The network uses the MIDI port to allow disk sharing between two ST's that are both running MX2NET. The remote drives can be used just like your local drives but they will of course be slower because of the transfer of the data through the MIDI ports. The remote drives are defined in the MX2NET.INF file. This is a ascii file with the drive parameters all on one line. For example if you have cfr,dgr,eow in your file. ||| | / | \ \ / | \ \ remote local read write drive drive access access You will be able to access remote drive C as your local drive F read-only. Remote drive D will be G and remote drive E will be O with write access. If you wish to change the drives simply edit the MX2NET.INF file, reboot your ST and rerun the MX2NET.PRG. A max of 14 drives can be defined with P being the highest. If there is no MX2NET.INF file no drives will be defined locally but a remote machine still can access your drives. The MX2NET.OPT file defines program options. It is an ascii file with all option characters in lower case. Current options are: t : Get GEMDOS date and time from remote ST. Normally your "HOST" ST would not have this option set. o : Mask over existing drives. If this option is set it is possible to overlay a networked drive ID over a real drive on the local ST by assigning it's ID in the MX2NET.INF file. If this option is not set a cold-boot is needed before restarting MX2NET. m : Allow memory transfers to and from remote ST. Enables shared memory and remote operation. 5 : Remote ST is 520ST. Screen physical memory is found at 78000 HEX. Be sure to cross connec
