SETAUX V2.0 Rainbow 100 Communications Port Modifier (C) COPYRIGHT 1986 by David N. Mitchell; ALL RIGHTS RESERVED WARNING !!! - Do NOT use this program in conjunction with the Set-Up key on the Rainbow. They do not interact at all, i.e. - anything set with one will not be reflected by the other. The reason for this seems to be that when writing the firmware functions which control the Set-Up key, DEC did not attempt to read and write to the same locations that MS-DOS uses for reading or modifying the port. If you set the port with Set-Up and then try to read the settings with this program, you will most likely NOT get the correct settings. Any questions or comments pertaining to the use of this program should be sent to: David N. Mitchell 4103 Deep Hollow Dr. # 140 Raleigh, N.C. 27612 For information on how to use the program, simply enter the program name with no parameters. The program is very useful for applications where, for one reason or another the comm. port set-up needs to be changed under program control. There are two new functions in this version, the most useful of which is the reset function. If your port gets jammed or clogged, this function will reset and clear the port. The following is what you see when you execute the program with no parameters : SETAUX.EXE V2.0 by David N. Mitchell Copyright (C) 8/86 The "SETAUX" program now supports two new functions : "SETAUX D" will display the current settings of the port and "SETAUX R" will reset the port to the NVM settings and clear the port. The display and set functions only support the options listed below. Once changed by the program, these settings will NOT be reflected in the modem set-up screen accessed through the Rainbow SET-UP key. The following is a list of supported settings to be passed in the order listed along with the actual parameters in parentheses. NO intervening spaces are allowed between parameters !
