Frank there is no “device driver” written that I am aware of yet for the Dual IDE board. At least in the traditional sense of the word for a device driver.
The approach instead was to incorporate the interface code in the 8086 ROM BIOS using the standard MSDOS/PC disk interrupt calls (floppy and hard disks). This way a “standard” Microsoft MSDOS disk can run unaltered on the system – at least up to MS-DOS V4.01. Later versions will need more work! The 8086 (and 80386) monitors are by now fairly elaborate – still evolving but can be seen here:- http://s100computers.com/Software%20Folder/8086%20Monitor/8086%20Monitor.htm http://s100computers.com/Software%20Folder/80386%20Monitor/80386%20Monitor.htm Note, as things currently stand you would also need to have the MSDOS Support board, S100 board (or its chips equivalent) as well. Hope this helps John From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Frank Schieschke Sent: Saturday, April 12, 2014 9:31 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [N8VEM-S100:3082] S-100 (dual) IDE Interface board MS-DOS device driver exists? Hello, is there any existent MS-DOS device driver for the S-100 interface board? I want to use the S-100 Dual IDE Interface for my SCP 8086 system. The system boots MS-DOS 2.0, configured for the Tarbell MD-2022 Floppy controller. There is a hard disk driver comes with MS-DOS 2.0, but i don't know for which controller hardware. I attached the asm and the LST files. The hdisk.dev files is called from config.sys.
