Disclaimer of Warrenty
----------------------
Users of this software must accept this disclaimer of warranty: "This
software is supplied AS IS. Mark Becker disclaims all warranties, expressed
or implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of merchantability
and of fitness for any purpose. Mark Becker assumes no liability for
damages, direct or consequential, which may result from the use of this
software."
Purpose
-------
Write a disk image file to a floppy disk.
Equipment/Software Requirements
-------------------------------
* PC/XT/AT or 100% compatible with at least 256K of RAM and a floppy disk
drive.
* MS-DOS version 3.21 or greater.
* A formatted diskette.
This program uses well-documented generic low-level DOS and BIOS functions.
It should run on nearly every PC in existance. PS/2's should be able to run
RaWrite but this has not been tested.
CAVEAT
------
This program will write ANY disk file to a floppy, overwriting any previous
information that may have been present. If you wish to re-use a diskette
that has been written to by RaWrite then that diskette will probably need to
be reformatted; all MS-DOS specific information will have been erased.
Usage
-----
C> RAWRITE
And follow the prompts. All arguments are case-insensitive.
If the source and destination drives are the same, RaWrite will ask the user
to swap diskettes as required. Rawrite allocates a large buffer in RAM to
reduce the number of disk swaps.
RaWrite may be aborted at any time by typing ^C or CTRL-Break.

Using MiniCom to Test
Comtrol Serial Ports
This procedure discusses how to use MiniCom in Linux to test ports using a null-modem cable connected
between two ports. If necessary, cabling information is available in each product’s hardware installation
documentation.
Note: This document uses ports ttyR0 and ttyR1 in the examples. You will
Note: Linux is case sensitive, be sure to use the proper case. tty is lower case, R, V and SI are in uppercase.
Instructions for testing modem products are included at the end of this document.
Testing Serial Ports
Use this procedure to test serial ports:
1. Verify that the driver has been installed and loaded using the installation documentation.
2. Connect a null-modem cable to Ports 0 and 1 on the device.
3. Log in to Linux if you have not already do so.
4. At the system prompt, change directory to the /dev directory so that a listing of the created Comtrol ports
may be seen.
[root@localhost/root]# cd /dev
5. List the Comtrol ports.
[root@localhost/dev]# ls ttyR*
This should show the tty ports that have been installed beginning at 0 (zero) and sequentially numbered
to the highest port on the device. For example, a RocketPort 16 has ttyR0 through ttyR15 displays as:
ttyR0 ttyR10 ttyR12 ttyR14 ttyR2 ttyR4 ttyR6 ttyR8
ttyR1 ttyR11 ttyR13 ttyR15 ttyR3 ttyR5 ttyR7 ttyR9
6. Return to the home directory:
[root@localhost/dev]# cd ..
7. Start Minicom with the setup option to configure the appropriate port.
[root@localhost/root]# minicom -s
The following warning message may appear:
minicom:Warning: Configuration file not found, using defaults
The following screen should appear:
[Configuration]
Filenames and paths
File transfer protocols
Serial port setup
Modem and dialing
Screen and keyboard
Save setup as dfl
Save setup as...

Exit from Minicom
8. Using the up and down arrow keys select Serial port setup. The following window should appear:
A - Serial Device : /dev/modem
B - Lockfile Location : /var/lock
C - Callin Program
D - Callout Program
E - Bps/Par/Bits : 38400 8N1
F - Hardware Flow Control : Yes
G - Software Flow Control : No
Change which setting?
9. Enter a and the cursor should move to the end of A - Serial Device : /dev/modem.
10. Using the backspace key, change modem to ttyRx (
where x is a number of the port to test. This example uses Ports 0 for the first terminal window, so the
line should read, A - Serial Device : /dev/ttyRx
Note: Linux is case sensitive, be sure to use the proper case. In this the first terminal window we will use
Port 0, so the line should read A - Serial Device : /dev/ttyR0
11. With the cursor at the Change which setting? option, press the Enter key to close this screen and return to
the configuration screen.

