This is the streamer tape driver for 386bsd and FreeBSD, which
supports Wangtek and Archive compatible QIC-02/QIC-36 controllers.
It was developed as a replacement of the old Wangtek tape driver from CMU.
In comparison with the CMU driver, this version has the following enhancements:
1) Support for Archive SC402 and SC499 tape controllers added.
2) Support for up to three tape controllers on the same machine.
3) Support for BSD-style ioctls MTIOCGET, MTIOCTOP.
Mt command now works adequately with this driver.
2) Asynchronous REWIND and FSF operations, close() will not wait
until they finish. The next open() will wait for it instead.
4) Use of WTQICMD ioctl is limited to ERASE and RETENS operations.
This prevents the user from locking the tape driver by strange
tape operations.
5) Tape density switching added.
6) The status of the process, blocked on the tape operation,
is displayed at the WCHAN column of the `ps' command as:
wtread reading data from the tape
wtwrite writing data to the tape
wtrfm reading the tape marker
wtwfm writing the tape marker
wtrew rewinding the tape
wterase doing WTQICMD ERASE operation
wtretens doing WTQICMD RETENS operation
wtorew doing MTIOCTOP REW/OFFL operation
wtorfm doing MTIOCTOP FSF operation
wtowfm doing MTIOCTOP WEOF operation
7) It's possible to use the tape with "default density",
useful for devices which don't support density switching
or do automatic format determination.
8) Some controllers support only 1024 block length.
Setting WT_BSIZE bit in device minor number turns on this mode.
Minor number structure:
0bfffuuu
Fields:
uuu - Unit number. It's possible to install
up to three tape controllers on the same machine,
using DRQs 1..3. Hence, unit number can lie
in range 0..2.
fff - Tape format number:
0 - /dev/rwt0 - default density (auto select)
1 - /dev/rwt0a - QIC 11 (obsolete)
2 - /dev/rwt0b - QIC 24 (60 megabytes)
3 - /dev/rwt0c - QIC 120 (120 megabytes)
4 - /dev/rwt0d - QIC 150 (150 megabytes)
5 - /dev/rwt0e - QIC 300 (300 megabytes?)
6 - /dev/rwt0f - QIC 600 (600 megabytes?)
b - Long block size flag. With this bit set,
the driver will perform all i/o operations
with the controller using 1024-byte
blocks, instead of 512 ones.
Some controllers need it (CMS for example).
If you Wangtek controller does not stream well,
you can try to use /dev/rWt0 device instead
of /dev/rwt0 (uncomment needed lines in /dev/MAKEDEV
to create it).
Block interface (writing blocks less than 2048 bytes) is not functioning
pwoperly. Use raw interface instead.

Changes between EPSILON and RELEASE of FreeBSD have again caused
the kernel to not see my floppy disk drives. I don't know what happened,
'cause I don't see any changes to fd.c, but here is an old fix that
I have applied to the probe routine which will solve the problem (at
least for me). Since this is a rather brute-force solution - I understand
if you want to ignore it...

Subject: IDE-disk hangs - solution/patches NetBSD/FreeBSD
Summary: fixes for lost interrupts with IDE disks
Keywords: hanging-disk, IDE-disk, lost-interrupt
Due to "popular" demand I'm posting these patches to NetBSD/FreeBSD
instead of mailing them around the world :-)
As many have found out there is a problem when using IDE disks on
FreeBSD. Following is a patch that fixes the problem with lost intterrupts.
Both fixes is based on a patch posted here some month ago by
Stefan Behrens?? (sorry I've lost the original article). But anyway it
works (for me :-).
Basically it does a timeout on lost interrupts, starting the operation
again and logging and error message on the console.
It additionally makes the allready present while loop timeouts
independent of CPU speed, and adds minor numbers for easy access to
dos partitions.

