spec drivers are available for the DSP 6001/6002 with PC004 for PC platforms, the Kinetic Systems 3922 with 2926 for PC platforms, or the Kinetic Systems 3912 CAMAC controller for BSD and Ultrix platforms. The appropriate CSS driver must be installed in each case. The PC platform controllers may be used in a polled or interrupt-driven mode. In interrupt-driven mode, a CAMAC look-at-me (LAM) will generate a call to a spec interrupt service routine.

To use the DSP 6001/6002 controllers in interrupt-driven mode, the boards must be modified to give the module a software programmable interrupt-enable capability. The modifications involve cutting four traces and soldering four jumper wires on one of the boards in the 6001/2 module. Contact CSS to obtain the explicit instructions. No modifications are required to operate the controller in polled mode.