Terminal Sessions in UnixWare 2.1.x
The following procedure is a step-by-step example of how
to enable login services and log in under UnixWare 2.1.x.
Adapt this procedure as needed.
Enabling Login Services
This example enables port r0a for direct connection at
38,400 baud.
1. Connect a null modem cable from RocketPort Board 1,
Port 0, to the modem port of a dumb terminal.
2. Set the terminal modem port baud rate to 38400, 8
data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit. If needed, reinitialize
the terminal so that it is using the new settings.
3. Enter this command to create a port monitor named
rckttest:
/comtrol/rckt/addttymon rckttest
4. Enter this command to create port service:
/comtrol/rckt/addttysrv rckttest r0a 38400_8N
5. From the terminal, enter your login name and
password. If you get gibberish in response, check the
terminal baud rate setting and verify that it matches
the baud rate setting on the server port. If you get an
intelligible response but still can’t log in, check the
parity and data bits settings.
To see the current settings for the RocketPort port,
enter this command on the system console:
stty -a < /dev/term/r0a
6. From the terminal, move around the system and open
files to verify that everything is working correctly.
Access the dcu utility to verify that the system is
interpreting ASCII control sequences correctly.
7. When you are finished, type exit and log out.
Solving Printer-Related Problems
To identify and resolve printer problems not related to
transparent print, follow these steps:
1. Verify that a serial printer is powered up, connected to
the correct port, and on-line.
2. Verify that the printer is connected using the correct
cable. See the RocketPort Hardware Installation Card
and your printer manual for connector pinouts and
cable specifications.
3. Move the printer to a standard serial port, and try it
there. If it works on a standard port but not on a
RocketPort, the problem may lie in the RocketPort
board or port configuration.
4. Move the printer back to a RocketPort port.
5. Enter this command to send a file directly to the
printer port:
cat /etc/termcap >/dev/term/rXX
Where XX is the port to which the printer is attached.
a. If you get nothing, check to make sure the device
driver is loaded, the port is enabled, and that you
are in fact connected to the port you think you’re
connected to. If all of this is true, connect the
printer to the COM1 or COM2 port and repeat this
step. If the printer still fails to print, the problem is
in the printer. If the printer does print, run the
RocketPort diagnostic.
b. If you get a partial file printout or garbled
characters, go to the sections on Flow Control.
c. If the file is printed correctly, but you are unable to
print from an application, check the application
setup.
d. If the file is printed correctly, but you are unable to
print through the UNIX spooler, go to the section
on UNIX Spooler Problems.

Solving Modem-Related Problems
If you have problems connecting to a modem-equipped
port, disconnect the cable to the modem or turn off the
modem. You can use the cu command to test a port with no
modem present. After connecting to the port, reconnect or
power on the modem and set the modem parameters.
The most useful tool for diagnosing dial-out problems is
the -d9 option to cu. Using this option causes cu to display
diagnostic output. To do so, follow this syntax:
cu -d9 -l devicename phonenumber
Where devicename is the port you are trying to use and
phonenumber is the number you are trying to dial.
If you get a “connected” message when you test the modem
with cu but no response to an AT command, follow these
steps:
1. Move the modem to a standard serial port and try it
there. If it works on a standard port but not on a
RocketPort port, the problem lies in the RocketPort
board or port configuration.
2. Move the modem back to the RocketPort port.
3. Verify that the modem switch and software settings
are correct.
4. Check the modem cable to make sure it is attached at
both ends.
5. After issuing the cu command, press Enter several
times and watch the lights on the modem. The receive
light should flash. If only the send light flashes, the
local echo may be turned off. Use the ATE1 command to
turn on the modem’s local echo feature.
6. If no lights flash, the modem cable may be defective.
Replace it.
7. Use the RocketPort Diagnostics to verify that the port is
working.
Solving Printer-Related Problems
To identify and resolve printer problems not related to
transparent print, follow these steps:
1. Verify that a serial printer is powered up, connected to
the correct port, and on-line.
2. Verify that the printer is connected using the correct
cable. See the RocketPort Hardware Installation Card
and your printer manual for connector pinouts and
cable specifications.
3. Move the printer to a standard serial port, and try it
there. If it works on a standard port but not on a
RocketPort, the problem may lie in the RocketPort
board or port configuration.
4. Move the printer back to a RocketPort port.
5. Enter this command to send a file directly to the
printer port:
cat /etc/termcap >/dev/term/rXX
Installing the Device Driver
After installing the RocketPort card and extracting the
driver, follow these steps to install the RocketPort driver.
1. Boot the system, login as the system administrator
(root), and invoke the pkgadd utility.
pkgadd rckt
2. Press Enter to select the ALL option.
3. Select the number and type of cards you are installing
by answering the questions presented during the
install. See the Hardware Installation Card for I/O
DIP switch settings for ISA series cards.
4. Shutdown the system and turn the computer off:
shutdown -y -i6 -g0
5. Configure the RocketPort cards using the information
in the following discussions.

