  Will this new driver support hot-plug of USB devices, like Win98 does,
or will the items need to be plugged in when the system is booted up?

All USB drivers for OS/2 support "hot-plugging".
But "on-demand" loading of device drivers is not supported.
So you need to write into config.sys the USB device drivers
for all devices that might be plugged in later at runtime.

  That sounds Similar to an external Zip drive driver works.  If I have
a USB mouse,  do I have to plug it in before the desktop appears, and if
I don't, will I get an error in the config.sys during bootup?

  So the only reason for a "blahblahblah.sys was not loaded, press enter
to continue" error to appear during bootup on a USB device is that the
USB chip on the motherboard isn't supported by the driver?

Wake up yourself, and go back to the Windows news groups, where you 
belong.

OS/2 is alive, well, AND, it still outperforms any Windows version.

Most likely. 
You might check this with rmview.exe or using the wps hardware manager object.

Subj: EverBlue betadrop

From: "Adrian Gschwend" <nospam_ktk@netlabs.org>

Today Brian Smith released the first beta of EverBlue, the XLib-PM
implementation for OS/2 which allows you to compile Xlib (Unix/Linux)
applications as native PM applications.

The beta is not really usable for endusers but developers can use it to
compile PM versions of X-Applications. There is just a small demo
included so maybe it does not make sense to download it now if you are
not a developer.

Sourcecode of this betadrop is also included in the package, just
install it. If you want to support this project you can subscribe to
the EverBlue mailinglist at Egroups, we still need a lot of support
because the project is not yet complete. I will set up a CVS server at
Netlabs as soon as we decided how to organise the structure of the
source. Informations about CVS will be posted to the EverBlue
mailinglist.

Everblue mailinglist: http://www.egroups.com/group/everblue-dev

Get the file from: (self installing exe-file)

ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/everblue/everblue.exe

BTW: I just wrote the new database backend for OS/2 Netlabs this week,
we hope to be online in about a month! There will be a lot of great
changes and the content will finnaly be much more up to date.
