2.1.2.6 Example 6

DEVICE = C:\DSP-100\DSP100CL.SYS (b300,i5) ( ) (i10)

In example 6, the three command line arguments of example 5 have been rearranged.
The Client Driver will first attempt to configure a DSP-100 inserted into any socket with
a base address of 300H and IRQ 5. If address 300H or IRQ 5 is unavailable, the Client
Driver will proceed to the second command line argument and attempt to configure the
card with a base address and IRQ assigned by Card and Socket Services. Since the
second command line argument includes all available address and IRQ resources, the
third command line argument will never be reached by the Client Driver. It is the
user's responsibility to place the command line arguments in a logical order.

2.1.2.7 Example 7

DEVICE = C:\DSP-100\DSP100CL.SYS (s0,b300,i5) (s1,b340,i10)

The type of configuration shown in example 7 may be desirable in systems where more
than one DSP-100 is to be installed. In this example, the Client Driver will attempt to
configure a DSP-100 inserted into socket 0 with a base address of 300H and IRQ 5. If
the DSP-100 is inserted into socket 1, the Client Driver will attempt to configure it with
base address 340H and IRQ 10. This allows the user to force the DSP-100's address and
IRQ settings to be socket specific which may simplify cable connections and software
development. As in the previous examples, however, if the requested address or
interrupt resources are not available, the DSP-100 will not be configured.
