Create VMS driver diskette from downloaded DigiFTP file. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Instructions below are specific to VMS device driver images distributed by Digi International, inc. A. Downloading file to DOS System to create a VMS diskette * Download the desired binary diskette image from the BBS or FTP site. * Download from BBS or FTP site rawrite.exe dos utility. This will allow to create a VMS driver disk from the DOS system by writing the disk image to floppy. Rawrite can be found either; Digi FTP site ftp.dgii.com/pub/shareware/dos/rawrite.exe * DOS format a blank 1.44M floppy diskette Example: format a: /u * Self-extract rawrite.exe file Run rawrite3.com It will prompt you to enter source file name: Enter name of file you downloaded It will prompt you to enter destination driver (A or B) Enter A or B for appropriate diskette driver It will now write disk image to floppy diskette * You now have a DigiBoard driver diskette as if were shipped from the factory. See the software manual and your system documentation for information on using the DEC Polycenter software to install the device driver. B. Downloading file to Unix System to create a VMS diskette * Format a Unix floppy Examples SCO: format /dev/rfd0135ds18 (3 1/2 hi den) Unix 3.2: format /dev/rdsk/f03ht (3 1/2 hi den) SVR4: format /dev/rdsk/f03ht (3 1/2 hi den) AIX: format /dev/fd0 (3 1/2 hi den) * Download the desired binary diskette image from the BBS or FTP site. * Use Unix dd command to copy "driver" to the formatted Unix floppy example: dd if="driver" of="floppy drive" bs=60k ** Do not use raw device with dd for "floppy drive" (omit r) ** Example dd if=1019s.bin of=/dev/fd0135ds18 bs=60k or dd if=1019s.bin of=/dev/dsk/f03ht bs=60k * You now have a DigiBoard driver diskette as if were shipped from the factory. See the software manual and your system documentation for information on using the DEC Polycenter software to install the device driver. C. Downloading file to VMS System to create a VMS diskette * There is currently NO supported way to obtain a useable diskette from the binary images using only a VMS system.
