DSP100.SYS

Quatech DSP-100 PCMCIA Dual RS-232 Serial Port driver.

DEVICE=x:\path\DSP100.SYS COM3

or

DEVICE=x:\path\DSP100.SYS (port_number,base_address,irq)

• No spaces should appear inside the parentheses.
• The base_address is a hexadecimal value that must end with 0.
• The DSP-100 requires 16 bytes of I/O space, starting with the base address.
• The first port resides in the first 8 bytes, the second in the next 8 bytes.
• The irq is a decimal value from 2 to 15.

Parameters

Optional

=Sx

Tie a COM port to a particular socket

Replace the 'x' with the socket number. In the examples below, a DSP-100 in socket 1 will always be configured as COM3 and COM4, and a DSP-100 in socket 2 will always be configured as COM8 and COM9. Using this option means that only one configuration will be tried for a given socket.

Examples:

DEVICE=x:\path\DSP100.SYS COM3=S1 COM8=S2
DEVICE=x:\path\DSP100.SYS (3,110,4)=S1 (8,300,3)=S2

Examples

Method 1

Let OS/2 PCMCIA Plug-and-Play choose hardware settings You provide a list of COM port numbers, separated by spaces. When a DSP-100 is inserted, the client driver will configure the card for two COM ports, starting with the lowest available port number in the list.

DEVICE=x:\path\DSP100.SYS COM3

The client driver's first and only choice is to configure the DSP-100 to use COM3 and COM4. Only one DSP-100 can be used.

DEVICE=x:\path\DSP100.SYS COM3 COM5

The client driver's first choice is to configure the DSP-100 to use COM3 and COM4. The second choice is to use COM5 and COM6. Up to two DSP-100s can be used.

Method 2

You specify the hardware settings

You provide a list of combinations of COM port hardware settings, separated by spaces. When a DSP-100 is inserted, the client driver will configure the card for two COM ports with the settings given for the lowest available port number in the list.

You must ensure that the hardware settings you choose are not being used by other devices in your system, or the DSP-100 will not be configured.

Examples:

DEVICE=x:\path\DSP100.SYS (3,110,5)

The client driver's first and only choice is to configure the DSP-100 for COM3 (I/O addresses 110-117 hex) and COM4 (I/O addresses 118-11F hex), using IRQ 5. Configuration will fail if any of these resources are already in use. Only one DSP-100 can be used.

DEVICE=x:\path\DSP100.SYS (3,300,4) (5,110,15)

The client driver's first choice is to configure the DSP-100 for COM3 (I/O addresses 300-307 hex) and COM4 (I/O addresses 308-30F hex), using IRQ 4. The second choice is to configure the DSP-100 for COM5 (I/O addresses 110-117 hex) and COM6 (I/O addresses 118-11F hex), using IRQ 15. Up to two DSP-100s can be used.
