Glad you can hit the right target, I've tried several different kind
of USB flash or card reader (multi), they got different /P depends on
mainboard or BIOS.

Thanks for feedback, your experience will surely help others.

2005-09-02 Thread Eric Twose
On Eric Auer's advice I changed the i/o address to device=usbaspi0.sys 
/P=A000 so that it's "more out of the way from old ISA address space". 
usbaspi seems quite happy with this.


Best Wishes,
Eric Twose.

2005-09-02 Thread Eric Twose

Hi Johnson,

Many thanks to you and to Eric Auer. The flash drive now works using the 
oldest controller (usbaspi0.sys) from the usb driver disk on Johnson's site

   http://johnson.tmfc.net/freedos .

I tried my luck and added /V /P=0A00 and the device fired up straight away.

Eric Auer's pcisleep
   http://www.coli.uni-saarland.de/~eric/stuff/soft/
was useful in showing details of the pci usb controller from DOS, as were 
throttle.exe /p :

   http://www.oldskool.org/pc/throttle/
and also Craig's pci diagnostic software:
   http://members.datafast.net.au/dft0802/downloads.htm

Thanks indeed for your help Eric, Johnson and Blair. It's greatly 
appreciated, as I absolutely hate getting stuck when set a challenge.


Best Wishes,
Eric Twose.

Thanks to you and also to Eric for his ideas off list.

It looks like the BIOS isn't assigning an I/O port and your web page has 
this crucial information (the laptop's bios editing facilities are woefully 
sparse):


<<
4) In some PC, UHCI's I/O port is not assigned by BIOS.
In this case, specify I/O port by /P option.

/P=xxx0 : UHCI I/O address




I'm not sure how to use "/P=xxx0", Johnson. Do I enter "device=usbapsiX.sys 
/p=0" as I only have one usb drive?


Best Wishes and thanks again!
Eric Twose.

2005-09-02 Thread Eric Twose

Joihnson's Lam's web site states:

<<

In this case, specify I/O port by /P option.

/P=xxx0 : UHCI I/O address




Sorry, Johnson: just realized that what I need is to assign an i/o ADDRESS. 
Windows uses I/O 10C0 - 10DF. So am I safe to use usbaspiX.sys /P=10C0 ? How 
do I know that the start address is safe / won't conflict with other 
devices?


Best Wishes,
Eric.

Johnson, I have the same problem Eric has, with my PNY
512mb thumb drive.  I tried every possible driver
combination from your disk, and nothing worked.

USBASPI.SYS works fine with my 128 mb lexar drive on
the same platform.  The PNY drive is supposed to be
backwards compatible to USB 1.l.  I guess some of
these drives just don't work with the current DOS
drivers.

I've found that some strange chipset(?) refuse the latest USBASPI. SYS
(2.2), so try 2.06 or 1.x

Duse 4.9 reports that no drives have been assigned. A third method would
perhaps be to use Iomega Guest (which I have) with aspiuhci.sys (for USB
1.1, aspiehci for 2), but I can't find a free source for the latter.


Blair replied:

Try getting the version of usbaspi.sys official from panasonic (linked

Hi, thanks for that. Yes, I've downloaded the aspi manager usbaspi.sys from 
Panasonic and tried it with the driver di1000dd.sys, having visited 
http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=10215 .


config.sys included the lines:
   device= ... himem.sys
   device= ... emm386.sys
   dos=high,umb
   device= ... usbaspi.sys
   device= ... di1000dd.sys

With switch /e (v2) or /o ("newer v1.x"), the controller was not found.

Without switches or with /u ("older v1.x"), the controller was found but it 
reported: "ERROR: UHCI I/O port not assigned" (which is hopeful) and because 
of this, the driver then reported "UHCI/OHCI/EHCI host controller not 
found." and could not proceed.


The laptop has an Intel 430TX chipset and in Windows successfully uses an 
"Intel82371AB/EB PCI to USB Universal Host Controller" uhcd.sys. There are 
no USB options in BIOS. Though the stick is usb v2, the port is v1.x, most 
likely "older 1.x".


As I said, I've also tried Duse 4.9 but no drive letter was assigned. And 
though I have a copy of Iomega Guest, I haven't found a free source of 
aspiuhci.sys (it's said to come with Ghost).


Anyhow, thanks again Blair. Any ideas, anyone?

Best Wishes,
Eric T.
