Extracting the driver files to the PC’s hard disk ............................................................................. 3 3.

Enumerating the RocketPort/BroadPort 550 for use under a Windows 9x DOS session. ........... 5 5.
1. Before you begin V1.10 and above of the DOS sample software supports the original RocketPort/BroadPort 550 range, the RocketPort/BroadPort 550 Universal range and the new BroadPort 550 Universal RS422 SMPTE cards. When this document refers to RocketPort/BroadPort 550 it is relevant to the RocketPort/BroadPort 550, the RocketPort/BroadPort 550 Universal controller and the BroadPort 550 cards.
2. Copy the zipped file R550DOS.EXE, from the CD to the directory created in step 1. copy d:\DOSSMPL\dos550.exe c:\r550DOS Step 2 assumes that you are installing from a distribution CD with a driver letter d: Replace this with the driver letter for your CD ROM drive, if it is different. Step 2 also assumes that the destination working directory is c:\r550DOS. You should enter the path to the working directory that you entered in step 1, if it is different.
4. Enumerating the RocketPort/BroadPort 550 for use under a Windows 9x DOS session. The RocketPort/BroadPort 550 controllers require bus enumeration so that they can be accessed from a Windows 9x DOS session. The procedure is similar to installing a Windows 9x driver, and the term ‘driver’ is used however no software is actually installed (or needs to be at this stage). The controllers are simply made known to Windows 9x.. 1.
5. Verifying operation The MS DOS sample code, consists of a number of ‘C’ source files, headers etc. The primary purpose is to provide examples for developers in order to assist them in porting their register level drivers from the Hostess 450/550 ISA range to the RocketPort/BroadPort 550 series. A Make file is provided for Borland C/C++ 3.1 along with various environment setting batch files. The files, unmodified can be used to build a simple application called ‘TERM.EXE’.
