IBM has added the following two ThinkCentre models as supported to the
OS/2 Device Driver Pak Online site. I don't see any OS/2 drivers listed
in the ThinkCentre device driver matrix (see URL below) for either model,
but I assume the standard OS/2 drivers work for most components.

"If you are having trouble getting to your data on your JFS partition you
can try and recover/undelete your data with Jrescuer. If you encounter the
rare problem that during a CHKDSK your machine keeps hanging there you can
"unlock" the JFS partition with Jrescuer. In case of an emergency you can
also recover data from a JFS volume even if you don't have JFS.IFS loaded
(the file system driver). You just need to have the file ujfs.dll in your
LIBPATH. This utility can also be used on Linux JFS partitions. It is
however a native OS/2/eComStation program that will not run on Linux.
If you have been able to recover your data from a drive and you would like
to support this project extra you can purchase a sponsor unit. 100% of the
money will be transfered to the developer."

[Moderator note: Guess this is IBM's latest ploy to drive OS/2 users away.
No URL to download the driver and they don't mention what version of Omni
this is which has this supported printer. Serenity has version Version:
30.817 on their file download site with a last update of 07-04-2004, but I
don't see an HP cp1700 listed in there.]

"Printer Supported by the IBM OS/2 PrinterPak
Thank you for your interest in the IBM OS/2 PrinterPak device driver.
The OS/2 device driver for the printer you have chosen is available only
by contacting IBM OS/2 Technical Support. To receive this driver, you or
your company must have an active contract for Passport Advantage with
Software Maintenance.
For U.S. customers entitled to technical support, the driver can be
obtained by calling 1-800-IBM-SERV (1-800-426-7378) to open a problem
record (PMR). Inform the Service Coordinator that you want to receive the
latest IBM OS/2 PrinterPak.
For non-U.S. customers, contact the IBM Support Center in your country and
request the latest IBM OS/2 PrinterPak.
If you have purchased an active contract for Passport Advantage with
Software Maintenance, the terms and conditions of that contract will
determine what services, if any, you are entitled to with respect to the
IBM OS/2 PrinterPak.
Please be prepared to provide the following information when speaking with
the Service Coordinator:
1. Name of the Printer for which the IBM OS/2 PrinterPak is required.
2. Type of IBM OS/2 PrinterPak device driver that is required. Your
choices are:
* LaserJet driver

the IBM OS/2 PrinterPak can install on prior versions of OS/2 Warp Server
for e-business, OS/2 Warp 4, or OS/2 Warp 3, we recommend that you use the
later Convenience Package products in order to receive any entitled
service and support. Refer to the OS/2 Defect Support information in the
OS/2 Strategy ."

Forwarded message from Brad BARCLAY on
Tue, 17 Aug 2004 02:36:09 UTC Posted on: comp.os.os2.misc
Hey Everyone:
Here's a copy of the announcement I posted to the jSyncManager Open
mailing list earlier today:
"The jSyncManager is a open source, Java implementation of a
HotSync-compatible protocol stack, set of data abstraction objects,
development tools, and applications allowing developers and end-users to
synchronize Palm devices with any Java based system."
----------
This notice is to let you know that the jSyncManager v3.2 alpha 02 has
been released.
New items in this release include:
- the ConduitHandler and JHotSync classes now provide support for
accessing the Expansion Manager and VFS data, making access to data and
files on expansion cards possible.
- vCard support has been updated
- the MultiPort Server now supports TCP sync connections
- New jConduit: NetInstaller, which allows for the installation of PRC
and PDB files from over a network through a URL.
- Protocol stack support for CMP Extended packets (necessary to
eventually support "Network HotSync" compatibility)
- Re-arranged the location of some of the data conversion utility classes
from API.Protocol.Util to API.Conduit.Tools
- Modification to the way we do type conversions to enhance performance
- Added a work-around for restoring the Graffiti Shortcuts database.
- Lots of other fixes and performance enhancements.
Also new with this release are with the jSyncManager Bundles, which see
the following changes:
- There is now a platform-neutral bundle, which includes all of the
pre-requisites for the jSyncManager other than the transport APIs (which
are platform specific). This bundle is now runnable as-is; just unzip
and run "java -jar jsyncmanager.jar". You no longer have to copy any
files to your Standard Extensions directory, or to edit your CLASSPATH.
- The Mac OS X bundle now includes all available pre-requisites. (There
is no Java USB API for Mac OS X at this time, and thus this isn't
included. But we're working on it).
- New bundles will be coming soon!
As usual, questions or comments may be directed to this mailing list, or
sent to me at infoDESPAM@jsyncmanager.org.
----------
Of particular interest to OS/2 users, I've started putting together
"bundles" containing everything you need to run the jSyncManager on
various platforms. Today I uploaded one for Mac OS X (because it
actually has a tool to create such Java application bundles -- something
I really wish we had on OS/2!), and one platform neutral one (which
doesn't contain any of the transport connector APIs required to talk to
a serial or USB port). Later this week I intend to put together an OS/2
bundle containing the jSerial API and all other necessary libaraies in a
ready-to-run configuration.
More information on this release when it's available. Until then, if
you're already running the jSyncManager, the v3.2 alpha 02 files are now
available for download from the jSyncManager website
(http://www.jsyncmanager.org).
Brad BARCLAY
Lead Developer & Project Administrator,
The jSyncManager Project.
