1 Overview
ADF is a FOSSIL revision level 5 driver, including the additional
functions defined by Raymond L. Gwinn in X00 v1.50.
ADF is specially designed for users of high speed modems with or
without the 16550 or the 16650 UART, using DOS or a multitasking
environment.
ADF was initially written some years ago because other FOSSIL
drivers did not always work properly in protected mode
multitasking environments, where the UART is emulated.
ADF is designed to work well with both emulated UARTs and real
UARTs, without any drawbacks.
1.1 Features of ADF
* Always a locked baud-rate.
* Locked baud-rate of any speed (2 bps - 115200 bps).
* Defaults to 8 databits, no parity, and 1 stop bit (8N1).
* Always CTS/RTS handshake. Never DSR/DTR or XON/XOFF handshake.
* One port per ADF (load ADF in different tasks for many ports).
* COM-port address configurable (0H-FFFFH).
* COM-port IRQ configurable (0-15).
* Full support of the 16550 UART and the 16650 UART.
* Fills transmit 16550-FIFO buffer with all 16 bytes.
* Fills transmit 16650-FIFO buffer with all 32 bytes.
* Receiver 16550-FIFO configurable (1, 4, 8 or 14 bytes).
* Receiver and transmitter 16650-FIFO configurable.
* Only 8088/8086 compatible code used.
2 Shareware

2.1 Use as shareware
To use ADF.EXE as shareware, you must first execute the supplied
REGISTER.EXE and register ADF.EXE as shareware.
Run REGISTER.EXE, specify ADF.EXE as file to register and do not
enter any user name. ADF.EXE may then be used as shareware.
When ADF.EXE is executed it will display the number of used days
since it was registered as shareware.
2.2 How to register
To register ADF and use it for more than 30 days, you should pay
an even amount equal to the sum of USD 10 in a currency of your
own choice. Examples of common currencies:
American Dollars USD 10
Austrian Schillings ATS 100
Belgian Francs BEF 300
British Pounds GBP 6
Canadian Dollars CAD 15
Dutch Guilders NLG 15
French Francs FRF 50
German Marks DEM 15
Italian Lira ITL 15000
Swedish Krona SEK 60
