Printer driver for IS-DOS

Khayushki, All! I have a printer with an IRPR interface. I wrote a small program under TR-DOS and it prints. But I have a long-standing dream of making this device print under ISDOS. Today I made an unsuccessful attempt to realize this dream. So I did the following actions: 1. I rewrote the printer driver onto a DOS disk and a DOS copier. 2. disassembled it 3. Found a bug 4. I added several statements to eliminate it. 5. assembled by ZXASM v.3.0. At the same time, I got an error that JR was jumping very far away. I replaced the number with a smaller one, deciding that it was simple disassembled letter in the driver decoding table. 6. wrote an object file. 7.in the doctor, the real commander changed the starting address in accordance with the address on source file. (Start:0001) 8. I rewrote the new driver onto the isdos disk using isdos tools. 9. I deleted part of the driver in the isdos text editor, which for some reason was inserted by the compiler, and represented some commands in text form (?) 10. Renamed the driver file so that it has the extension lpr 11. Pressed enter on this file to install the driver into memory. And here I have isdos flies off tightly. 12. rebooted ISDOS, removed the old printer driver and just loaded it written. But when you try to download the show.com program, the DOS IS is merged.HELP plz where did I make a mistake? Or better yet, compile me my corrected one driver so that it works. With the best, Dima Boyko.

I just disassembled it VERY CROSSLY, it won’t work at all, Why are you suffering, take IDA to the PC and it will do everything for you... DB> 6. wrote an object file. Or is it still a binary?

The drivers are all residents, and residents must have a relocation table at the end in order to load resident to ANY memory ADDRESS. In tr-dos there is no assembly for you will not create the table. So you disassemble again using the _A.com program, then you edit edit.com, then you assemble as.com and then you link resident with the /res key: link.com /res driver.obj.

Hello, Dima! 29 Dec 00 19:10, Dima Boyko -> Pawel Kislyak: DB>>> I have a printer with an IRPR interface. DB>>> Under TR-DOS I wrote a small program and it DB>>> prints. PK>> Try Text Print 1.7. DB> Where can I get it? Your interlocutor is its author. DB> And what is this anyway? text editor or printer. Printer. In terms of capabilities, it is not inferior to the best. IMHO. Do you want to print text or graphics? For graphics I can give you a rule program, Screen It's called Manager. I have never seen such a rulez on any platform or under one axis. This will definitely never happen at the PC. Yes, tell me the ports of your interface, I’ll write you a driver at the same time. WBR, Jason.
