Disclaimer of Warrenty
----------------------

Users of this software must accept this disclaimer of warranty: "This
software is supplied AS IS. Mark Becker disclaims all warranties, expressed
or implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of merchantability
and of fitness for any purpose. Mark Becker assumes no liability for
damages, direct or consequential, which may result from the use of this
software."
Purpose
-------

Write a disk image file to a floppy disk.
Equipment/Software Requirements
-------------------------------

* PC/XT/AT or 100% compatible with at least 256K of RAM and a floppy disk
drive.

* MS-DOS version 3.21 or greater.

* A formatted diskette.

This program uses well-documented generic low-level DOS and BIOS functions.
It should run on nearly every PC in existance. PS/2's should be able to run
RaWrite but this has not been tested.

CAVEAT
------

This program will write ANY disk file to a floppy, overwriting any previous
information that may have been present. If you wish to re-use a diskette
that has been written to by RaWrite then that diskette will probably need to
be reformatted; all MS-DOS specific information will have been erased.
Usage
-----

C> RAWRITE

And follow the prompts. All arguments are case-insensitive.

If the source and destination drives are the same, RaWrite will ask the user
to swap diskettes as required. Rawrite allocates a large buffer in RAM to
reduce the number of disk swaps.

RaWrite may be aborted at any time by typing ^C or CTRL-Break.

6546.zipSUBJECT: DOS INT14 & FOSSIL Driver readme.txt
for Comtrol(TM) RocketPort(R) Series Controllers
DRIVER: 6546 (RCKTFOSS.EXE, RFSMALL.EXE, RFMULTI.EXE)
VERSION: 1.71
REVISED: 12/15/97

OVERVIEW
======================================
RCKTFOSS is a DOS terminate-stay-resident (TSR) program that
provides a software interface for controlling RocketPort serial
cards. The "FIDO/Opus/SEAdog Standard Interface Layer" (FOSSIL)
has been a longtime standard for connecting BBS software to
multiport serial cards. INT14 BIOS functions are also supported
with the -j option.

RCKTFOSS requires a approximately 60K of memory and can
be loaded into high memory using the DOS 'loadhigh' command.
A non-buffered version, RFSMALL, is included which takes only
24K of memory. RFMULTI is another version which will work with
multiple RocketPort cards.

HELP
======================================
This driver includes command line help. To access help,
type RCKTFOSS -H at the DOS command line and press Enter.

LOADING THE DRIVER
======================================
To load the driver, issue the following DOS command line from
either the DOS prompt or a batch file:

[loadhigh] rcktfoss [-option -option]

Example: rcktfoss -p180 -c3 -l38400 -mn8

The options are explained in detail following the QUICKSTART.

QUICKSTART
======================================
Here are some typical driver configurations:

rcktfoss.exe -p180 -c3 -mn8
Multiport setup for ISA-bus RocketPort. This supports 8 ports
starting at COM3 (FOSSIL & INT14 Port:2). The RocketPort base
address is 180H.

rcktfoss.exe -b -c3 -mn8 -l38400
Multiport setup for PCI-bus RocketPort. This supports 8 ports
starting at COM3 (FOSSIL Port:2). Baud Rates will be locked
at 38400 for all ports.

rcktfoss.exe -p180 -c1
Single port setup for ISA-bus RocketPort. This supports 1 port
(COM1,fossil:0). It will use the first port on the RocketPort.

rcktfoss.exe -p180 -c1 -o1
Single port setup for ISA-bus RocketPort. This supports 1 port
using the 2nd port on the RocketPort board, but the program
will see it as COM1.

rcktfoss.exe -j -p180 -f0 -l9600
Single port setup for ISA-bus RocketPort using INT14 BIOS calls.
The base address is 180H, flow control is set to none (-f0),
and the baud rate is locked at 9600.

rfmulti.exe -mn24 -p180,100 -k8,16
Multiport, multiple board setup for two ISA-bus RocketPorts.
First RocketPort has 8 ports and a base I/O address of 180h,
while second RocketPort has 16 ports and a base I/O address
of 100h.