Before you install the RocketPort device driver for SCO
UnixWare 7, you must:
• Install the RocketPort card or cards using the
Hardware Installation Card that came with your card
or download it from the web/ftp sites.
• Remove any older RocketPort device driver that may be
on your system.
• Obtain and extract the current driver files.
Removing the Existing Driver
Follow these steps to remove the existing RocketPort
driver:
1. Log in as the system administrator (root) and invoke
the pkgrm utility. Use this syntax:
pkgrm rckt
2. If you have other drivers to remove at this time, do so.
3. Shut down and reboot the system so that your changes
take effect.
shutdown -y -i6 -g0
Extracting the Driver Files
This driver is released in a .z file. The package is released
with the following file name format:
180xxxxY.tar.Z
where:
180xxxx is the Comtrol file name.
Y is the revision letter.
tar.Z means that the file has been compressed.
Note: The doscp command does not exist in UnixWare 7.
The following procedure requires that you have
Skunkware™ loaded so that you can use the mcopy
command.
1. Insert the diskette that contains the UnixWare 7 file
you downloaded.
2. Copy the 180xxxxY.tar.Z file from the floppy to the
/var/spool/pkg directory. For example:
mcopy a:180xxxxY.tar.Z /var/spool/pkg/180xxxxY.Z
3. Return to the command prompt as root, go to the /var/
spool/pkg directory, and type the following commands
to create a directory structure named rckt.
uncompress 180xxxxY.Z
tar xvf 180xxxxY
4. Go to Installing the Device Driver to install the driver.
Solving Modem-Related Problems
If you have problems connecting to a modem-equipped
port, disconnect the cable to the modem or turn off the
modem. You can use the cu command to test a port with no
modem present by using the loopback plug. Attach the
loopback plug to the port being tested and enter data; it
should appear (echo) to your screen.
After connecting to the port, reconnect or power on the
modem and set the modem parameters.
If you get a “connected” message when you test the modem
with cu but no response to an AT command, follow these
steps:
1. After issuing the cu command, press Enter several
times and watch the lights on the modem. The receive
light should flash. If only the send light flashes, the
local echo may be turned off. Use the ATE1 command to
turn on the modem’s local echo feature.

Contains all hardware-related information, including connectors and interfaces. 422 Hardware
Installation Guide
Product Overview
The RocketPort PCI 422 series multiport serial card fits into the PCI slot of a
personal computer, and uses a 36 MHz processor that is specifically designed to
process asynchronous serial communications. The RocketPort PCI 422 supports
RS-422 exclusively, in either DTE or DCE mode.
The RocketPort PCI 422 series uses Application Specific Integrated Circuits
(ASICs) technology to replace most hardware components, including:
• The processor
• A serial controller
• Bus interface logic and other miscellaneous logic
You can install up to four RocketPort PCI 422 cards in one PC, with up to 32
additional serial ports, and you can install any combination of PCI-bus and ISAbus
RocketPort cards.
RocketPort
Terminology
For the purposes of the following discussions, “RocketPort ISA” cards means any
interface type including 4-port RJ45, 8-port RJ11, Quadcable, and Octacable, or 8/
16/32-port model.
These products are referred to as “RocketPort PCI” cards:
• RocketPort PCI-bus boards (any interface type including 4-port RJ45, 8-port
RJ11, Quadcable, Octacable, and 8/16/32-port models)
• RocketPort Plus models
• RocketPort PCI 422 models
• RocketPort Universal PCI-bus boards (any interface type including Quadcable,
Octacable, 8-port low profile, 16/32-port models)
Before Installing the Hardware
Read this subsection:
• If you already have one or more RocketPort ISA cards installed in your
system.
• If you plan to install a combination of RocketPort ISA and RocketPort PCI
cards at this time.
Existing RocketPort
ISA Cards Installed
You must deconfigure and remove any existing RocketPort ISA cards before
installing RocketPort PCI cards. After you have successfully installed the
RocketPort PCI cards, reinstall the RocketPort ISA cards.
Explanation
The BIOS on your computer automatically handles I/O addressing for RocketPort
PCI cards when you first power up the computer after installing the cards.
I/O addresses for RocketPort ISA cards are set manually using DIP switches on
the card. If you install an ISA card before installing a RocketPort PCI card, the
ISA card addressing may interfere with the computer’s ability to recognize the
RocketPort PCI card which may prevent the PCI card from functioning properly.
Additional
Considerations
If you are mixing RocketPort ISA and PCI cards, set the DIP switches on the ISA
cards so that the first ISA card that you install is the “first” card for I/O
addressing purposes, even if it is physically the second, third, or fourth card that
you install.

