1. Introduction The DSP-100 is a dual channel RS-232 asynchronous serial adapter for systems equipped with PCMCIA Type II and/or Type III expansion sockets. The DSP-100 is a PCMCIA Type II (5 mm) card and is PCMCIA PC Card Standard Specification 2.1 compliant. The DSP-100's serial port is implemented using two 16C750 Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitters (UARTs), which are the recommended communications interface for multitasking environments and with applications involving high data transfer rates.

2. DOS/Windows 3.x Note: Quatech PCMCIA DOS support is dependent upon type of machine and card and socket services software support. DOS support is not guaranteed. Two configuration software programs are provided with the DSP-100: a Client Driver, and a card Enabler. Both of these programs are executed from DOS (before entering Windows) and allow operation of the DSP-100 in both the DOS and Windows 3.x environments.
2.1 DSP-100 Client Driver for DOS In order to use the DSP-100 Client Driver, the system must be configured with Card and Socket Services software. Card and Socket Services software is not provided with the DSP-100 but is available from Quatech. IMPORTANT: Some versions of Card and Socket Services dated before 1993 do not support general purpose I/O cards.
DSP-100 Enabler program must be used to configure the adapter. If the Client Driver reports the desired adapter configuration, the installation process is complete and the DSP-100 may be removed and/ or inserted from the system as desired. On each insertion into the PCMCIA socket, the DSP-100 will be automatically reconfigured according to the command line options. 2.1.
2.1.2.2 Example 2 DEVICE = C:\DSP-100\DSP130CL.SYS (b290,i11) In example 2, a single command line argument is provided. The Client Driver will attempt to configure a DSP-100 inserted into any socket with a base address of 290H and IRQ 11. If address 290H or IRQ 11 is unavailable, the DSP-100 will not be configured. 2.1.2.3 Example 3 DEVICE = C:\DSP-100\DSP130CL.SYS(s0,b300,i5,o2) In example 3, a single command line argument is provided.
2.1.2.6 Example 6 DEVICE = C:\DSP-100\DSP130CL.SYS (b300,i5) ( ) (i10) In example 6, the three command line arguments of example 5 have been rearranged. The Client Driver will first attempt to configure a DSP-100 inserted into any socket with a base address of 300H and IRQ 5. If address 300H or IRQ 5 is unavailable, the Client Driver will proceed to the second command line argument and attempt to configure the card with a base address and IRQ assigned by Card and Socket Services.
Available Resources: One function of the Card and Socket Services software is to track which system resources (memory addresses, I/O addresses, IRQs, etc.) are available for assignment to inserted PCMCIA cards. Sometimes, however, the Card Services software assumes or incorrectly determines that a particular resource is used when it is actually available. Most Card and Socket Services generate a resource table in a file (typically in the form of an .
The DSP-100 Enabler does not support automatic configuration of adapters upon insertion, more commonly referred to as "Hot Swapping". This means the adapter must be installed in one of the system's PCMCIA sockets before executing DSP130EN.EXE. If more than one adapter is installed in a system, the Enabler must be executed separately for each adapter. Furthermore, DSP130EN.EXE should be executed to release the resources used by the adapter before it is removed from the PCMCIA socket.
Waddress specifies the base address of the memory window required to configure the DSP-100. Set address = D0 for a memory window at segment D000, address = D8 for a memory window at segment D800, etc. Valid settings for address are C8, CC, D0, D4, D8, and DC. If this option is omitted, a memory window at segment D000 will be used. Cclock specifies the multiple of the standard frequency for the UART clock. Valid values for clock are 1 or 8. A value of 1 yields a clock frequency of 1.
2.2.1.5 Example 5 DSP130EN.EXE (o1,i5,b340,s1) In example 2, the Enabler will configure the DSP-100 in socket 1 with a base address of 340H and IRQ 5 using a configuration memory window at segment D000. 2.2.1.6 Example 6 DSP130EN.EXE (s0,b300,i5,r) In example 6, the Enabler will release the configuration used by the DSP-100 in socket 0 using a configuration memory window at segment D000. The base address and IRQ parameters are ignored and may be omitted. 2.2.1.7 Example 7 DSP130EN.
Card and Socket Services Software: In order to use the DSP-100 Enabler for DOS, the system MUST NOT be configured with Card and Socket Services software. If a Card and Socket Services software is installed, the Enabler may interfere with its operation and with the device(s) it controls. For systems configured with Card and Socket Services, the DSP-100 Client Driver is the recommended method of configuration. www.bb-elec.com orders@bb-elec.com support@bb-elec.
3. Windows 95/98/Millennium (ME) To allow easy configuration of the DSP-100, a Windows 95/98/ME "INF" configuration file has been written for the hardware. 3.1 Installing a DSP-100 Under Windows 95/98/ME 1. Insert the DSP-100 into any available PC Card socket. 2. The first time a new PC Card type is installed the New Hardware Found window opens. After this first installation Windows 95/98/ME will automatically detect and configure the card.
To view and/or edit hardware devices in Windows 95/98/ME use the system Device Manager. To access Device Manager double click the System icon in the Windows 95/98/ME control panel, or click the My Computer icon on the Windows 95/98/ME desktop with the right mouse button and select Properties from the pull down menu. Consult Windows 95/98/ME on-line help for details on the use of the Device Manager. 3.2.1Viewing Resource Settings with Device Manager 1. Start the Windows 95/98/ME Device Manager. 2.
5. Several predefined Basic Configurations have been included for the DSP-100 (see Figure 5. DSP-100 Basic Configuration Table). The Basic Configurations provide many combinations of the operating modes and options listed below. See the Hardware Information section of this manual for complete descriptions. When the Use Automatic Settings check box is enabled Windows 95/98/ME will attempt to configure the DSP-100 in the order listed in the Basic Configurations table.
Base I/O Address Resource Modification Not Allowed: The DSP-100 is configured to allow only a fixed number of base I/O addresses. To change the I/O address resources for the DSP-100 select another “Basic Configuration”. Refer to the Basic Configurations table for a list of the availabe I/O address resources for the DSP-100. www.bb-elec.com orders@bb-elec.com support@bb-elec.com 3-4 International Office: 707 Dayton Road PO Box 1040 Ottawa, IL 61350 USA 815-433-5100 Fax 433-5104 (Rev.
