LocalTalk PC Card: Version 2.0 Changes


Version 2.0 of the LocalTalk PC Card driver (ATALK.EXE) does not use
the card's hardware interrupt feature. This means that the default card
settings do not conflict with a COM2 serial port, and the LocalTalk PC
Card can coexist with other devices using hardware interrupts.

Conflicts with other cards are unlikely because the LocalTalk PC Card
driver uses relatively little used address spaces and M60 software
interrupts.

No changes were made to the LocalTalk PC Card driver with respect to the
DMA channels or card address range. The driver was rewritten and code
optimized to take up less space, and a numeration problem was fixed.
