************************ W A R N I N G ************************
The DVISLM driver for the Atari laser printer utilizes the DMA interface
using SCSI-Like commands. Therefore, there is a potential for the destruction
of data on any hard drive using the same DMA interface.
The program as distributed is set to reference the printer at SCSI
address 7. Before exercising this program, install the dvist fonts and
software onto a floppy disk. Test the dvist program on that floppy.
Then disconnect your hard drive and invoke the dvislm program in a manner
similar to:
dvislm -v96 dvist
If pages are printed everything should be ok and it should be safe to
re-install your hard drive. (This assumes, of course, that your slm printer
functioned properly with the hard drives in the first place.)
If it doesn't operate (i.e. hangs), read the SLM operations guide to
determine your printers interface and then follow the instructions given
in the file dvist.tex (or .dvi) for a brief description on how to modify
dvislm to match your printers address. Again, before connecting the
hard drive, test the program on a floppy based system.
