Short: PCMCIA modem driver. PD w/ src. Author: pontus@tactel.se (Pontus Fuchs), caffer@cs.ucc.ie (Neil Cafferkey) Uploader: caffer cs ucc ie (Neil Cafferkey) Type: driver/other Version: 0.17 Requires: Compatible PCMCIA modem Architecture: m68k-amigaos pcmser.device - An Amiga PCMCIA Modem Driver by Pontus Fuchs and Neil Cafferkey Distribution Conditions ----------------------- You may use pcmser.device and the source in ANY way you like. Disclaimer ---------- This package is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. The authors assume no responsibility or liability whatsoever for any damage or loss of data caused by using this package. Introduction ------------ pcmser.device is a PCMCIA-modem driver for the A1200 and A600. In order to work with pcmser.device, a modem must be: - 16-bit rather than 32-bit/CardBus. - A hardware modem rather than a "WinModem". Most modems that meet these requirements should work fine, but unfortunately they are becoming increasingly uncommon. You should look for modems that work with both MS-DOS and Linux, but even this doesn't guarantee anything. Compatibility ------------- Modems reported to be compatible: Megahertz 14400bps Faxmodem, Model #CC1144-49 Intelligent 56k Fax Modem Motorola CELLect 14.4 PCMCIA Modem PSION DACOM 56K+FAX Gold Card Dynalink 1456CS Modems reported to be incompatible: Nokia GSM-card (I just get a lot of strange ints all the time) USR 16.8DS (Seems to be incompatible with the A1200's PCMCIA port) Dynalink 1456VQC-T5 3Com Megahertz 3CCEM556 B Features -------- 7-8 databits 1-2 stopbits 110-115200 BAUD CTS/RTS handshaking EOF-mode supported Not implemented: CMD_BREAK xON/xOFF handshake Installation ------------ Just copy pcmser.device to DEVS: and make sure that you don't have a program called "remcard" installed. You can help me! ---------------- Please mail me if you find bugs or find a modem which doesn't work. If the modem doesn't work test it with prepcard or "modemtest" which can be found on Aminet. History ------- v0.5 97-08-05 First aminet release. v0.6 97-08-24 Second aminet release. The SDCMD_QUERY-code was broken so CD and DSR didn't work. Added a little delay in OpenDevice() so that the modem can start up and activate its DSR. My IObase testingcode was broken so modems which has it's first configuration at $2f8 didn't work. Removed quickIO for CMD_READ. Either my code was broken or some programs can't handle quickIO for CMD_READ (ie NComm and Trapdoor). Anyway I'm to lazy to find out :) v0.7 99-11-26 Third Aminet release (first release by Neil Cafferkey). Changed code to allow modems with missing parameters to work. v0.9 00-02-08 Fourth Aminet release. Does a soft reset of the modem during device initialisation. Now returns IO_ERROR from OpenDevice(). Deallocates resources if device initialisation fails. v0.11 00-02-20 Fifth Aminet release. Doesn't soft reset the modem during device initialisation anymore. v0.15 00-09-15 Sixth Aminet release. Cards can now have up to 64kb of I/O address space. v0.17 02-09-02 Seventh Aminet release. Now checks that UART has space for a byte before sending it. Updated advice about what modems might work. Thanks ------ Thanks to Pontus Fuchs for writing this driver and for letting me release my changes in a new version, and to the people who sent me bug reports.
