CYBERCOM.DRV 9264 11-26-93 1:06p
|
|
|
|
The High Speed Serial Communications Driver for Windows 3.1
|
|
Designed for 386 (and above) systems using the 16550 serial port
|
|
chip. (C) CyberSoft Corp 1993
|
|
|
|
Requires Windows 3.1, Enhanced Mode, a 16550 UART
|
|
|
|
|
|
INTRODUCTION.
|
|
-------------
|
|
CyberCom is a direct replacement for the standard Windows
|
|
Communications Driver (COMM.DRV).
|
|
|
|
* Transfer at up to 115,200 KB with a 16550 serial port chip
|
|
* Great for V.FAST and Voice modems that require 57,600 Kb
|
|
* More reliable Transfer with less overhead on your system - Better
|
|
background operation.
|
|
* Fewer (if any) over/under runs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
HOW DOES IT WORK?
|
|
-----------------
|
|
Don't worry if the following sounds too complicated - just skip over
|
|
it and move on to the Installation...
|
|
|
|
* CyberCom enables the FIFO buffer on the 16550 to be enabled for both
|
|
receive AND transmit - COMM.DRV only enables the FIFO for receive.
|
|
|
|
* The 'interrupt trigger level' has been set to 8 for both transmit and
|
|
receive. This gives your applications a lot more time to process
|
|
incoming information. COMM.DRV sets the trigger level to 14 which
|
|
means that your application only has 2 characters in which read from
|
|
the FIFO buffer.
|
|
|
|
What this means is that your communications applications will get far
|
|
fewer (if any) 'under runs' or 'over runs' when sending or receiving.
|
|
|
|
|
|
INSTALLATION
|
|
------------
|
|
1. Copy CYBERCOM.DRV into your Windows\System directory.
|
|
|
|
Edit the Windows\SYSTEM.INI file and change the following line:
|
|
|
|
From comm.drv=comm.drv
|
|
To comm.drv=cybercom.drv
|
|
|
|
2. If you previously have not taken advantage of the 16550 installed
|
|
in your computer then ensure that the Windows\SYSTEM.INI file has the
|
|
following information:
|
|
|
|
[386Enh]
|
|
COMnFIFO=1
|
|
|
|
where n is the number of the COM port.
|
|
|
|
if your 16550 is installed on, say, COM 1 then
|
|
|
|
[386Enh]
|
|
COM1FIFO=1
|
|
|
|
3. Start or Restart windows.
