History of PARnet-PC: ==================== 29-JUN-93 : Released very first version, containing only the interface description & interface testroutines. 05-JUL-93 : Fixed bug in PARKERN.ASM: When requesting odd number of bytes in a parwrite() request, or when reading odd bytes with parread() it resulted sometimes in a infinite loop. Fixed with some additional branches. Optimized PARKERN.ASM by using registers for the 'bytes left' counter. Instead of _Debugbytes, used SI in parread() and DI in parwrite(). Wrote some documentation in ParnetPC.DOC. Optimized the testing programs LISTEN,TALK,GET and added DUMP. 09-JUL-93 : Added functions ParReadV (read from Vector) and ParWriteV (write to Vector). Made the testing programs more readable, by using a struct Header. 11-JUL-93 : Release 0.2, tiny fixes in several routines. Converted the documentation into PC-ASCII (CR-LF on each end-of-line) 11-AUG-93 : Release 0.3, fixed up docs & IFF picture. Removed bug from PARKERN.ASM (see file). 31-AUG-93 : Made a mistake in the docs, when using 2 packs of pull up resistors, their values should be 8K2, not 2K2. Optimized the PARKERN routines by using block move instructions. 02-SEP-93 : Release 0.4, eliminated the hardware interface. Now you can only connect 2 machines on the same cable. Rewrote PARKERN.ASM completely. Updated docs for V0.4.
