KwikNet Universal File System Interface
C.4 Using the MS-DOS File System
When used with AMX 86, the KwikNet Universal File System (UFS) interface supports
the MS-DOS
®
file system. No customization is required. All file devices, including
RAM drives, hard drives and floppy drives, are accessible through the UFS interface.
AMX 86 includes a component called the PC Supervisor which permits AMX 86 to be
used with MS-DOS on PC platforms. Special care must be taken when using the PC
Supervisor with AMX and KwikNet as described in Chapter 3.7.1.
The PC Supervisor Task must be of lower priority than tasks which use it to access
MS-DOS. This requirement leads to the following recommended task priority order
when using KwikNet components such as an FTP client or server or the HTTP Web
Server.
PC Supervisor Clock Tick Task Highest priority
PC Supervisor Keyboard Task
KwikNet Task
FTP server task
HTTP Web Server task
FTP client task
PC Supervisor Task Lowest priority
Note that the order of priority of servers and clients may have to be adjusted to reflect the
relative importance of each of these services in your application.
