Short: Demo version of driver for Gage CS220 Author: tsarna@endicor.com Uploader: tsarna endicor com Type: driver/other Architecture: m68k-amigaos Gage Driver Demo Disk ===================== gage_cs220.device is a driver for the CompuScope 220 ISA Digital Oscilloscope board. With this driver and a GoldenGate 2 or GG2+ ISA/ZorroII bus bridge, you can use the CS220 on an Amiga. [IMPORTANT NOTE: The CS220 board will not work in an A3000 as-is. It draws too much power on start-up and prevents the 3000's power supply from coming up. It works fine on 2000s, 3000Ts, and 4000s, but not the standard 3000. Gage can provide a modified board that works around the problem, or you can modify your own. Please contact us for details.] [NOTE: The driver has only been tested with the 32K board model, but should work with the other small (<512K) models. It may not work without additional work on the large models. I am unable to test this without access to a large-memory card.] This demo disk contains gage_null.device, a demonstration and test version of the driver that doesn't require a CS220 or even an ISA/Zorro bus bridge. It simulates the operation of the gage_cs220.device and provides the same interface, and allows development of software for gage_cs220.device when hardware is not availible. Since gage_cs220.device is a binddrivers-style device, and since gage_null.device is based on much of the same code, the gage_null.device is also a binddrivers style device and must be bound to an autoconfiguring board on your system. However, gage_null.device doesn't actually access the board it is bound to, so it is safe to bind the driver to any unbound board on your system. A ram expansion board is a good candidate. This disk also contains the full autodocs and headers necessary to program for the gage_cs220.device, and to allow you to get a feel for the capabilities of the real driver. Or, with the gage_null.device, you can develop complete applications for the CS220 without having the hardware or driver availible. See the file README.DataWeb for information on the DataWeb, a complete scientific data acquisition and processing environment that can be used with the gage_cs220.device. The CS220 driver is availible from: Endicor Technologies, Inc. P.O.
