If you think you’ve got a device with the Kawasaki KLSI5USB101b chip, try it 

out.  To get the manufacturer and device IDs, use the USB Recourse Manager, 

available via Netlabs.  How to install and configure this utility? 

·

 

Unzip the usbres.zip into x:\os2, where x is the driver on which OS/2 is 

installed; 

·

 

Add the statement “DEVICE=c:\os2\usbresmg.sys” to your 

CONFIG.SYS; 

·

 

Reboot your system; 

·

 

From an OS/2 prompt type 

usbres

·

 

Now you will get a listing of devices attached to your computer’s USB 

port(s); 

·

 

Right-click the device and choose 

the option 

View Device Report;

 

·

 

A small windows now opens and lists 

all technical information.  From here, 

you can also see the IDs

works or not.  If the manufacturer assured you 

that the Kawasaki chip is used, contact OS/2 CHL 

Helpdesk.
