ZSoft Corporation's GENIUS.SYS is designed to work with the
Genius hand scanner. This scanner device driver presently has
only one option: DMA channel.
DMA channel: /C1 DMA channel 1
/C3 DMA channel 3
Example CONFIG.SYS entry:
DEVICE=GENIUS.SYS /C3
The driver is setup for the Genius 4500 and DMA channel 3.
This device driver does not support interrupts, therefore
to obtain the best performance, GENIUS.SYS requires EMS.
The scanner supports 100,200,300 and 400 Dots per inch.
Paint Brush may save buffers to the hard disk while scanning.
When the disk is accessed, scanlines are lost, resulting in gaps
in the image. To prevent this, the entire scan may be scanned into
Expanded Memory and then read back as required, greatly reducing the
chance of losing scan data.
Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
