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

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.

6546.zipSUBJECT: DOS INT14 & FOSSIL Driver readme.txt
for Comtrol(TM) RocketPort(R) Series Controllers
DRIVER: 6546 (RCKTFOSS.EXE, RFSMALL.EXE, RFMULTI.EXE)
VERSION: 1.71
REVISED: 12/15/97
OVERVIEW
======================================
RCKTFOSS is a DOS terminate-stay-resident (TSR) program that
provides a software interface for controlling RocketPort serial
cards. The "FIDO/Opus/SEAdog Standard Interface Layer" (FOSSIL)
has been a longtime standard for connecting BBS software to
multiport serial cards. INT14 BIOS functions are also supported
with the -j option.
RCKTFOSS requires a approximately 60K of memory and can
be loaded into high memory using the DOS 'loadhigh' command.
A non-buffered version, RFSMALL, is included which takes only
24K of memory. RFMULTI is another version which will work with
multiple RocketPort cards.
HELP
======================================
This driver includes command line help. To access help,
type RCKTFOSS -H at the DOS command line and press Enter.
LOADING THE DRIVER
======================================
To load the driver, issue the following DOS command line from
either the DOS prompt or a batch file:
[loadhigh] rcktfoss [-option -option]
Example: rcktfoss -p180 -c3 -l38400 -mn8
The options are explained in detail following the QUICKSTART.
QUICKSTART
======================================
Here are some typical driver configurations:
rcktfoss.exe -p180 -c3 -mn8
Multiport setup for ISA-bus RocketPort. This supports 8 ports
starting at COM3 (FOSSIL & INT14 Port:2). The RocketPort base
address is 180H.
rcktfoss.exe -b -c3 -mn8 -l38400
Multiport setup for PCI-bus RocketPort. This supports 8 ports
starting at COM3 (FOSSIL Port:2). Baud Rates will be locked
at 38400 for all ports.
rcktfoss.exe -p180 -c1
Single port setup for ISA-bus RocketPort. This supports 1 port
(COM1,fossil:0). It will use the first port on the RocketPort.
rcktfoss.exe -p180 -c1 -o1
Single port setup for ISA-bus RocketPort. This supports 1 port
using the 2nd port on the RocketPort board, but the program
will see it as COM1.
rcktfoss.exe -j -p180 -f0 -l9600
Single port setup for ISA-bus RocketPort using INT14 BIOS calls.
The base address is 180H, flow control is set to none (-f0),
and the baud rate is locked at 9600.
rfmulti.exe -mn24 -p180,100 -k8,16
Multiport, multiple board setup for two ISA-bus RocketPorts.
First RocketPort has 8 ports and a base I/O address of 180h,
while second RocketPort has 16 ports and a base I/O address
of 100h.

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.

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]

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.

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.

Product Overview
The RocketPort PCI 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 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 cards in one PC, with up to 128
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.

DRIVER: 6546 (RCKTFOSS.EXE, RFSMALL.EXE, RFMULTI.EXE)
VERSION: 1.71
REVISED: 12/15/97
OVERVIEW
======================================
RCKTFOSS is a DOS terminate-stay-resident (TSR) program that
provides a software interface for controlling RocketPort serial
cards. The "FIDO/Opus/SEAdog Standard Interface Layer" (FOSSIL)
has been a longtime standard for connecting BBS software to
multiport serial cards. INT14 BIOS functions are also supported
with the -j option.
RCKTFOSS requires a approximately 60K of memory and can
be loaded into high memory using the DOS 'loadhigh' command.
A non-buffered version, RFSMALL, is included which takes only
24K of memory. RFMULTI is another version which will work with
multiple RocketPort cards.
HELP
======================================
This driver includes command line help. To access help,
type RCKTFOSS -H at the DOS command line and press Enter.
LOADING THE DRIVER
======================================
To load the driver, issue the following DOS command line from
either the DOS prompt or a batch file:
[loadhigh] rcktfoss [-option -option]
Example: rcktfoss -p180 -c3 -l38400 -mn8
The options are explained in detail following the QUICKSTART.
QUICKSTART
======================================
Here are some typical driver configurations:
rcktfoss.exe -p180 -c3 -mn8
Multiport setup for ISA-bus RocketPort. This supports 8 ports
starting at COM3 (FOSSIL & INT14 Port:2). The RocketPort base
address is 180H.
rcktfoss.exe -b -c3 -mn8 -l38400
Multiport setup for PCI-bus RocketPort. This supports 8 ports
starting at COM3 (FOSSIL Port:2). Baud Rates will be locked
at 38400 for all ports.
rcktfoss.exe -p180 -c1
Single port setup for ISA-bus RocketPort. This supports 1 port
(COM1,fossil:0). It will use the first port on the RocketPort.
rcktfoss.exe -p180 -c1 -o1
Single port setup for ISA-bus RocketPort. This supports 1 port
using the 2nd port on the RocketPort board, but the program
will see it as COM1.
rcktfoss.exe -j -p180 -f0 -l9600
Single port setup for ISA-bus RocketPort using INT14 BIOS calls.
The base address is 180H, flow control is set to none (-f0),
and the baud rate is locked at 9600.
rfmulti.exe -mn24 -p180,100 -k8,16
Multiport, multiple board setup for two ISA-bus RocketPorts.
First RocketPort has 8 ports and a base I/O address of 180h,
while second RocketPort has 16 ports and a base I/O address
of 100h.

History
20 Mar 2000 - 5.05
Updated AIORCKT.DOC
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.
-WRD
11 Feb 99 - V5.03
Modify FINDRCKT to identify RP 4RJ, fix 32port bug.
-FABA
20 May 98 - V5.02
Recompile AIORCKT using SDK 2.0c for 3.12 compatibility. Add 56K V.90 RocketModem definitions.
Tinker with AcquirePort to reject HYPERBAUD attempts on non-HYPERBAUD (i.e., non-921) boards.
-FABA
14 Apr 98 - V5.01
NWCCON fails to complete initialization of ports associated with modems defined as 'United Kingdom' or 'United States'. Altered modem descriptions to 'UK' and 'USA'.
-FABA
1 Apr 98 - V5.00
Added international RocketModem support. Added error and info code numbers.
-FABA
9/30/97 - V4.02
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).
