Sandy, some USB devices are supported, some aren't.
(I've found that with hubs, etc., for example.) There
is an OS/2 + USB site in Europe that will have an
extensive list of them, plus much other USB-related
info. Sorry, can't access where I saved the URL for
this right now, but a Google search on those two
keywords should bring it up.

There are 3 possible USB chipsets that I'm aware of,
and I believe eCS can support (at least) two of them.
It would likely be helpful to know upfront which USB
chipsets your laptop has, as that will affect the
Config.Sys lines. You can query the hardware for this
info with the PCI sniffer util. available on Hobbes.
I think it is PCI049VK, or something close to that.

HTH.
