2007-06-25 14:24:15 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [ecomstation.ru]

Do you have clear examples how to use Dive, VMAN, fullscreen? We are ready publish this information and distribute it among all developers of eComStation applications.

Week of Multi core computers

2007-06-21 21:24:17 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [ecomstation.ru]

The twenty fifth week of 2007 is dedicated to collection of info about compatible/non-compatible SMP-computers (motherboards and notebooks). Our database contains 330 records only... Major part of the models are not manufactured anymore. Post new reports using the web-form.

If you have posted reports in the past then check them again, add to comments, which switches do you use with ACPI driver? Which parameters did you changed in BIOS setup?

2007-06-17 01:05:56 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [ecomstation.ru]

1eCo Labs is a fund aimed to attract new developers to eComStation. We are trying share the income with developers; stimulate the development of new PM-controls and libraries. Moreover, we are going update the portal for developers and enrich it with links and libraries.


Check your subscription to eComStation

2007-06-13 16:31:03 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [ecomstation.ru]

Check the terms of your subscription before the summer vacations. Prolong the subscription in advance to economize the money. The software subscription gives you access to Panorama VESA, ACPI and JFS updates.

Select your local reseller, inform him about your requirements till 2009


Join testing of CUPS + Gutenprint + ESP Ghostscript available

2007-06-11 16:02:16 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [ecomstation.ru, Paul Smedley]

I've just uploaded a package consisting of CUPS 1.2.11 + ESP Ghostscript 8.15.4 + Gutenprint 5.1.2

This combination should allow printing on OS/2 & eComStation with printers that have not previously had drivers for our favourite OS - see the listing for details

The package can be downloaded from SVN site, Also at that site are some directions on how to use the package.

Assuming success with the directions at that site, people could also try Bart's cups port driver in order to be able to print from existing OS/2 applications using CUPS

As usual, feedback is appreciated to either paulDESPAM@DESPAMsmedley.info or to the ecups mailing list

Cheers,

You are right, the cost of the trip to Amsterdam may be very high for you. 300 EURO.. 500 EURO.. 1000 EURO.. or more.

What is the reason to spend so much money?

1. Read the list of presentations. Are you ready invest the money to learn new technologies and obtain this knowledge?

2. Are you going make a presentation?

The workshop is a good chance to

  • share your libraries with other developers;
  • learn new eComStation technologies and share the knowledge with other developers;
  • present own concept of OS development;
  • inform developers which software and drivers should be created;

3. Moreover, the visit of the conference gives you:

  • Intercourse
    • You are meeting with other users and developers from different countries, different cultures;
    • If you are a developer, then you are meeting with your clients. Ask them what do they need;
    • Meet the users from your city and region. The conference may help you create Local User Group;
    • Get fresh news and secret information while chatting.
  • Income
    • The visit of the Netherlands is good for your experience, you can see how dutch people are working, why they are so productive.
    • You are collecting information what is the trend of OS/2 development. This helps you safe the efforts and don't spend then time to fake goals after return to home.
    • If you are a designer then watch the design of dutch houses, clothes, banners
    • Improve your english(/deutch/dutch), no need to buy tutorials of english language
    • You are mobilizing while preparing for the conference. You are generating more ideas, more code while preparing for D-Day.

  • Vacations
    • If you don't have a report then interpret the trip as short summer vacations
    • Amsterdam is a good place for shopping

USB Tools homepage updated

2007-06-06 18:14:37 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [ecomstation.ru]

Welcome to USB Tools homepage

There are useful tricks and tips from Robert Lalla there, for example how to improve USB 2.0 read performance (Common USB FAQ).

Read the feedback from testers:

  • User 1: With that patch I can improve read speed of large files from a high performance USB stick (Buffalo Firestix "R") from 16MB/s upto 32MB/s on an Intel dualcore system or upto 25MB/s on an older AthlonXP/VIA system. For comparision: Manufacturer says "read 32MB/s" and independent benchmarks from computer magazines on Windows say 25MB/s or 27MB/s. Unfortunately that patch does not help for write speed. I still measure 3.5MB/s, which is way below manufacturer's 27MB/s write specification, or results from other OS.
  • User 2: Intel ICH8: I had performance: 3 MB/s, now I have 11.5-12..13
  • User 2: nVidia chipset - no changes
  • User 2: Intel P5B-VM 10 MB/s up to 30Мб!!!!

Please send us source code, links to USB tools and applications which are using USBCALLS.

Please inform us if you are supporting industrial USB hardware via USBECD driver.
