Windows NT Information
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you are running the program under WindowsNT please follow the
instructions below to install the GIVIO.SYS driver. This is required
in order to allow Mimic to directly communicate with the radio card!
FM Radio functions have not been completely tested under Windows NT.
You may experience problems. Please report your results (positive or
negative) to me at: sgray@acs.ryerson.ca
Using the GIVEIO.SYS driver with Windows NT
-------------------------------------------
GIVEIO.SYS was authored by Dale Roberts. The source for this program
can be found on many web sites under the archive file name of
DIRECTIO.ZIP.
GIVEIO.SYS allows NT applications to access I/O ports directly. It
should be used with some caution.
The first step to using GIVEIO.SYS is to load the driver. NT allows
dynamic loading of device drivers. The program INSTDRV.EXE included
with this package will perform the dynamic loading for you. INSTDRV
runs from a command prompt window and takes two command line arguments.
The first argument is the name of the driver, GIVEIO, and the second
argument is the path the driver file, GIVEIO.SYS. The path of the
driver file is dependent on where you place the files from this
package. For example, if you place the contents of this package into a
directory called C:\CBI_IO, your command line to load the GIVEIO driver
would be as follows,
INSTDRV GIVEIO C:\CBI_IO\GIVEIO.SYS
You will need to run this each time you boot your machine, unless you
direct NT to automatically load the driver at boot time through the
DRIVERS icon in the Control Panel.
Once the GIVEIO device driver is properly installed in your system, you
will be able to successfully run the TSTIO.EXE program included in this
package.
