Driver Installation W2k/XP
"Int15dl" is not a plug-and-play driver, it must be installed manually:
1.
Open the "Control Panel".
2.
Double-click on "Add/Remove Hardware".
3.
To continue click the “Next>” button.
4.
On the page "Choose a Hardware Task", check "Add/Troubleshoot a device" and click "Next>".
5.
After "New hardware detection", a windows automatic procedure, choose "Add a new device" and click the
"Next>" button.
6.
In the "Find New Hardware" page, choose "No, I want to select the hardware from a list" and click "Next>".
7.
Choose "Other devices" in the "Hardware Type" list and click the "Next>" button.

Programming the Int15dl Interface under Windows
Programming of the Int15dl Interface is very similar to DOS programming, based on the DeviceIOControl function,
which operates with a pre-defined structure named "Registers".
Files:
Int15srv.h: contains definitions for the Registers structure.
Int15dlioctl.h: contains definitions for the IO control code constants.
Test_Int15dl.cpp: Sample subroutines providing access to hardware functions over the Int15dl driver.
Functions (Test_Int15dl.cpp)
bool Int15 (Registers *Regs): the main function, which sends user requests to the driver.
Returns true if the request finished successfully; otherwise it returns false.
Regs: address of the Registers structure containing specific request data (defined in Int15srv.h).
