Type:         comm/net
Architecture: m68k-amigaos

This is a serial.device compatible driver for use with the diskport.
It is some kind of >>cheap<< AmigaLink like device with only 
little 74xx one-chip hardware required that can be easily 
built by everybody.


Features:

 - Up to 31KB/sec on accelerated Amigas
 
 - Up to 6KB/sec on old Amiga 500 with LITTLE CPU USAGE
 
 - diskserial.device hardware can be used along with floppies

 - up to 4 Amigas can be linked to one diskport


History:

 V1.2a ---------------------------------------------------------

 Timing protocol little changed. "Short-packet" transmissions
 should be a bit faster now.
 
 V1.2 ----------------------------------------------------------
 
 I fixed the bug of V1.1/V1.1a, so the transmission should be
 more secure now.
 
 V1.1a ---------------------------------------------------------
 
 MAXIMA MEA CULPA     MAXIMA MEA CULPA     MAXIMA MEA CULPA
 
 When I removed all debugging code from diskserial.device V1.1
 for the Aminet, I removed a part of the transmission protocol
 (sender) by mistake, so that V1.1 DID NOT WORK.
 
 In this version, I removed the appropriate parts on receiver
 side, so that V1.1a should work now, but the transmission
 will be a bit insecure.
