Hi, All!
I use about 2 years SIO2K 2.03 and eCS 2.0 and PCBoard FrontDoor
Physical ports for analog modems: COM1 and COM2
Virtual port for Internet - Telnet: COM3 (VMODEM VM000 = COM3)
Many hours I was searching the Internet help, because I could not VMod to work,
but I never found a help function. Then all I did. Below is my configuration.
The only problem I SIO2K that is not registered for 2 years and I found a
solution :-( Not to buy or get from someone who has registered.
Thus I have the settings in CONFIG.SYS:
REM [----- SIO2K -----]
rem device=C:\sio2k\esp.sys logfile=C:\sio2k\sio2k.log NoPause
device=C:\sio2k\vmodem.sys logfile=C:\sio2k\sio2k.log NoPause nPorts=1
device=C:\sio2k\uart.sys logfile=C:\sio2k\sio2k.log
device=C:\sio2k\sio2k.sys logfile=C:\sio2k\sio2k.log
device=C:\sio2k\vsio2k.sys logfile=C:\sio2k\vsio2k.log vIrqList(3,4,3=7)
rem device=C:\sio2k\vx00.sys
REM [----- SIO2K -----]
Thus I have the settings in SIO2K.CFG settings:
; THIS CONFIG FILE IS FOR ADVANCED USERS. START WITHOUT ANY CONFIG FILE
; AND ADVANCE SLOWLY FROM THERE.
;
; This sample configuration file should reflect the defaults used by
; SIO2K.SYS. That is, using this configuration file should be the same as
; using no configuration file at all. If you wish to start your own
; configuration file, copy this file to SIO2K.CFG and start the modification
; process.
;
; Basically, there are two elements in the config file. The option type
; which starts in the first column below, and the specific option within
; that type. Data may be entered into this file in upper and lower case or
; any mixture.
;
; Anything following a semicolon (;) is ignored, additionally blank lines
; are ignored.
;
; The option types are:
; Os2Device - The specific options in this group define and specify an OS/2
; proper device, such as COM1, COM2 etc.
;
; Specific options available under the "Os2Device" type are:
; Name
; Example, Name=com1. SIO2K.SYS allows users to define the device names
; that it will service. The name need NOT be com1, com2 etc. It can be
; any name (valid file name) up to 8 characters. This feature allows
; SIO2K.SYS to be coresident with other drivers that define standard
; device names. Example, COM.SYS can control com1 to com4, and SIO2K.SYS
; can start at com5.
;
; AltDriver
; Example, AltDriver=UART$,3. This option is telling SIO2K.SYS that
; another device driver, that identifies itself as UART$, is
; controlling the actual hardware, AND that the third device within
; UART$ is to be used. Among other things, this option gives
; drivers without a virtual Dos interface access to SIO2K's virtual
; drivers. The name UART$ is an inter device driver name and must be
; obtained from the drivers documentation. The name is usually NOT
; the same as the device drivers name. For example, the IDC name for
; UARTS.SYS is UART$.
;
; LockedBitRate
; Example, LockedBitRate=57600. This option will cause SIO2K.SYS to set
; the bit (baud) rate to the specified value and to ignore attempted
; changes made by application programs. NO CHECKING OF THE VALUE IS
; DONE.
;
; Os2Shares
; Normally when an OS/2 application open a comm port, Dos/Windows cannot
; access the comm port, even if the OS/2 app specified sharing is
; allowed. This option overrides the restriction and allows Dos to
; have access to the port.
;
; EXPERIMENT AT LEAST A WEEK BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT.

;
; This section of the config file is for UARTS.SYS, aka UART$
;
; The option types are:
; BaseUart - This option signals the end of the SIO2K.SYS config
; information and the start of the UARTS.SYS section of the config file.
;
; Specific options available under the "BaseUart" type are:
; SuperIO - Many motherboards and IDE controller cards have uarts with
; enhance capabilities, such as faster bit (baud) rates. If this option
; is included below, it enables the searching for these type of uarts and
; the use of their extended features. This option is global and need to
; be given only once.
;
; ExclusiveIRQ
; Device drivers can choose to use an IRQ exclusively, or to allow other
; device drivers to use the IRQ at the same time. Conflicts can occur
; either way. UARTS.SYS defaults to sharing IRQs with other drivers.
; Using this option will cause UARTS.SYS to use an IRQ exclusively.
; Thus other drivers are NOT allowed to have access to the IRQ.
;
; Hardware
; Example, Hardware=AutoDetect. This options tells UARTS.SYS to
; automatically (in this example) determine if the UART is an 8250, 16450
; or a 16550. You can force the UART to by specifying the device type.
; For example: Hardware=16550. At this writting, UART.SYS supports
; the 8250/16450, 16550, 16650, 16650A, 16654, 16750, 16850 and their
; variants.
; In addition, you may specify Hardware=PCI. In this case, the driver
; will select the next available PCI device and use that UART. If
; Hardware=PCI is used, then IO_Address setting (if any) is ignored.
;
; IO_Address
; Example, IO_Address=3f8. This option tells UARTS.SYS the I/O port
; to use, OR the method that UARTS.SYS is to use the assign a default
; address. The COMMON addresses for COM1 through COM4 are 3f8, 2f8, 3e8
; and 3e8 respectively. See the appendix in the user documentation for
; other common I/O addresses, like PS/2 systems.
;
; COM.SYS, and many other drivers and programs use a strage method of
; assigning the DEFAULT addresses for COM1 to COM4. They extract the
; default addresses from memory locations in Bios Ram. See the users
; manual for more discussion on this. If you desire to use the COM.SYS
; method of setting the DEFAULT I/O address, then specify BiosRamCom1
; through BiosRamCom4 as the option. Example: IO_Address=BiosRamCom1.
;
; Defults only apply to COM1 through COM4. You MUST give a specific
; I/O address for all other devices.
;
; As defined in the examples below, UARTS.SYS will setup COM1 to COM4 in
; the same same manner as com.sys does.

; This section of the config file is for dos sessions, ie VSIO2K.SYS.
;
; The option types are:
; DosDevice - This option signals the end of the UARY.SYS config
; information and the start of the VSIO2K.SYS section of the config file.
;
; Specific options available under the "BaseUart" type are:
;
; Os2DevName
; Example, Os2DevName=com1. This option tells vsio2k.sys the name of
; the OS/2 device (eg com1, com2 etc) that is to be associated with
; the DOS device being defined.
;
; VirtualIO
; Example, VirtualIO=2f8 or VirtualIO=BiosRamCom1. This option tells
; vsio2k.sys the I/O address that this DOS device is to virtualize.
; If a DOS or Windows program touches this I/O port, the accesses
; will be intercepted by vsio2k.sys and translated into calls to
; SIO2K.SYS (the OS/2 driver). Note that the virtual address NEED NOT
; be the same as the address of the (real) OS/2 device.
;
; VirtualIRQ
; Example, VirtualIRQ=4. This option tells vsio2k.sys which virtual
; IRQ to associate with the dos device being defined. All DOS devices
; can share virtual IRQs. However, your application software must
; be configured to use the same IRQ. The virtual IRQ need not be the
; same as the IRQ that the associated OS/2 device is using.
;
; DosShares
; This option tells vsio2k.sys to allow OS/2 sessions to have access to
; this DOS device. Note that the OS/2 kernel prevents two DOS sessions
; from using the same device, so two DOS sessions can never share a
; communications port.
;
; VirtualUart
; Example, VirtualUart=16550. This option tells vsio2k.sys the type of
; uart to emulate. Generally, 16550 should be specified.
