Genius Documentation
ZSoft Corporation's GENIUS.SYS is designed to work with the
Genius hand scanner. This scanner device driver presently has
only one option: DMA channel.
DMA channel: /C1 DMA channel 1
/C3 DMA channel 3
Example CONFIG.SYS entry:
DEVICE=GENIUS.SYS /C3
The driver is set up for the Genius 4500 and DMA channel 3.
The scanner supports 100, 200, 300, and 400 dpi.
This device driver does not support interrupts. Therefore,
to obtain the best performance, GENIUS.SYS requires EMS.
Paintbrush may save buffers to the hard disk while scanning.
When the disk is accessed, scan lines are lost, resulting in gaps
in the image. To prevent this, the entire scan may be scanned into
Expanded Memory and then read back as required, greatly reducing the
chance of losing scan data.
