Short: Serial.device for diskport. V1.2a Author: sichler@rumms.uni-mannheim.de (Stefan Sichler) Uploader: sichler rumms uni-mannheim de (Stefan Sichler) Type: comm/net Architecture: m68k-amigaos This is a serial.device compatible driver for use with the diskport. It is some kind of >>cheap<< AmigaLink like device with only little 74xx one-chip hardware required that can be easily built by everybody. Features: - Up to 31KB/sec on accelerated Amigas - Up to 6KB/sec on old Amiga 500 with LITTLE CPU USAGE - diskserial.device hardware can be used along with floppies - up to 4 Amigas can be linked to one diskport History: V1.2a --------------------------------------------------------- Timing protocol little changed. "Short-packet" transmissions should be a bit faster now. V1.2 ---------------------------------------------------------- I fixed the bug of V1.1/V1.1a, so the transmission should be more secure now. V1.1a --------------------------------------------------------- MAXIMA MEA CULPA MAXIMA MEA CULPA MAXIMA MEA CULPA When I removed all debugging code from diskserial.device V1.1 for the Aminet, I removed a part of the transmission protocol (sender) by mistake, so that V1.1 DID NOT WORK. In this version, I removed the appropriate parts on receiver side, so that V1.1a should work now, but the transmission will be a bit insecure.
