@mbbrutman mbbrutman released this 12 Jun 03:58

This is a small update to keep up to date with changes in the DaynaPORT emulation firmware. It specifically executes reads in "polled" mode, which returns one packet at a time. (The changes in the firmware also expose a multi-packet read mode, which this driver is not designed to handle.) The matching firmware releases are:

This will probably be the last release of this code. A replacement written in pure x86 assembler is coming soon.

DaynaPORT DOS Packet Driver v0.7.0

@mbbrutman mbbrutman released this 11 Nov 19:52

This is a rewrite of the V0.6 from the upstream repository. Changes include:

  • Adding support for multiple packet driver handles. (This is required for WATTCP programs.)
  • Improve performance with optional polling for new packets under the DOS Idle interrupt. (This greatly improves performance with mTCP.)
  • Improved error handling and robustness.
  • Fix some bugs in the SCSI handling and packet driver functions.
  • Change from a TSR to a DOS shell to allow for unloading the driver.

This is still very much "beta" quality code. It is working fairly well but it is not well exercised yet. In particular, it needs more testing with different SCSI cards and ASPI layer code. I want to hear how it works for you!
