			Gage Driver Demo Disk
			=====================

gage_cs220.device is a driver for the CompuScope 220 ISA Digital
Oscilloscope board.  With this driver and a GoldenGate 2 or GG2+
ISA/ZorroII bus bridge, you can use the CS220 on an Amiga. 

[IMPORTANT NOTE: The CS220 board will not work in an A3000 as-is.  It
 draws too much power on start-up and prevents the 3000's power supply
 from coming up.  It works fine on 2000s, 3000Ts, and 4000s, but not the
 standard 3000.  Gage can provide a modified board that works around the
 problem, or you can modify your own.  Please contact us for details.]

[NOTE: The driver has only been tested with the 32K board model, but
 should work with the other small (<512K) models.  It may not work
 without additional work on the large models.  I am unable to test this
 without access to a large-memory card.]

This demo disk contains gage_null.device, a demonstration and test
version of the driver that doesn't require a CS220 or even an ISA/Zorro
bus bridge.  It simulates the operation of the gage_cs220.device and
provides the same interface, and allows development of software for
gage_cs220.device when hardware is not availible.  Since
gage_cs220.device is a binddrivers-style device, and since
gage_null.device is based on much of the same code, the gage_null.device
is also a binddrivers style device and must be bound to an
autoconfiguring board on your system.  However, gage_null.device doesn't
actually access the board it is bound to, so it is safe to bind the
driver to any unbound board on your system.  A ram expansion board is a
good candidate. 

This disk also contains the full autodocs and headers necessary to
program for the gage_cs220.device, and to allow you to get a feel for
the capabilities of the real driver.  Or, with the gage_null.device,
you can develop complete applications for the CS220 without having the
hardware or driver availible. 

See the file README.DataWeb for information on the DataWeb, a complete
scientific data acquisition and processing environment that can be used
with the gage_cs220.device.

If you need a driver for other Gage Scientific hardware or require
features not supported in the current CS220 driver (for example,
non-automatic software triggering), please contact us. We may be able to
help.
