COMi Installation and Configuration

  NOTE on ISA adapters:
    You must enable the interrupt ID (status) register and disable the
    interrupt mask register functions on you DigiBoard serail adapter.
    See the documentation that came with your serial adapter on how to
    set it up for shared interrupts.

To install the DigiBoard specific version of the COMi asynchronous
serial device driver, do one of the following:

Method One:

1. Open an OS/2 command prompt session.

2. Make the disk drive containing the distribution diskette the default drive.

    Example:  [C:\]A: [ENTER)

              (assuming the distribution diskette is in drive A:)

3. Start INSTALL.EXE by typing INSTALL [ENTER]

4. Once INSTALL is loaded, use the "Install Options" menu item to setup the
   installation for your system requirements.

    Select "Files" | "Install Options..."

5. Transfer the files.

    Select "Files" | "Transfer Files"

6. Use the "Config COMi" menu to configure the COMi device driver.  Once in
   the configuration program there will be on-line help to help with the
   configuration process.

Method Two:

1. Open the OS/2 System folder

2. Open the Drives folder

3. Double click on the drive you inserted the distribution
   diskette.

4. Double click on the INSTALL.EXE icon.

5. Follow the instructions from item four, above.

You may use CONFIG.EXE at any time to change the configuration of the COMi
device driver and any device controlled by COMi, though any changes you make
will require a re-boot to take effect.  Once the device driver has been loaded
at system start-up you will not need to supply the command line parameters as
CONFIG will determine the location of the initialization file from COMi.

Multiple copies of the device driver can be loaded, providing support for more
than eight serial devices.

Your distribution diskette may have a demonstration version of COMscope
included.  If you wish to install these programs start INSTALL with the
command line switch "/DEMO".

  Example: [A:\]INSTALL /DEMO  (This switch is case sensitive.)

Your distribution diskette may also contain three addintional files.
SPLIT.EXE, SPLIT.C, and IOCTL.C.  SPLIT is a base OS/2 program that strips
the COMscope tracking fields from COMscope captured data and splits the data
into it's read and write components. Both the executable and the source
code for SPLIT is supplied.  IOCTL.C contains "C" source code for each of the
DosDevIOCtl functions defined for Category One Asynchronous Serial Devices as
defined in the "Physical Device Driver Technical Reference".
