Installing the VersaPoint Plus DOS Driver
Before you install your new software, make a backup copy of the original program disk using the DOS DISKCOPY command or the Windows disk copy utility in File Manager.
The Windows installation will automatically install the DOS Driver files. However, if you do not have Windows, you can copy the files onto your hard disk using the DOS COPY command. To do this:
Create a new directory for the files. The default directory used by the Windows installer is "c:\versaptp".
Copy all of the files in the "\DOS" directory on the VersaPoint Plus installation disk to this directory. To do this:
3. Using the VersaPoint Plus DOS Driver
The VersaPoint Plus DOS Driver is can be run by typing the following at the DOS prompt:
C:\"directory"\VPPDOS
where "directory" is the directory name where you installed the software. For example, if you installed the software into the default \versaptp directory, you would type:
C:\VERSAPTP\VPPDOS
The driver can be unloaded from memory by running the same command with a /u switch as follows:
C:\"directory"\VPPDOS /U
By default, the DOS driver will use the same COM port assignment that you configure in the Windows driver. However, you can override that assignment by using the /p switch:
C:\directory\VPPDOS /Px
where directory is the installed directory and x is the COM port number. You can also specify the port setting in the versaptp.ini file in the "port=" setting. Set the port number equal to the COM port number minus one. That is, COM1 would be port=0, COM2 would be port=1, etc. 3. Using the VersaPoint Plus Command Line Changes for DOS
For the VersaPoint Plus DOS driver, command line changes are used to adjust and activate the various features. To make command line changes, add the appropriate switches to the end of the VPPDOS command as shown. The commands are:
VPPDOS/? shows this list of commands VPPDOS/O# specifies the "up" orientation of VersaPoint device # = 0: normal up direction (default) # = 1: up to left # = 2: up is down, device is inverted # = 3: up to right
