Description ----------- DLITEDOS is a DOS device driver which provides a disk activity 'light' for machines such as the IBM Model 95, which has no real light, but does have a display panel. It is not a true device driver; it provides a device called LIGHT$$$, which rejects all calls except that for initialisation. This occupies rather less memory than the equivalent terminate-and-stay-resident program. The driver works by sampling disk activity on each timer tick, and updating the display panel appropriately. To install DLITEDOS, just add a DEVICE statement to CONFIG.SYS, specifying the location of the DLITEDOS.SYS file, e.g.: DEVICE=C:\DOS\DLITEDOS.SYS By default, character code 255 (a dotted square) is sent to the display panel. This can be overridden by providing a different code, in decimal, as a parameter to the driver. For example: DEVICE=C:\DOS\DLITEDOS.SYS 65 History ------- Version 1.0 (September 1992) - Initial version Author ------ Bob Eager rde@tavi.co.uk http://www.tavi.co.uk/ps2pages/ Restrictions ------------ You may distribute this program freely as long as all of the files that make up the package (see below) are kept with it (including the source file) and you don't try to make money from it either by selling it directly or incorporating it into a product you sell.