You can use the interactive Table of Contents to locate the information you need.
Note: All blue underlined text are jumps to the information referenced.
Driver Requirements
This document discusses installing and configuring the RocketPort/RocketModem series driver for the Novell
operating system.
• NetWare 4.1x (MPR 3.1A or higher and/or NetWare Connect 2.0.30 or higher)
• IntranetWare I with NIAS (Support Pack V1.0)
• NetWare 5.0
Locating Information
For hardware specific information or the product overview, see the Hardware Installation documentation that
is available on the Comtrol CD or you can download the current version from the ftp/web site.
Comtrol documents are available in electronic form on the Comtrol web/ftp site. Driver updates can be
downloaded at no charge from the Comtrol web/ftp site. Always check the web or ftp sites to make sure that
you have the current driver and documentation.
Installation Overview
The driver installation process follows this basic outline:
1. Prepare the installation media. If you received the driver in zipped format (as a single file with a .zip
extension), extract the driver files and create an installation diskette or copy the files to the /system
directory on the server.
Note: For information about extracting files, see extract.htm.
2. If you created a diskette, copy the driver files into the /system directory on the server.
3. Initialize and configure the driver.
4. If you use NetWare Connect or a similar third-party product, use the load command to initialize the
driver, then use nwccon (4.1.x) or niascfg (5.x) to configure the driver and external devices.
Note: If you use nwccon for 5.x, you get a modified version of nwccon.
5. If you use NIAS or MPR, use inetcfg (4.1.x) or niascfg (5.x) to initialize and configure the driver and
external devices.
6. Down and restart the server.
7. Resume normal operations.

RocketPort and RocketModem
Driver Installation for Linux
Installation Procedure
Use this procedure to install the driver.
1. If you have not done so already, install the hardware using the Hardware
Installation documentation.
2. If necessary, download the current device driver, copy and extract the files to
the /usr/src directory on the Linux system. For example:
Change to the /usr/src directory and use the untar command.
cd /usr/src
tar xzvf filename.tar.gz
A subdirectory of /usr/src now exists called comtrol. This contains the
RocketPort/RocketModem driver and associated files.
3. Recompile the RocketPort/RocketModem driver.
Note: This is not always necessary, depending on the version of your kernel,
but it is safe to do.
make clean
make
4. Install the RocketPort/RocketModem driver as root:
make install
5. If you are using more than one ISA RocketPort/RocketModem board, or have
installed an ISA RocketPort or RocketModem board at a non-standard
address, you will need to set up the file /etc/rocketport.conf. The /usr/src/comtrol
directory contains a sample rocketport.conf file. Copy it to the /etc directory and
edit it according to the comments contained in the file.
Note: This step is NOT necessary, if you are using only PCI RocketPort or
RocketModem boards.
6. Optionally, edit your /etc/rc.d/rc.S file (or other appropriate boot-up script) so
that the rc.rocket script runs automatically each time your system boots. This
is done for you automatically if you are using a system with System V init files,
such as is used in the RedHat or Debian releases.
7. Either reboot to load the driver into the currently running system, or
manually load the driver running the rc.rocket script with the start argument.
For example:
/rc.rocket start
8. Configure your applications and/or your getty scripts as appropriate for your
application.
Note: The RocketModem looks to Linux like a RocketPort card with modems
attached; you can refer to the RocketModem AT command set on the
Comtrol CD or ftp/web sites.
9. For PCI-ONLY installation:
Edit the rocketport.conf script to remove or comment out the boardx=0xxx"
statement.
10. Optionally, edit your /etc/rc.d/rc.S† file so that the rc.rocket script runs
automatically each time the system boots. For example:
/bin/sh /etc/rc.d/rc.rocket
†This file may have a different file name, depending upon the Linux
distribution type.
Note: The rc.rocket script requires that setrocket be installed in the /bin
directory. The setrocket program creates the ttyRx devices (where x is a
number designating the port). The setrocket program is structured much
like the familiar setserial program, and performs a similar function.

