Jeremy James Further development: Martin J. Laubach DESCRIPTION plip.device is a SANA-II compliant (internal) parallel port network interface driver - this version is a bug fix described in the New Features section, someone who tested this for me suggested it made a 25% speed increase which I doubt since I haven't done anything to that part of the code, except compile with SAS/C 6.55, and I suspect they upgraded from an old(er than 38.11) version of plip.device but this is unknown, if you observe a speed increase due to this version of plip.device please post in comp.sys.amiga.networking. NEW FEATURES S2_DEVICEQUERY command now respects the correct usage of the SizeAvailable & SizeSupplied fields of the Sana2DeviceQuery structure passed to the S2_DEVICEQUERY command. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS A working internal parallel port, cable made as described in the docs and a SANA-II compliant Networking Package such as Envoy. AVAILABILITY Aminet ftp://ftp.wustl.edu/pub/aminet/comm/net/plip3812.lha (7760) ftp://ftp.wustl.edu/pub/aminet/comm/net/plip3812src.lha (23636) PRICE, DISTRIBUTABILITY & OTHER LEGAL STUFF While Oliver & Michael were supporting plip.device it was considered Shareware but I (and someone else I know working on plip.device) have tried mailing both of them without success. They have also released the source to Aminet so I guess they've placed it in the Public Domain (I remember one of them talking about releasing it under a GNU license while the ADSP network was alive).