when the machine panics.
i386/i386/locore.s:
1) got rid of most .set directives that were being used like
#define's, and replaced them with appropriate #define's in
the appropriate header files (accessed via genassym).
2) added comments to header inclusions and global definitions,
and global variables
3) replaced some hardcoded constants with cpp defines (such as
PDESIZE and others)
4) aligned all comments to the same column to make them easier to
read
5) moved macro definitions for ENTRY, ALIGN, NOP, etc. to
/sys/i386/include/asmacros.h
6) added #ifdef BDE_DEBUGGER around all of Bruce's debugger code
7) added new global '_KERNend' to store last location+1 of kernel
8) cleaned up zeroing of bss so that only bss is zeroed
9) fix zeroing of page tables so that it really does zero them all
- not just if they follow the bss.
10) rewrote page table initialization code so that 1) works correctly
and 2) write protects the kernel text by default
11) properly initialize the kernel page directory, upages, p0stack PT,
and page tables. The previous scheme was more than a bit
screwy.
12) change allocation of virtual area of IO hole so that it is
fixed at KERNBASE + 0xa0000. The previous scheme put it
right after the kernel page tables and then later expected
it to be at KERNBASE +0xa0000
13) change multiple bogus settings of user read/write of various
areas of kernel VM - including the IO hole; we should never
be accessing the IO hole in user mode through the kernel
page tables
14) split kernel support routines such as bcopy, bzero, copyin,
copyout, etc. into a seperate file 'support.s'
15) split swtch and related routines into a seperate 'swtch.s'
16) split routines related to traps, syscalls, and interrupts
into a seperate file 'exception.s'
17) remove some unused global variables from locore that got
inserted by Garrett when he pulled them out of some .h
files.
i386/isa/icu.s:
1) clean up global variable declarations
2) move in declaration of astpending and netisr
i386/i386/pmap.c:
1) fix calculation of virtual_avail. It previously was calculated
to be right in the middle of the kernel page tables - not
a good place to start allocating kernel VM.
2) properly allocate kernel page dir/tables etc out of kernel map
- previously only took out 2 pages.
i386/i386/machdep.c:
1) modify boot() to print a warning that the system will reboot in
PANIC_REBOOT_WAIT_TIME amount of seconds, and let the user
abort with a key on the console. The machine will wait for
ever if a key is typed before the reboot. The default is
15 seconds, but can be set to 0 to mean don't wait at all,
-1 to mean wait forever, or any positive value to wait for
that many seconds.
2) print "Rebooting..." just before doing it.
kern/subr_prf.c:
1) remove PANICWAIT as it is deprecated by the change to machdep.c
i386/i386/trap.c:
1) add table of trap type strings and use it to print a real trap/
panic message rather than just a number. Lot's of work to
be done here, but this is the first step. Symbolic traceback
is in the TODO.
i386/i386/Makefile.i386:
1) add support in to build support.s, exception.s and swtch.s
...and various changes to various header files to make all of the
above happen.
set when extended translation is turned on, thus we need to do the mailbox
unlock command no matter what value is in the extended bios flag byte as

1542C class boards.

As the subject line says:
I can;t believe this typo is still here.
Has NOBODY used the isa_dmastart() routine for 16bit DMA?
I know I just hit the dma regs directly for the AHA1542,
and it appears that either everybody else does as well, or
they only use 8bit DMA (e.g. floppy)
Editors Note:
The definition of DMA2_CHN was incorrectly using IO_DMA1!
* increase maximum time to wait for transmit DMA to complete to 120us.
* call ed_reset() if the time limit is reached instead of trying
* to abort the remote DMA.
*
* Revision 2.7 1993/10/15 10:49:10 davidg
* minor change to way the mbuf pointer temp variable is assigned in
* ed_start (slightly improves code readability)
*
* Revision 2.6 93/10/02 01:12:20 davidg
* use ETHER_ADDR_LEN in NE probe rather than '6'.
then use that information to fix the enhancemode features of the
1542C/CF boards by turning them off.
When doing this I found that the Buslogic 545S does NOT properly
mimic the 1542 families AHA_INQUIRE command. It only returns 1
byte of information, when the adaptec manual clearly states that 4
bytes are to be returned. I added a printf that explains the error
when we see a 545S for now, I tried to come up with a better solution,
but it involved to much work for now.
Removed patch kit headers and rcsid strings, add $Id$.
isa.c:
Removed old #ifdef notyet isa_configure code, since it will never be
used, and I have done 90% of what it attempted to.
Add conflict checking code that searchs back through the devtab's looking
for any device that has already been found that may conflict with what
we are about to probe. Checks are mode for I/O address, memory address,
IRQ, and DRQ. This should stop the screwing up of any device that has
alread been found by other device probes.
Print out messages when we are not going to probe a device due to
a conflict so the user knows WHY something was not found. For example:
aha0 not probed due to irq conflict with ahb0 at 11
Now print out a message when a device is not found so the user knows
that it was probed for, but could not be found. For example:
ed1 not found at 0x320
For devices that have I/O address < 0x100 say that they are on the
motherboard, not on isa! The 0x100 magic number is per ISA spec. It
may seem funny that pc0 and sc0 report as being on the motherboard, but
this is due to the fact that the I/O address used is that of the keyboard
controller which IS on the motherboard. We really need to split the
keyboard probe from the display probe. It is completly legal to build
a pc with out one or the other, or even with out both!
npx.c:
Return -1 from the probe routine if we are using the Emulator so
that the i/o addresses are not printed, this is the same trick used
for 486's.
Do not print the ``Errors reported via Exception 16'', and
``Errors reported via IRQ 13'' messages any more, since these just lead
to more user confusion that anything. It still prints the message
``Error reporting broken, using 387 emulator'' so that the person is
aware that there mother board is ill.

