The Archos Jukebox Recorder is a portable MP3 player which may also be used as an external USB harddisk. The device is USB mass storage class compliant and uses FAT32 as the filesystem. This HowTo describes a way to use this player with OS/2. For eCS users things are slightly different because of LVM. If you run eCS make sure to read the documentation of DaniDASD. The solution described here isn't perfect yet but at least it works for me ;-).
Follow the instructions given in the documentation coming with daniDASD. You'll end with the following line in your CONFIG.SYS:
[...] REM BASEDEV=OS2DASD.DMD BASEDEV=DANIDASD.DMD [...]
Install the FAT32-IFS by adding the following lines to your config.sys and copying the helper programs cachef32.exe, monitor.exe and f32stat.exe to a directory on your path and the DLLs to a directory on LIBPATH.
[...] IFS=D:\OS2\FAT32.IFS /EAS CALL=D:\OS2\CACHEF32.EXE [...]
It's not necessary to install partfilt.flt because DaniDASD already helps OS/2 to recognize FAT32.
[...] BASEDEV=CWUSBUHC.SYS /V <-- Driver for UHCI chipsets. For OHCI chipsets use CWUSBOHC.SYS. BASEDEV=CWUSBD.SYS /REQ:USBUHCD$,USBOHCD$,USBEHCD$,CWUSBUHC$ BASEDEV=CWUSBMSD.ADD /V /FLOPPIES:0 /REMOVABLES:1 /FIXED_DISKS:0 /FORCE_TO_REMOVABLE [...]
If you already have the USB base drivers (USBUHCI.SYS/USBOHCI.SYS, USBD.SYS) installed only add the mass storage driver CWUSBMSD.ADD.
Now reboot so the new drivers are loaded.
Before disconnecting the device make sure to "eject" it using the eject command! This will write the cache contents to the drive if not yet done.
