Short: Serial.device for diskport. V1.1a Author: sichler@rumms.uni-mannheim.de (Stefan Sichler) Uploader: sichler@rumms.uni-mannheim.de (Stefan Sichler) Type: comm/net This is a serial.device compatible driver for use with the diskport. It is some kind of >>cheap<< AmigaLink like device with only little 74xx one-chip hardware required that can be easily built by everybody. Features: - Up to 31KB/sec on accelerated Amigas - Up to 6KB/sec on old Amiga 500 with LITTLE CPU USAGE - diskserial.device hardware can be used along with floppies - up to 4 Amigas can be linked to one diskport History: V1.1a --------------------------------------------------------- MAXIMA MEA CULPA MAXIMA MEA CULPA MAXIMA MEA CULPA When I removed all debugging code from diskserial.device V1.1 for the Aminet, I removed a part of the transmission protocol (sender) by mistake, so that V1.1 DID NOT WORK. In this version, I removed the appropriate parts on receiver side, so that V1.1a should work now, but the transmission will be a bit insecure. There will be a bugfixed V1.2 version soon. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 3563 1228 65.5% 27-Apr-97 13:31:52 diskserial.info 9784 5418 44.6% 14-Apr-97 23:08:26 +cable.iff 10884 5851 46.2% 25-May-97 19:33:54 +diskserial.device 1196 966 19.2% 27-Apr-97 13:31:48 +diskserial.device.info 10119 4048 59.9% 25-May-97 19:48:26 +diskserial.guide 3185 1614 49.3% 27-Apr-97 13:31:48 +diskserial.guide.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 38731 19125 50.6% 27-May-97 03:08:12 6 files