Okay, I tracked down the d*mn thing that is causing the memcpy to be
emmitted by gcc2. In the following patch is a fix to eliminate the
one place that was causing gcc to do the memcpy in function ie_readframe
for the ie_recv_frame_desc rfd = *(ie->rframes[num]) structure copy.
I also fixed the code so that the NS (XNS) support would compile with
out error and removed the cruft #define ns_* stuff from the softc
structures (I did this a while back for all the other either drivers)
Removed the $Log$ and all of the old log stuff, that is all kept in
the cvs tree, no need to duplicate it in the file... I'll copy it
into my commit message so that it is all retained, except the
revision numbers are going to get screwed up.
It now compiles cleanly under my LINT kernel...

*
* Revision 1.28 93/06/12 20:39:14 wollman

*
* Revision 1.27 93/06/08 17:05:57 wollman
* Attach routine now returns void.
*
* Revision 1.26 93/06/08 16:31:21 wollman
* Deleted attempt to set watchdog timer, since we don't use it.
*
* Revision 1.25 93/04/16 22:15:31 wollman
* Fixed infinite loop in iestart() which would cause the transmitter
* to constantly step on the Ethernet, sending the same two packets over
* and over again. This crashes the router (really!) and makes other
* network users very angry.
*
* Revision 1.24 93/04/14 23:57:47 wollman
* Increased transmit buffer size from 1504 to 1512, just in case I don't
* understand how the MTU is used.
*
* Revision 1.23 93/04/14 23:16:19 wollman
* Fix iestart() so that it only tries to execute a command if one was
* queued up (oops...).
*
* Revision 1.22 93/04/14 23:02:16 wollman
* Unknown changes.
*
* Revision 1.21 93/04/12 18:29:33 wollman
* Added multiple transmit commands. Note that they are always queued in
* pairs (there are only two to begin with), and the I flag is only set
* on the second one. This should decrease interrupt activity somewhat.
*
* Revision 1.20 93/04/12 15:36:05 wollman
* Changed setup of config block to take into account difference between
* StarLAN (10BASE-T) and Ethernet: StarLAN is Manchester, Ethernet is NRZ.
*
* Revision 1.19 93/03/23 18:58:44 wollman
* Raised count of receive buffers from 32 to 48 and included analysis of
* memory usage in a comment near that definition.
*
* Revision 1.18 93/03/18 03:59:53 wollman
* Last try to get large TCP windows to work...
*
* Revision 1.17 93/03/18 03:54:10 wollman
* Added RNR processing as a part of receive interrupts. Hopefully this
* will make everything Just Work now.
*
* Revision 1.16 93/03/18 03:23:24 wollman
* Still having problems with RNR conditions. Basic problem: say we
* set TCP window to 16k, which is a semsible value. Then smart
* partners will blast 16k to us, of which we can fit 8k minus a bit
* into our buffers. (Need to look at that memory map..) So, we get
* an RNR interrupt. The problem is, what do we need to do in this case?
* The original code doesn't work, but it doesn't hang the system either.
*
* Revision 1.15 93/03/18 02:37:00 wollman
* Disabled watchdog timer. This gets called from a timeout somewhere,
* which is running up at softclock. This is at a higher priority than