DRIVER: 6546 (RCKTFOSS.EXE, RFSMALL.EXE, RFMULTI.EXE)
VERSION: 1.71
REVISED: 12/15/97

OVERVIEW
======================================
RCKTFOSS is a DOS terminate-stay-resident (TSR) program that
provides a software interface for controlling RocketPort serial
cards. The "FIDO/Opus/SEAdog Standard Interface Layer" (FOSSIL)
has been a longtime standard for connecting BBS software to
multiport serial cards. INT14 BIOS functions are also supported
with the -j option.

RCKTFOSS requires a approximately 60K of memory and can
be loaded into high memory using the DOS 'loadhigh' command.
A non-buffered version, RFSMALL, is included which takes only
24K of memory. RFMULTI is another version which will work with
multiple RocketPort cards.

HELP
======================================
This driver includes command line help. To access help,
type RCKTFOSS -H at the DOS command line and press Enter.

LOADING THE DRIVER
======================================
To load the driver, issue the following DOS command line from
either the DOS prompt or a batch file:

[loadhigh] rcktfoss [-option -option]

Example: rcktfoss -p180 -c3 -l38400 -mn8

The options are explained in detail following the QUICKSTART.

QUICKSTART
======================================
Here are some typical driver configurations:

rcktfoss.exe -p180 -c3 -mn8
Multiport setup for ISA-bus RocketPort. This supports 8 ports
starting at COM3 (FOSSIL & INT14 Port:2). The RocketPort base
address is 180H.

rcktfoss.exe -b -c3 -mn8 -l38400
Multiport setup for PCI-bus RocketPort. This supports 8 ports
starting at COM3 (FOSSIL Port:2). Baud Rates will be locked
at 38400 for all ports.

rcktfoss.exe -p180 -c1
Single port setup for ISA-bus RocketPort. This supports 1 port
(COM1,fossil:0). It will use the first port on the RocketPort.

rcktfoss.exe -p180 -c1 -o1
Single port setup for ISA-bus RocketPort. This supports 1 port
using the 2nd port on the RocketPort board, but the program
will see it as COM1.

rcktfoss.exe -j -p180 -f0 -l9600
Single port setup for ISA-bus RocketPort using INT14 BIOS calls.
The base address is 180H, flow control is set to none (-f0),
and the baud rate is locked at 9600.

rfmulti.exe -mn24 -p180,100 -k8,16
Multiport, multiple board setup for two ISA-bus RocketPorts.
First RocketPort has 8 ports and a base I/O address of 180h,
while second RocketPort has 16 ports and a base I/O address
of 100h.

DISCLAIMER

This is not the recommended solution for multiport serial board
development. You should consider some standard solutions prior to
committing to this RocketPort specific code. Consider using Comtrol's MSDOS
INT14-FOSSIL driver which is a MSDOS TSR. The advantage here is that
other drivers for standard com-ports and other multiport products exist,
and the driver is a separate component maintained by Comtrol.
The INT14-FOSSIL driver can perform as a standard INT14 PC COMM BIOS
driver or as a more powerful INT14 FOSSIL driver. An INT14 FOSSIL
driver is an enhanced INT14-BIOS driver which
is capable of block reads and writes. The FOSSIL INT14 extensions
have been popular for BBS use. The INT14-FOSSIL driver can also be
run in multiple DOS-BOXes in a multitasking environment.
The INT14-FOSSIL driver also contains sample C code to make
your development easier.

So in other words, please DO NOT use this DOSAPI tool set if you
do not have to. Download and attempt to use the MSDOS INT14/FOSSIL
driver for MSDOS development. Download and use the Windows driver
for Windows development.

Comtrol will provide no additional development assistance with this
code. What you see is what you get. We will be happy to accept
bug reports, and to attempt to maintain this code, but we will not
offer general development assistance.

