1) Install SIO ------- % Cut from SIO's SIOUSER.TXT % ----------------------------------- Quick Start Create a temporary directory, change into that directory and unzip the SIO distribution zip there. Type INSTALL followed by the enter key. For a basic setup, that is all that is needed. If you choose to install SIO manually, the following should be done. BE SURE THAT ANY SERIAL MOUSE DRIVER APPEARS IN THE CONFIG.SYS BEFORE SIO.SYS If you are going to use standard communications ports, either COM1 or COM2 on an ISA bus (AT or clone), or COM1 through COM4 on a PS/2, then add the following line to your CONFIG.SYS file: DEVICE=SIO.SYS DEVICE=VSIO.SYS Be sure to REMark out the COM.SYS and VCOM.SYS device drivers if they exist in your CONFIG.SYS. With the above statements you will be able to use standard COM1 and/or COM2 (if they exist) on any PC system known to the author. If your setup is more complex, you must read on. ------- % Cut from SIO's SIOUSER.TXT % ----------------------------------- If you are using Com3 or higher, refer to the SIO documentation for your configuration. (It's really easy to configure in most cases though...) You can contact Ray Gwinn via: Email CompuServe 71154,575 Internet ray@gwinn.com FAX 1-304-255-7902 BBS 1-304-255-7903 or 199.248.240.2 2)
