be interested in knowing that I have just released some DOS USB drivers for testing. These drivers are completely different (and hopefully better) than any other DOS USB drivers that are currently available. There are drivers for USB keyboards, mice, joysticks, printers, and disk drives. Unfortunately, the the drivers have some limitations, and may not work with your current hardware. They host drivers will currently only work with USB host controllers that use the UHCI protocol, which are made by Intel and Via Technologies. Support for other host controller manufacturers will be added in the future. If you're interested, please go to my web site (http://bretjohnson.us), download the files, and let me know what you think. If you're not interested, I apologize for the inconvenience. Please let me know if you want me to remove you from my contact list regarding DOS programs. Thank you very much, Bret Johnson http://bretjohnson.us -- ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

Bonnie, I see in his page that the source code is provided, but would you know what the license may be? Also can someone give some feedback on how they are working for you? Thanks! Aitor 2009/7/1 Bonnie Dalzell bdalz...@qis.net: When I was doing some help type work tracking down documentation and sources utilities for Freedos I wrote this programmer about some of his drivers - so he forwarded this announcement to me about his new DOS USB drivers. I hope this is of interest to the Freedos community. ~~~ Bonnie Dalzell, MA mail:5100 Hydes Rd PO Box 60, Hydes,MD,USA 21082-0060|EMAIL:bdalz...@qis.net freelance anatomist, vertebrate paleontologist, writer, illustrator, dog breeder, computer nerd iconoclast...

Also can someone give some feedback on how they are working for you? I am not sure about the license but the author's address is in the forwarded e-mail so he could be asked directly. I am not a power freedos user, I use it to allow me to run an old pedigree program in an xdosemu window under Linux. However I try to help with the project in a limited way. The drivers are free to download so including the address to them in freedos information would give access to a useful tool even if they could not be included in the freedos distro. Thanks!

Re: [Freedos-user] Fwd: Announcement: New DOS USB Drivers
Anyone these days using UHCI? Yes. PCs are randomly distributed as UHCI and OHCI, acording to chip-set manufacturer. Plus, EHCI (for USB 2.0) coexists with UHCI/OHCI. Older USB drivers usually work with USB 2.0 hardware as well, just not as fast.

Anyone these days using UHCI? Yes. PCs are randomly distributed as UHCI and OHCI, acording to chip-set manufacturer. unlikely. while O/UHCI is certainly fast enough for keyboards/mice/printers(?), noone want to have different USB ports in he same computer plug your USB stick/external disk/DVD-ROM into an OHCI/UHCI port, and you will be VERY dissatisfied with transfer rates. so I doubt that any PC younger then 5 years still has O/UHCI only ports just my 2 cents Tom -- ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

Re-phrasing: all I have seen hav EHCI, but over randomly U/OHCI. Do you agree with this?
