This is a beta release of the new Data Transport Agent (DTA) for eComStation. It is meant to improve the ability to handle datastreams in eCS, DOS and Win-OS/2 sessions. In addition it will enable virtual DOS sessions to play sound via a generic sounddriver, effectively bypassing the need for soundcard specific DOS drivers.

This software is distributed as compressed package. You have to download and manually install it; if prerequisites are required, you will have to manually install them too.

Manual installation

Program is distributed as ZIP package: download to temporary directory and unpack to destination folder.

Copy the driver OS2WAVE.drv to \os2\mdos\WINOS2\SYSTEM.

In your config.sys add the following lines:
device=driveletter:\path\DTA.SYS
device=driveletter:\path\VDTA.SYS
run=driveletter:\path\DTAD.EXE

In your system.ini, (which can be found in \os2\mdos\WINOS2) put the following line under th header [drivers]:

WAVE=OS2WAVE.DRV

If there are any other entries here like AUX=drivername, MIDI=drivername remove the
lines or you can also put the character ; in front the lines that should not
be processed. ; has the same effect as REM in the OS/2 config.sys.