DISCLAIMER
This is not the recommended solution for multiport serial board
development. You should consider some standard solutions prior to
committing to this RocketPort specific code. Consider using Comtrol's MSDOS
INT14-FOSSIL driver which is a MSDOS TSR. The advantage here is that
other drivers for standard com-ports and other multiport products exist,
and the driver is a separate component maintained by Comtrol.
The INT14-FOSSIL driver can perform as a standard INT14 PC COMM BIOS
driver or as a more powerful INT14 FOSSIL driver. An INT14 FOSSIL
driver is an enhanced INT14-BIOS driver which
is capable of block reads and writes. The FOSSIL INT14 extensions
have been popular for BBS use. The INT14-FOSSIL driver can also be
run in multiple DOS-BOXes in a multitasking environment.
The INT14-FOSSIL driver also contains sample C code to make
your development easier.
So in other words, please DO NOT use this DOSAPI tool set if you
do not have to. Download and attempt to use the MSDOS INT14/FOSSIL
driver for MSDOS development. Download and use the Windows driver
for Windows development.
Comtrol will provide no additional development assistance with this
code. What you see is what you get. We will be happy to accept
bug reports, and to attempt to maintain this code, but we will not
offer general development assistance.
Examples:
* If the RocketPort hardware does not satisfy your needs, or
you feel it is not documentation adequately, we cannot offer
additional help. Further hardware documentation is considered
proprietary, and is not available.
* If you want to compile this code using a GUI tool set(Visual-C)
you are on your own, we will not provide assistance in doing so.
* If you need to use the HUGE memory model, we cannot provide
assistance in doing so. You are expected to have the software
expertise.
* If this code set does not function for you, it is assumed that
you have the expertise to fix it. We cannot offer direct
assistance in doing so.
DISCLAIMER, REAL TIME DEVELOPMENT
The RocketPort hardware is not a good choice for generating
event based interrupts. If you are looking for hardware which
is very proficient at generating interrupts, then look at
16550 hardware. The RocketPort hardware is geared at moving
lots of data efficiently, preferably without interrupts.
INSTALLING
To install, make a new directory and copy the DOSAPI.ZIP file into it.
Then run>PKUNZIP -D DOSAPI.ZIP
(Use the -D option to unpack the directory structure.)
This should unpack things and you should find a
SAMPLE, TEXT and BAUD directory within this directory.
To test the installation, go into the SAMPLE directory and run
TERML.EXE. The TERM.C program uses a new auto-detect feature
aaAutoConfig() which requires no installation setup. It will
perform the appropriate PCI-BIOS calls to locate any PCI boards,
and will also search for ISA-boards.

11 Feb 00 - V5.04
Update the driver to support the PCI RocketModem boards. Also added support for PCI detection by making the driver NBI aware. The FINDRCKT DOS utility has been removed and its functionality has been moved inside the driver and can be used by entering 'LOAD AIORCKT FINDPCI'. With The PCI detection now in the driver the method of loading the driver for a PCI board has been changed to 'LOAD AIORCKT PCI'. A simple terminal utility, 'RCKTTERM.NLM', has been added. It provides a way of selecting a board and a port or ports for LOOPBACK testing or a method of talking directly to a modem.

This release adds support for the Ring Indicator status bit on the RocketPort Plus (921) board. It also fixes a problem with NOVELLs 'GetPortsRollCall'. It returned 0 for the 'external status' and 'changed external status' fields.
-WRD
8/13/97 - V4.01
This release is essentially the same as V4.00. It was necessary to change the revision because of the way the files are grouped when the driver is shipped. The problem was in INETCFG. It was impossible to select the HYPERBAUD option for the 921 board. This required changes to the AIORCKT.ADI file. To keep revisions straight it became necessary to rev the driver. This driver did ship on the RocketModem diskette (6550).

INSTALLATION PREREQUISITES
1. This guide assumes that you have already installed the
Windows NT operating system (OS) and that you understand
OS operation. This product was developed and tested
using Windows NT Release 3.51, Windows NT Release 4.0,
BackOffice 4.0, Terminal Server 4.0, and Citrix WinFrame
Release 1.7.
These instructions are based on Windows NT Release 4.0.
If you are using another version, adapt the instructions
as needed.
2. You must have at least one RocketPort or RocketModem
adapter installed before installing this driver. See the
hardware documentation for more information.
3. If you are using NT 3.51 or an early version of NT 4.0
with no service packs applied, and using the
RocketPort/RocketModem adapter to provide dial-in (RAS)
access to the NT server, verify that NetBEUI is installed
before installing RAS.
Under NT 4.0, RAS will not work properly unless you have
at least Service Pack 3 applied. For more information
about service packs and updates, contact Microsoft.
4. If you are installing the RocketPort/RocketModem in a
server without an existing network adapter (NIC), you
must install network services and the Microsoft Loopback
Adapter software first. See the Microsoft documentation
for more information.
5. Finally, if you are upgrading from an earlier version of
the RocketPort/RocketModem device driver software, you
must remove the old software before installing this new