* we are, so we can get interrupted in the process of receiving something
* by the timer expiration, which is not a nice thing to have happen.
* Question: how can we keep this functionality, but do it in sync with
* our interrupts? (Ugh!)
*
* Revision 1.14 93/03/18 02:35:46 wollman
* Fixed some more problems with receive code---it works!
*
* Revision 1.13 93/03/17 20:15:59 wollman
* Think we fixed the serious (showstopper) bugs in 1.12.
*
* Revision 1.12 93/03/15 17:45:39 wollman
* Changed filtering logic dramatically to avoid the unnecessary copyin
* for BPF or multicast routing when the packet is not for us. (We
* have to run in promiscuous mode in this case.) We still need to
* deal with the problem of allocating one mbuf per receive buffer;
* we should be able to get away with a single mbuf for all reasonable
* incoming packets, and using an mbuf cluster will help avoid unnecessary
* copying of data.
*
* Revision 1.11 93/01/30 20:23:15 wollman
* Fiddled with reset code to hopefully make it work better when the
* watchdog timer expires. Question: why does it make a difference that
* we do the same thing through ieioctl() as we were doing before. The
* old code, when iereset() was called, the receive unit would completely
* die. But, a cycle of ifconfig ie0 down ; ifconfig ie0 up' would bring
* things back to normal. So, we try to mimic that now. Grrr...
*
* Revision 1.10 93/01/29 17:26:50 wollman
* Finally fixed multicast routing/BPF mb_map full problem!!!!
* It turned out that, when we received a packet not for us, we
* would just return from ie_readframe(), *WITHOUT* freeing the
* mbuf that the packet was in. So, when running in promiscuous
* mode (i.e., multicast routing or BPF without -p), we would have
* (on our extremely busy subnet 4) a memory leak of epic proportions.
*
* We now hold on to a single mbuf chain allocated in this way,
* and the next time a packet is read, we free it. Also, the
* next time a packet is transmitted, we free it. This way,
* we never lose more than 6 mbufs total (and on average more like
* 3).
*
* Revision 1.9 93/01/23 14:22:21 wollman
* Added some StarLAN Fiber modifications from L. Jonas Olsson.
*
* Revision 1.8 93/01/23 14:02:34 wollman
* Added support for IP multicasting.
*
* Revision 1.7 92/11/21 17:51:59 wollman
* Added StarLAN Fiber version point to my driver.
*
* Revision 1.6 92/11/20 18:21:45 wollman
* Fixed documentation, made out-of-mbuf condition an error.
*
* Revision 1.5 92/11/20 18:14:02 wollman
* Move change of ethertype to host byte order so that it's after
* bpf_mtap. Hopefully, this will allow us to listen to incoming
* IP packets.
*
* Revision 1.4 92/11/20 18:11:00 wollman
* Added code to drop packets when we run out of mbufs rather than
* panicking. This should alleviate the problems observed when using tcpdump.
*
* Revision 1.3 92/11/14 14:12:40 wollman
* Added BPF support code.
*
* Revision 1.2 92/11/14 13:30:26 wollman
* Added RCS keywords
*
* patch from vak@zebub.msk.su (Serge V.Vakulenko) to work around
* a hardware bug in cheap WD clone boards where the PROM checksum
* byte is always zero

