Description
This document provides the information on how to install the serial and parallel drivers for MosChip MCS9865 PCI to Serial and Parallel I/O ports under DOS 6.22 environment. Normally any serial and parallel I/O ports can be supported by BIOS call services in DOS environment. However DOS supports only 4 serial ports and 3 parallel ports.

Contents available with Moschip DOS Driver Disk

GEMDOSIN.EXE DOS Driver Installation Guide. PDF --- DOS Utility to install ports. --- PDF Document of Installation Guide.

Options
The following options are available with the MCS9865 DOS Utility GEMDOSIN.EXE. -a[dd] -c[onfig]: <parameters> -d[elete] -s[ilent] -t[est] = To add Moschip Serial or Parallel I/O Ports = To configure Moschip Serial or Parallel I/O Ports = To delete Moschip Serial or Parallel I/O Ports = Silent mode = To Test the Moschip Serial or Parallel ports (requires external Loop-Back plugs)

Installation Procedure
The following procedure explains how to install MosChip serial and parallel I/O ports on DOS. Step 1: Copy "GEMDOSIN.exe" to 'C:\' Drive from Floppy. The command is "copy a:\ GEMDOSIN.exe c:\" Step 2: Type "gemdosin" to confirm Device detection. (Eg. MCS9865) Following information is displayed For 2 Serial and 1 Parallel Port
COM1 exists. COM2 exists LPT1 exists. PCI Device configurations. Found Moschip Semiconductor pci device 9865 (1000A000) Rev00 on Bus01 Slot 00 Found Moschip Semiconductor pci device 9865 (1000A000) Rev00 on Bus01 Slot 00 Found Moschip Semiconductor pci device 9865 (2000A000) Rev00 on Bus01 Slot 00 Detected 3 pci device(s) =============== COM1 exist at 3F8.

Step 3: type "gemdosin -a" and press Enter. (-a is used for adding Moschip ports). On Successful installation, information is displayed as below:

Following information is displayed For 2 Serial and 1 Parallel Port

COM1 exists COM2 exists LPT1 exists PCI Device configurations Found Moschip Semiconductor pci device 9865(1000A000) Rev00 on Bus01 Slot00 Serial port at 9000 Found Moschip Semiconductor pci device 9865(1000A000) Rev00 on Bus01 Slot00 Serial port at 9400 Found Moschip Semiconductor pci device 9865(2000A000) Rev00 on Bus01 Slot00 Printer port at 9800 Detected 3 pci device(s) =========================== COM1 exists at 3F8 COM2 exists at 2F8 COM3 added at 9000 (IRQ 9) COM4 added at 9400 (IRQ 11) LPT1 exists at 378 LPT2 added at 9800 (IRQ 6) ===========================

Moschip ports are installed successfully.

Step 4 : Just type "gemdosin -t" to test Moschip Serial or Parallel Ports. Need to connect external loop back connectors to the serial and parallel ports. Following information is displayed For 2 Serial and 1 Parallel Port
COM1 exists COM2 exists COM3 exists COM4 exists LPT1 exists LPT2 exists PCI device configurations. Found Moschip Semiconductor pci devices 9865(1000A000) Rev00 on Bus01 Slot00 Serial port at 9000 : Test pass. Found Moschip Semiconductor pci devices 9865(1000A000) Rev00 on Bus01 Slot00 Serial port at 9400 : Test pass Found Moschip Semiconductor pci devices 9865(2000A000) Rev00 on Bus01 Slot00 Printer port at 9800 : Test pass. Detected 3 pci device(s)
