47.0. "3rd party drivers?" by CHARON::BRUCKMAN () Thu Mar 05 1992 18:17

    Is there a list of third parties that have written VAXELN drivers
    for the KAV30, such that we can directly refer a customer to the
    3rd party?

I would really like to see this question answered, not only for 3rd party
drivers, but Digital-written drivers, as well.  Basically, customers tend to
ask the simple question "What drivers are available?"  It would be immensely
helpful if the (up-to-date) answer were available in this conference.

	The only KAV30 drivers I know are those developed
	for internal projects.
	I suggest to put here the list with a brief description
	of the software/hardware functionality.

47.3Driver for the PEP VDAD I/O boardEICMFG::BURKEJim Burke, @UFCTue Mar 31 1992 16:289
	If this is any use to you, I wrote this driver as a template for the
	KAV30 Toolkit. It is incomplete in that it does not drive the full
	functionality of this board (eg. Dig-in's, Dig-out's, Anal-out).
	It was written to access the analog sampling by polling and also by 
	interrupt, thus giving some useful performance figures.

	The structure of this driver is the 'linkable module' type. That is;
	the user application just links the driver modules with his own process.
47.4Driver for the Radstone SIO-4EICMFG::BURKEJim Burke, @UFCTue Mar 31 1992 16:4012
	The Radstone SIO-4 serial line multiplexor is a firmware and/or 
	downloadable 68020-based module, handling up to 16 lines.

	In our current project, we are having special firmware developed
	(specifically to handle DIN 19244 traffic) for this module.
	We are currently developing a full-blown driver to interface with it.

	This driver is the 'job' type. It exists as it's own job, and
	I/O requests are made using ELN 'AREA' and 'CIRCUIT' objects.

    Digital does not supply any supported VMEbus device drivers as part of the
    VAXELN KAV TOOLKIT EXTENSIONS FOR VMS (KAV30 software) layered product. 
    The device driver examples shipped with the KAV30 software are intended
    as templates for customers to use in the implementation of their own.

    Drivers developed on a custom project basis, and by our partner
    companies were going to be made available via the ASSETS program, I'm
    not up-to-date as to how things are proceeding on this though.
