- History of PARnet-PC:
- ====================
-
- 29-JUN-93 : Released very first version, containing only the
- interface description & interface testroutines.
- 05-JUL-93 : Fixed bug in PARKERN.ASM: When requesting odd number of bytes in
- a parwrite() request, or when reading odd bytes with parread()
- it resulted sometimes in a infinite loop. Fixed with some
- additional branches.
- Optimized PARKERN.ASM by using registers for the 'bytes left'
- counter. Instead of _Debugbytes, used SI in parread() and DI in
- parwrite().
- Wrote some documentation in ParnetPC.DOC.
- Optimized the testing programs LISTEN,TALK,GET and added DUMP.
- 09-JUL-93 : Added functions ParReadV (read from Vector) and ParWriteV
- (write to Vector). Made the testing programs more readable, by
- using a struct Header.
- 11-JUL-93 : Release 0.2, tiny fixes in several routines. Converted the
- documentation into PC-ASCII (CR-LF on each end-of-line)
- 11-AUG-93 : Release 0.3, fixed up docs & IFF picture. Removed bug from
- PARKERN.ASM (see file).
- 31-AUG-93 : Made a mistake in the docs, when using 2 packs of pull up
- resistors, their values should be 8K2, not 2K2. Optimized the
- PARKERN routines by using block move instructions.
- 02-SEP-93 : Release 0.4, eliminated the hardware interface. Now you can
- only connect 2 machines on the same cable. Rewrote PARKERN.ASM
- completely. Updated docs for V0.4.
