(legrang@active.co.za or legrang@cs.sun.ac.za) in 1994, and elaborations from

WHY THIS DOCUMENT?
------------------
+
I have a RadioTrack card from back when I ran an MS-Windows platform. After
converting to Linux, I found Gideon le Grange's command-line software for
running the card, and found that it was good! Frans Brinkman made a
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
--------------------
+
The RadioTrack card is an ISA 8-bit FM radio card. The radio frequency (RF)
input is simply an antenna lead, and the output is a power audio signal
available through a miniature phone plug. Its RF frequencies of operation are
CONTROLLING THE CARD WITH IOPORT
--------------------------------
+
The RadioTrack (base) ioport is configurable for 0x30c or 0x20c. Only one
ioport seems to be involved. The ioport decoding circuitry must be pretty
simple, as individual ioport bits are directly matched to specific functions
The bits of the ioport are arranged as follows:
- MSb LSb
-+------+------+------+--------+--------+-------+---------+--------+
-| VolA | VolB | ???? | Stereo | Radio | TuneA | TuneB | Tune |
-| (+) | (-) | | Detect | Audio | (bit) | (latch) | Update |
-| | | | Enable | Enable | | | Enable |
-+------+------+------+--------+--------+-------+---------+--------+
+.. code-block:: none

PROGRAMMING EXAMPLES
--------------------
-Default: BASE <-- 0xc8 (current volume, no stereo detect,
- radio enable, tuner adjust disable)
-
-Card Off: BASE <-- 0x00 (audio mute, no stereo detect,
- radio disable, tuner adjust disable)
-
-Card On: BASE <-- 0x00 (see "Card Off", clears any unfinished business)
- BASE <-- 0xc8 (see "Default")
-
-Volume Down: BASE <-- 0x48 (volume down, no stereo detect,
- radio enable, tuner adjust disable)
- * wait 10 msec *
- BASE <-- 0xc8 (see "Default")
-
-Volume Up: BASE <-- 0x88 (volume up, no stereo detect,
- radio enable, tuner adjust disable)
- * wait 10 msec *
- BASE <-- 0xc8 (see "Default")
-
-Check Stereo: BASE <-- 0xd8 (current volume, stereo detect,
- radio enable, tuner adjust disable)
- * wait 100 msec *
- x <-- BASE (read ioport)
- BASE <-- 0xc8 (see "Default")
-
- x=0xff ==> "not stereo", x=0xfd ==> "stereo detected"
-
-Set Frequency: code = (freq*40) + 10486188

- disable, "zero" bit phase 1, tuner adjust)
- BASE <-- 0x03 (audio mute, no stereo detect, radio
