• SCSI Driver
    The file name for the SCSI driver is OS2SCSI.DMD. The IDC entry point for the SCSI driver can be obtained from the AttachDD DevHlp function by using the name SCSI-02$ as the device driver name parameter.

  • IBM Device-Class Drivers
    Current device driver names used by IBM are:

      OPTICAL.SYS

        Read/Write optical device driver
      Note: Naming conflicts are possible, so try to choose unique names for your device-class drivers. In a SCSI environment, different vendor devices for the same SCSI device class can be present in one system.
    
      Message Files
      The IBM-reserved message file name for device drivers that have been developed internally is DEV002.MSG. Independent vendors must not use DEV002.MSG for their message files, because if they do, one of those message files could be destroyed during the user installation process. It is suggested that vendors choose a unique message file name by embedding part of their logo or company name in the file name; that would eliminate the possibility of having different vendor devices with the same message file name installed in the same system.