Description:
Old wt driver is too incomplete and buggy.
It does not support Archive controllers, BSD-like
tape ioctls, multiple tape controllers, different
tape density etc.
Fix:
This driver is a replacement of the old one.
It was not tested on different controllers, though.
This is the streamer tape driver for 386bsd and FreeBSD,
which supports Wangtek and Archive controllers.
It was developed as a replacement of the old Wangtek
tape driver from CMU.
In comparison with the CMU driver, this version has the following enhancements:
1) Support for Archive SC402 and SC499 tape controllers added.
2) Support for up to three tape controllers on the same machine.
3) Support for BSD-style ioctls MTIOCGET, MTIOCTOP.
Mt command now works adequately with this driver.
4) Asynchronous REWIND and FSF operations, close() will not wait
until they finish. The next open() will wait for it instead.
5) Use of WTQICMD ioctl is limited to ERASE and RETENS operations.
This prevents the user from locking the tape driver by strange
tape operations.
6) Tape density switching added.
7) The status of the process, blocked on the tape operation,
is displayed at the WCHAN column of the `ps' command as:
wtread reading data from the tape
wtwrite writing data to the tape
wtrfm reading the tape marker
wtwfm writing the tape marker
wtrew rewinding the tape
wterase doing WTQICMD ERASE operation
wtretens doing WTQICMD RETENS operation
wtorew doing MTIOCTOP REW/OFFL operation
wtorfm doing MTIOCTOP FSF operation
wtowfm doing MTIOCTOP WEOF operation
Block interface (writing blocks less than 2048 bytes) is not functioning
pwoperly. Use raw interface instead.
* Added software NIC reset in NE probe to work around a problem
* with some NE boards where the 8390 doesn't reset properly on
* power-up. Remove initialization of IMR/ISR in the NE probe
* because this is inherent in the reset.
* added no multi-buffer override for 3c503
*
* Revision 2.1 93/09/29 12:32:12 davidg
* changed multi-buffer count for 16bit 3c503's from 5 to 2 after
* noticing that the transmitter becomes idle because of so many
* packets to load.
*
* Revision 2.0 93/09/29 00:00:19 davidg
* many changes, rewrites, additions, etc. Now supports the
* NE1000, NE2000, WD8003, WD8013, 3C503, 16bit 3C503, and
* a variety of similar clones. 16bit 3c503 now does multi
* transmit buffers. Nearly every part of the driver has
* changed in some way since rev 1.30.

To bring this error try to make two swap partitons on one disk:
one of the partitions will be not recognized.
Fix is simple: set uninitialized val variable.

The only place I found with a printf("status %x") is in /sys/i386/isa/lpt.c,
and looks much like a left-over debugging printout...

I think removing FINDWORK would make things clearer.
Nothing much is going to start work on the next item. However, it is
pointless to continue processing the queue for the same unready drive.
Aborting all reads and trying harder to perform all writes would be
better.

The fd driver reported the wrong cylinder/head/sector numbers after an
error (ST3 is only valid after a sense-drive command), and didn't report
fs block numbers (diskerr was not used).
There was an old problem with writes to block fd devices. Try this:
1. write protect floppy in fd0.
2. tar cf /dev/fd0a /dev/null. Repeat a few times. Later writes tend to
terminate earlier.
3. un-write protect floppy.
4. repeat step 2. The writes tend to return 0, 2048, 4096, ... and then
succeed.
This was caused by a bug in vfs__bios.c. (The bug is fixed in NetBSD's
vfs_bio.c.) fd.c sets bp->b_resid to nonzero after an error. vfs__bios.c
was not initializing bp->b_resid. This causes some writes to terminate
early (e.g., writes to block devices; see spec_write()).
Related funnies:
1. Nothing tries to write the residual bytes.
2. The wd driver sets bp->b_resid to 0 after an error, so there's no
way anything else could write the residual bytes.
3. I use the block fd device for tar because the raw device seemed to
have more bugs long ago, and because it ought to be able to handle
buffering more transparently (I don't want to have to know the
device size). But spec_write() always uses the size BLKDEV_IOSIZE
== 2048 which is too small. For disks it should use the size of
one track (rounded down to meet the next track boundary or the i/o
size). Here it would help if the DIOCGPART ioctl worked. But
DIOCGPART is not implemented for floppies, and the disk size is
ignored except for partitions of type FS_BSDFFS.

>Subject: fixes for fd driver
I think I've fixed some bugs in the 0.2.4 fd driver.
1. The main cause of hangs was that there was no timeout for seeks. So
attempting i/o with no floppy in the drive hung iff a seek was required.
2. Opens of unattached drives were allowed. The kernel usually paniced
soon after due to a bad pointer.
3. Some timeout functions ran at splclock() instead of splbio(). This
may not have mattered.
4. The state machine was left in a funny state after a timeout.
5. Some function headers were new-style.
6. I picked up some code posted the other day to implement label ioctls.
Now `disklabel fd0' works. See a comment for how to modify conf.c.
>Subject: Bad bug in kbdtables.h [FreeBSD]
I found a bug in /sys/i386/isa/kbdtables.h which contain the
different keyboard layouts for syscons. This regards all tables exept
the Danish and US. When compiling the kernel with any other keymapping
than Danish or none at all (US), you get an error that 'key_map' is undefined.
This is because there is a typo in the name of the struct containing
the tables, keymap intead of key_map.
That is because TIOCMGET was broken. Yes...this is known for some time
and no, we (Bruce and me) never posted it. Why? Simply because we choose
to post fixes when we fixed most of the bugs.
Anyway..now that the slip problems are coming, here is a fix for
correct TIOCMGET behaviour.

