8 OS/2 Installation

In order to use the DSP-100 Client Driver for OS/2, the system must be configured as
follows:

1. The system must be running OS/2 version 2.1 or later.

2. OS/2 PCMCIA Card and Socket Services support must be installed. If

PCMCIA support was not selected when OS/2 was installed, it can be added
using the Selective Install facility in the System Setup folder. On OS/2 2.1
and 2.11, Socket Services must be added separately. The necessary files can
be found on Compuserve in the OS2SUPPORT forum and may be available
elsewhere. These files are not available from Quatech.

3. Quatech's OS/2 serial port device driver, "QCOM" version 2.01 or later, must

be installed. The DSP-100 will not operate with the standard OS/2 serial port
device drivers. Quatech can not guarantee the operation of the DSP-100 with
any other third party device drivers for OS/2.

4. There must be at least 16 bytes of available I/O space and 1 available IRQ.

After the system has been configured to the above specifications, the DSP-100 Client
Driver may be installed with the following procedure:

1. Copy the DSP100.SYS client driver file from the distribution disk to any

convenient directory on the hard disk.

2. Open the CONFIG.SYS file using any ASCII text editor.

3. Add the following line to the CONFIG.SYS file:

DEVICE =

drive:\path\DSP100.SYS options

where options are the DSP-100 OS/2

Client Driver command line options discussed in the following sections.

4. Save the CONFIG.SYS file, exit the text editor, shutdown the system, and

reboot to activate the changes.
