Clarkson packet driver for PARnet-PC
Availability
The PARnet-PC packet driver is currently only available by me (the writer).
It will be in one package together with the interface description and
several interface testing routines. The current status of PARnet-PC is:
BUGware. So don't expect too much from it, I think it's only interesting
for those who want to develop it to a higher 'status'.
Mail:
This is the slowest way and most difficult way to get it. I can send
disks, but I must be sure to get the disks back (using checks, or other
ways to send money will be too expensive for you). So I won't do it this
way.
E-Mail:
It is possible to send me a request by E-mail. I will send the lastest
version back in UUencoded format (It will cost you nothing). But I'm not
reading my mail every day, and my account won't be present forever.
FTP:
If you can give me an address of an FTP-site which has a world-writable
directory, I can upload it there. I'm not going to put it on any
FTP-archive (like Aminet), since the package is BUGware.
FSP:
When you know what FSP is, you can FSP to 131.155.2.49 port 6669 to get
the package. My server is running on a VAX/VMS machine and it could be
possible that it crashes. Use E-mail when you can't get any connection.
The Clarkson packet driver collection
(! the PARnet-PC packet driver is not included !)
Availability
The Clarkson collection of packet drivers is available by FTP, by
archive-server, and by modem. They come in two flavors -- executables
only (drivers.zip), and source+executables (driverss.zip). All of the
following instructions apply to both drivers.zip and driverss.zip.
Mail:
I distribute the packet drivers on two 360K 5.25" disks, or a 720K
3.5" disk. I charge a fee for the service of copying and mailing
these disks. You can send me a check for $20, or you can send me a
purchse order and I will bill you for $22. NY residents add 7% sales
tax, overseas orders add $3 for shipping. If you send a check,
please be sure it is in US dollars -- the bank charges me $15 to
convert checks drawn in foreign currencies.
