Create driver, patch, or fix diskette from downloaded DigiFTP file. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have any problems or questions about any of the below Unix commands you should check your systems Unix manual or man pages for clarification. Because your system may use different commands or devices than the examples. Instructions below can be used for any driver, patch or fix file downloaded. A. DOS System - (move to step C if file is already on Unix system) * Format blank diskette (example: format a: or format b:) * Copy driver onto the formatted floppy (example: copy driver.Z a:) B. Unix System - Copy the downloaded driver onto your Unix system * Use your Unix dos copy command to copy file from DOS diskette to your Unix system. AIX systems use dosread instead of doscp. example: doscp a:driver.z driver.Z (period will put it in current Unix dir) C. Unix System - Uncompress driver file ** Uncompressed driver may be larger than you expect, proceed with ** following steps. Do not worry about file size * SCO Xenix, SCO Unix, Unix 3.2, SVR4, and AIX drivers. Run Unix uncompress command to restore file created with Unix compress. Uncompress expects the file extension to be uppercase z (.Z). If extension isn't uppercase Z use Unix command: mv driver.z driver.Z uncompress driver.Z E. Create a Unix formatted floppy to load driver onto. 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) F. Use Unix dd command to copy "driver" to the formatted Unix floppy example: dd if="driver" of="floppy drive" or cp "driver" "floppy drive". ** Do not use raw device with dd for "floppy drive" (omit r) ** Example dd if=1019g of=/dev/fd0135ds18 or of=/dev/dsk/f03ht cp 1019g /dev/rfd0135ds18 or /dev/rdsk/f03ht ** If still having problems you may need to setup a blocking size bs= ** (multiple of 20k) example: dd if="driver" of="floppy drive" bs=40k ** With the 'cp' command you do not need to worry about the blocking ** factor sizes. You now have a DigiBoard driver diskette as if were shipped from the factory use your systems driver installation utility to load driver.
