If you were writing a serial comm program from scratch, what would you
|
|
use for the low-level I/O drivers?
|
|
Also, if CBBS were to be re-written for the PC, (it is RUNNING on a PC,
|
|
but using 8080 emulation!) how would the DOS access be handled? I'm doing
|
|
it now via "ctty com1" which is executed only if a password is entered,
|
|
etc.
|
|
Is there a standard library of these routines? Or does every BBS
|
|
writer create their own?
|
|
Thanks!

If you want to program the COM port yourself, interrupt driven
|
|
serial i/o is covered well in the following book:
|
|
The Waite Group's MS-DOS Developers Guide
|
|
Publisher: Howard W. Sams
|
|
Date:1989 (2nd Edition) - 3rd may be out by now
|
|
|
|
Look on page 468
|
|
|
|
As for accessing DOS, I would recommend something like PC-Anywhere III.
|
|
There all interrupts that you can call to disable it's output so that
|
|
while you're doing your own i/o it, won't interfere. In fact, you
|
|
can write your program to utilize the PC Anywhere communication i/o
|
|
routines. CTTY is fine as long as you stay in DOS. Don't try to go
|
|
into GWBASIC or any application that uses cursor control! PC-Anywhere III
|
|
even handles graphics based programs if you wanted to run something like
|
|
that from remote.
|
|
Although I dont believe DMA documents the interrupts used to control
|
|
PC-Anywhere III, they are listed in a book called PC INTERRUPTS. My copy
|
|
is at work, so I don't have an author or publisher, but it is new
|
|
(I got mine at Waldenbooks about a week ago). If you need any infor
|
|
about it, let me know I'll get you publisher/author. I believe it
|
|
was about $39 for the PC INTERRUPTS book.

There is a well documented interface that Fido and Opus bulletin
|
|
boards used called a FOSSIL (Fido Opus Seadog Standard Interface Layer)
|
|
That is available on many bulletin boards (US Robotics comes to mind{)
|
|
Look for files called X00.SYS or something like that.
|
|
It functions as a device driver, and is very reliable.

Hi Byron! Well I use too have lots of interest for the DEC RAINBOW 100
|
|
computer. As I bought a bunch of software for it at bargain prices.
|
|
Unfortunately... I just gave them all away for free. Another thing about
|
|
this computer is that I never had seen one in my life. I still haven't
|
|
either, just some software for it.

(It would help if you suggested what language you might use <G>.)
|
|
|
|
Someone mentioned FOSSIL drivers. I recall seeing a bundle of related
|
|
stuff--which may or may not contain what you would need--over on the
|
|
U.S. Robotics BBS in Skokie awhile ago.
|
|
|
|
Assuming the language is C (which I _think_ I saw somewhere on CBBS in
|
|
Dolton), several low-level serial I/O packages are available. I just
|
|
wish I recalled where I've seen 'em advertised! I _think_ it was in the
|
|
C Users Journal, but it may have been in PC Mag. or PC World. Also,
|
|
shareware packages are floating around. I've seen 'em either in
|
|
Shareware Mag.'s back section (the current month's issue contains a
|
|
cover article by me <G>) or in the Encyclopedia of Shareware. Even if
|
|
you're thinking of being masochistic about it and programming in
|
|
Assembler <G>, running the source through to an .ASM file obviously
|
|
would be a major start.
|
|
|
|
If you _are_ thinking about C and your needs are simple--basic
|
|
file maintenance with text-based utilities, the simplest solution
|
|
obviously would be to use system() or an alternate. In fact, I'd be
|
|
inclined to do that with the fxn you would write which invokes
|
|
system() offering a simple, password-protected menu to execute your
|
|
most common tasks.
|
|
|
|
Have I missed the mark entirely? <GGG>

Does anybody have a working boot disk for the famous CP/M for the
|

C64? I know the darn thing is about worthless, but my disk died
|
|
and I can't seem to bring it back to life. I wonder if Commodore

will still have a replacement copy around?

Ya, but some of the software packages I use do not have drivers for
|
|
HP500s. Does the 500C take a different driver than the 500?
|
|
If things are quiet at work this week I'll be heading over to ET
|

to pick up a 500C. I let you know how it goes.....

Thanks for the response about the DEC Rainbow. It's
|
|
truely a collectors item. I guess the drawback is
|
|
not being able to upgrade it. If somebody desparately
|
|
needs one (for parts, etc.) I would consider trading
|

for something, but for now I will probably just use
|
|
the monitor (and prop my door open with the pedestal).
