-
- This program implements the Fido/Opus/SEAdog Standard Inferface Layer
- (FOSSIL) functions for the the Tandy 2000. It is a complete implementation
- of the FOSSIL driver as defined by version 5 of the FOSSIL specification.
-
- This driver implements all 27 functions defined in the current FOSSIL
- spec. It also implements the user appendage functions (the extended
- dispatcher).
-
- The current version of this driver ignores the port number passed in DL.
- Future versions of the driver will be expanded to include support for the
- T2K 4 port serial port expansion board.
-
- T2KCOMM is upwardly compatible with the Tandy 2000 BIOS, int 14h,
- functions 0 - 4. FOSSIL function 4 is a superset of int 14h, function 4.
-
- T2KCOMM in now an installable device driver. Put T2KCOMM.SYS in your
- root directory and add the following statement to your CONFIG.SYS file:
-
- Device=T2KCOMM.SYS
-
- T2KCOMM completely replaces the standard Tandy driver for devices AUX
- and COM1, and adds a device named FOSSIL$. All i/o to these devices
- automatically is routed through the FOSSIL driver, including redirected
- console i/o.
-
- T2KCOMM has been tested fully in production use with BinkleyTerm 1.40,
- Opus 1.10.iii, and SEAdog v4.1. It has also been fully tested for
- proper operation with GT-PowerComm v13.00F and Mex-PC 1.65A with the Tandy
- 2000 overlay, which uses standard int 14h BIOS calls. The driver uses a
- 4k receive buffer and a 1k transmit buffer. The .com file contained in this
- archive was assembled with Pasm 2.0 and linked with PlinkPlus 2.2.
