4.1.3 QSP-200/300 Client Driver Examples

Example 1

DEVICE = C:\QSP-200\QSP200CL.SYS

In example 1, no command line arguments are specified. The Client Driver will configure a QSP-200/300 inserted into any socket with a base address and IRQ assigned by Card and Socket Services. The output drivers will be configured for full duplex operation (always enabled), the RTS-CTS handshaking will be disabled (loopback mode), and the interrupt status register will be enabled.

Example 2

DEVICE = C:\QSP-200\QSP200CL.SYS (b300)

In example 2, a single command line argument is provided. The Client Driver will attempt to configure a QSP-200/300 inserted into any socket with a base address of 300H and an IRQ assigned by Card and Socket Services. If address 300H is unavailable, the QSP-200/300 will not be configured. If the Client Driver can successfully configure the card, the output drivers will be configured for full duplex operation (always enabled), the RTS-CTS handshaking will be disabled (loopback mode), and the interrupt status register will be enabled.

Example 3

DEVICE = C:\QSP-200\QSP200CL.SYS (s0,b300,i5)

In example 3, a single command line argument is provided. The Client Driver will attempt to configure a QSP-200/300 inserted into socket 0 with a base address of 300H and IRQ 5. If address 300H or IRQ 5 is unavailable, the card will not be configured. In addition, if a QSP-200/300 is inserted into any other socket, it will not be configured. If the Client Driver can successfully configure the card, the output drivers will be configured for full duplex operation (always enabled), the RTS-CTS handshaking will be disabled (loopback mode), and the interrupt status register will be enabled.
