hello,
how fast are your pccomms, freewing´s or extand´s interfaces out there ?
lastweekend I build a yano/extand-parallel-port-2-replay-interface.
http://forums.segaxtreme.net/index.php?showtopic=15686
using his vxd under w98se. http://www1.odn.ne.jp/psx-alternative/laboratory_01.html
his vxd-driver routes from virtual pccomm-isa-port to LPT, so any soft using pccomm-card should work with yano/extand.
how fast should this be ?
(from my amiga-pc-laplink-experiences I was able to do 120 kb/s over LPT-port.)
using charles mcdonald´s sat.exe:
my yano-interface is only 35 kb/s fast vs. original PCCOMMS-ISA-LINK-CARD 100 kb/s.
(I stopped per hand the transfer of 500kb file, all my kb/s-values rounded.)
(tested also with a psx and caetla´s psexe.exe, which has a native extand-mode, so I can test pccomm-isa 100 kb/s vs. native extand 50 kb/s vs. virtual-pccom-isa-port 35 kb/s.)
other problem - power voltage for interface:
with original datel AR transfer of big files is unstable at 3v, 4.5v, 6v or 7.5v
with EMS 4in1 it works stable from 3v-6volt (7.5v not tested)
(gamebuster on psx wants atleast 6volt to work)
I used HCT coz my local dealer had no HC chips.
the AR has for the 74__245 a HC the EMS a ALS, so this is maybe the problem, if LOW-output from the HC (inside the AR) is over 0.8volt it is in undefined range for the HCT (used on my yano-interface).
