you download the microcode to the DSP everytime you power on your system.
They provide a dos-program to do so, but no other support. This commit adds
code to the sio-driver, which implement an ioctl, which will down-load the
micro-code.
To get this functionality, you must define DSI_SOFT_MODEM.
The program to actually employ the ioctl is not included, but the entire
source looks like this:
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
unsigned char buffer[100000];
int i;
read(0,buffer,100000);
if((i = ioctl(1,TIOCDSIMICROCODE,buffer)) < 0)
perror("ioctl");
return i;
}
And you use it like this:
smload < data144b.dsi > /dev/ttyid3
You need to copy the *.DSI files from the dos-media provide with your modem.
You can see what is downloaded by issuing the ATI3 command to the modem.
DSI's scheme for what code you can run on your modem isn't violated by this.

This puppy is in good shape now.
It is a fully blown SCSI-driver, but it isn't a high performance one. It is
implemented entirely with polled I/O, and is intended to drive CD-ROM's, not
disks and tapes. It will run disks and tapes if asked to, but it isn't a
very good idea to do so. Transfer-rates max out at 600-700 kbyte/sec.
There is one problem: when write-requests get over 8192 bytes, the pseudo-DMA
stalls. This is only a problem if you dd(1) to a raw-device of some kind,
for mounting a disk it is ok. I have circumvented this by disabling the
pseudo-DMA in those cases.
It's very unlikely that I will spend more time on improving the performance
of this driver, it can do what I want it to now: install from a CD-ROM, and I
don't see any benefit in actually adding interrupts to the driver, considering
that performance never will be better than 700 kbyte/sec anyway.
You can install it under 1.1.5 too, by adding the lines to files.i386, your
config-file and copying pas.c and ic/ncr_5380.h over.
I will fix any bugs I can get a handle on.

- make sure error messages for bad integers are moderately sensible
- handle test ! "abc" -o "abc" (This should evaluate to true)
(and similar cases) ie:
and/or operator test added to POSIX special case processing.
- more test cases added.

otherwise the machine will overflow the stack in a recursive fault loop
(causing the machine to spontaneously reboot because of the stack fault
that ultimately happens).

than what he suggested.

These are the FAQ files, reorganized a bit and updated marginally for 2.0.
There is *still more work to be done* in updating, so if some of your FAQ text
is below, please check it over! We've also got a lot of FAQ entries still
to write (examples: "how do I upgrade?" "what's new in 2.0?" "how do I
install on a notebook/second drive/from DOS/etc etc etc?"
