Subject: Problem with running custom hardware card, 1.1.5 seems to make it worse...
Date: Wed, 11 Jun 2003 00:20:41 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <025801c32fe9$f7817dd0$6301a8c0@sovereign> (raw)

Everyone;
     I've got an ANA-200 Analog I/O board that I'm trying to get running
under DOSEmu so that we can switch this particular machine to Linux
permanently, but I've been battling with only some success.  Info about the
card itself is here:

http://www.bsof.com/a200prod.htm

In a nutshell, it needs to communicate with the DOS based analyzer program
we run, on a port between 0x200 and 0x2FF.  With DOSEmu 1.1.4 I had it sort
of working.  The DOS program could find the card on address 0x200, but
claimed that the com between itself and the card was too slow.  The message
that appeared in the DOS app indicated this anyway, since it stated that the
com was too slow and I needed at least a 486/66 for it to work properly.
This is on a PII/350, so obviously the raw hardware itself is more than up
to the task, the slowdown being in the emulation layers.  So, with great joy
I tried 1.1.5 since one of the points listed was that I/O was improved, and
was hoping this would be the final key to finish off this beast of a
problem.  But under 1.1.5, the card is not detected at all.  Tried all
addresses in the card's range to no luck.  It's like it just isn't there at
all....
Are there any alterations I need to make to the dosemu.conf file between
versions, or can anyone think of anything else I can try either with 1.1.5
or a previous iteration?

Thanks
Barclay McInnes.
