1.2.2 CHAPI Development libraries

CHAPI.LIB – The library to link with in case the components described in the

CHAPI_LIB.H header file are used for a particular CHAPI module implementation; it

should be used in a release build of a CHAPI device;

CHAPID.LIB – The debug version of the CHAPI.LIB library; it should be used in a debug

build of a CHAPI device;

CHAPI_SERIAL.LIB – The library to link with in case the base classes for a serial line

controller/port implementation are used for a particular CHAPI module implementation; it

should be used in a release build of the CHAPI device;

CHAPI_SERIALD.LIB – The debug version of CHAPI_SERIAL.LIB; it should be used in a

debug build of a CHAPI device;

CHAPI_PARALLEL.LIB – The library to link with in case the base classes for a parallel

controller/port implementation are used for a particular CHAPI module implementation; it

should be used in a release build of the CHAPI device;

CHAPI_SERIALD.LIB – The debug version of CHAPI_PARALLEL.LIB; it should be used

in a debug build of a CHAPI device;

CHAPI_STORAGE.LIB - The library to link with in case the base classes for a disk/tape

controller/unit implementation are used for a particular CHAPI module implementation; it

should be used in a release build of a CHAPI device;

CHAPI_STORAGED.LIB – The debug version of CHAPI_STORAGE.LIB; it should be

used in a debug build of a CHAPI device;

1.2.3 The CHARON drivers used by CHAPI modules

These drivers are provided 'as is':

 BCI2X0X.SYS – The BCI-2104/BCI-2004 bus adapter driver used by the

CHAPI_QBUS and CHAPI_UNIBUS examples. This is a proof of concept as the

BCI-2x04 products are end of life.

 S3QBUS_PPT.SYS – The S3QBUS (based on the CESYS PCIS3BASE board) bus

adapter driver used by the CHAPI_S3QBUS.

 DCI1100.SYS – The DCI-1100 adapter driver used by the CHAPI_DRV11WA

example. This is a proof of concept as the DCI-1100 is end of life.

 PPT.SYS – A generic PCI 'Pass-through' device driver that is used for