Examples:

* If the RocketPort hardware does not satisfy your needs, or
you feel it is not documentation adequately, we cannot offer
additional help. Further hardware documentation is considered
proprietary, and is not available.

* If you want to compile this code using a GUI tool set(Visual-C)
you are on your own, we will not provide assistance in doing so.

* If you need to use the HUGE memory model, we cannot provide
assistance in doing so. You are expected to have the software
expertise.

* If this code set does not function for you, it is assumed that
you have the expertise to fix it. We cannot offer direct
assistance in doing so.

DISCLAIMER, REAL TIME DEVELOPMENT

The RocketPort hardware is not a good choice for generating
event based interrupts. If you are looking for hardware which
is very proficient at generating interrupts, then look at
16550 hardware. The RocketPort hardware is geared at moving
lots of data efficiently, preferably without interrupts.
INSTALLING

To install, make a new directory and copy the DOSAPI.ZIP file into it.
Then run>PKUNZIP -D DOSAPI.ZIP
(Use the -D option to unpack the directory structure.)
This should unpack things and you should find a
SAMPLE, TEXT and BAUD directory within this directory.

To test the installation, go into the SAMPLE directory and run
TERML.EXE. The TERM.C program uses a new auto-detect feature
aaAutoConfig() which requires no installation setup. It will
perform the appropriate PCI-BIOS calls to locate any PCI boards,
and will also search for ISA-boards.

With The PCI detection now in the driver the method of loading the driver for a PCI board has been changed to 'LOAD AIORCKT PCI'. A simple terminal utility, 'RCKTTERM.NLM', has been added. It provides a way of selecting a board and a port or ports for LOOPBACK testing or a method of talking directly to a modem.
-WRD

11 Feb 99 - V5.03
Modify FINDRCKT to identify RP 4RJ, fix 32port bug.
-FABA

20 May 98 - V5.02
Recompile AIORCKT using SDK 2.0c for 3.12 compatibility. Add 56K V.90 RocketModem definitions.
Tinker with AcquirePort to reject HYPERBAUD attempts on non-HYPERBAUD (i.e., non-921) boards.
-FABA

14 Apr 98 - V5.01
NWCCON fails to complete initialization of ports associated with modems defined as 'United Kingdom' or 'United States'. Altered modem descriptions to 'UK' and 'USA'.
-FABA

1 Apr 98 - V5.00
Added international RocketModem support. Added error and info code numbers.
-FABA

9/30/97 - V4.02
This release adds support for the Ring Indicator status bit on the RocketPort Plus (921) board. It also fixes a problem with NOVELLs 'GetPortsRollCall'. It returned 0 for the 'external status' and 'changed external status' fields.
-WRD

8/13/97 - V4.01
This release is essentially the same as V4.00. It was necessary to change the revision because of the way the files are grouped when the driver is shipped. The problem was in INETCFG. It was impossible to select the HYPERBAUD option for the 921 board. This required changes to the AIORCKT.ADI file. To keep revisions straight it became necessary to rev the driver. This driver did ship on the RocketModem diskette (6550).

=====================================================================

v 5.02 - Uncomment CopyFiles directive in INF for 16 port devices in a 64-bit
installation in order that Plug-N-Play knows what driver and system
files are necessary for those devices.

v 5.01 - Change how unique device identification for devices is made in Vista
and 64 bit Windows due to Microsoft change in the PCI driver so that
correct Quad/Octa device can be identified when COM port names are
being assigned and when Property Page communicates with driver for
proper display for these devices in the Device Manager.

- Remove code from driver which frees device resources (i.e. COM names)
when removal of an existing device is requested by Plug-N-Play because
another RocketPort device is being added to the system.

v 5.00 - Initial release for 64 bit Windows OS support. 32 Bit components are
based on Windows XP/2000 Driver (A/N 18000001) version 4.74.