Note: this should be tested first (Rich?). Tested by rgrimes
1) fixed 3c503 lock-up if the thinwire cable was disconnected at boot time
2) 8013EBT boards now work (quite well!) in 16bit/16k mode
3) ED_NO_DOUBLE_BUFFERING flag now works
4) slightly higer performance (about 3%) with 16bit WD/SMC boards
5) support for WD8013WC (10BaseT) boards
Additionally, the probe code has been reorganized to be much cleaner. This
revision of the driver is 1.25. The release notes have been updated as well.
Subject: Re: Some small errors in GAMMA
4. Move printf("\n"); at line 491 in "/sys/i386/isa/sio.c" to after
COM_MULTIPORT block at line 512.
From rgrimes:
The above would cause the word (multiport) with out a new line to
appear after the uart type message if you had COM_MULTIPORT enabled.
Added support of DONET({IMP,NS,ISO}) so you can now compile with options
NS and ISO, still missing some IMP code, but since the imp is old and
gone I doubt this will ever be used.

This fixes several problems.
It has almost everything that is in the FreeBSD version of Aug 22.
It is missing the bug for 2 drives and still prints <> around the
drive type. It handles BADEND144 less verbosely. It does wdgetctlr()
somewhat differently from NetBSD/FreeBSD.

Fixed printf's to be correct, since Bruce used the old ones. This driver
still prints phantom wd1's on some Maxtor and other IDE drives, I have
a patch I am sending to Bruce for checking.
reinitialized between while loops. Added comments about what was going
on in the out_fdc routine.
out_fdc now returns if the direction bit is not set in time instead of
trying to wait for MRQ to get cleared.
I submitted the part of patch00155 that fixes wd.c not reporting any
bad blocks. Unfortunately, the patch created a new problem that makes new
installations using that kernel impossible. I have included a patch below that
should fix both problems. The fix comes from Tom Ivar Helbekkmo's wd driver
(the Norway wd driver). I've also eliminated the use of the DKFL_QUIET flag
completely, since it is not used anymore.
Fixed wdgetctrl routines for so that it returns a meaniful string for
non IDE disk drives. It also nolonger returns success when a drive is
not really there.
profiling, and various protection checks that cause security holes
and system crashes.
* Changed min/max/bcmp/ffs/strlen to be static inline functions
- included from cpufunc.h in via systm.h. This change
improves performance in many parts of the kernel - up to 5% in the
networking layer alone. Note that this requires systm.h to be included
in any file that uses these functions otherwise it won't be able to
find them during the load.
* Fixed incorrect call to splx() in if_is.c
* Fixed bogus variable assignment to splx() in if_ed.c
* them in cpufunc.h. Modified wait loop in reset to look a little better.
* Added read for talley counters to prevent an infinite loop on old
* 8003E's if they (the counters) overflow.
asic register even if the board isn't a 3c503. This caused old 8003E's not
to work because they ignore IO address bits >10bits and the 3c503 asic is
located at +0x400....the offset was ignored by the 8003E and so the
value was written to one of the NIC registers. The bug was discovered by
Wolfgang Solfrank.
8bit or 16bit operation, and a flag to disable transmitter double buffering.
See the updated "ed.relnotes" file for information about how to set
the flags.
This should be considered the first "production" release. It still
needs a manual page, though.
way of doing things. There still remain several drivers that need to
be updated. Also added a compile-time option to pccons to switch the
control and caps-lock keys (REVERSE_CAPS_CTRL) - added for my personal
sanity.
lpt doesn't work here if the printer is not turned on at boot time (this
has been reported for other systems).
lpt has a weird mapping of the flag bits vs printer numbers and MAKEDEV
does not understand this (printer 0 uses minor numbers 0-0x3f, printer 1
uses minors 0x40-0x7f, etc).
The following (simpler) problems are fixed by the patch.
lpt did not check the minor number on open, so if NLPT1 == 1 and you
try to open printer 1 then random memory above the lpt_sc array is
accessed. I thought I had this problem for minors 1 and 2. However,
it does not actually occur until minor 0x40. Does anyone have lpt64?
lpt had several unnecessary && broken ANSIisms and other sloppy
declarations.
