2.1.2 Command Line Options

The SPP-100 Client Driver accepts up to eight command line arguments
from the user to determine the configuration of the SPP-100. If any
arguments are provided, the Client Driver will attempt to configure any
SPP-100s with the options specified in the order they are entered on the
command line. Each argument must be enclosed in parenthesis and must
be separated from other arguments by a space on the command line.
Within each argument, any or all of the following parameters may be
specified using a comma (no spaces) to separate each parameter:

Baddress

specifies the base I/O address of the SPP-100 in hexadecimal.
This address must reside on an even 8-byte boundary. If this
option is omitted, a base address will be assigned by Card and
Socket Services.

Iirq

specifies the interrupt level (IRQ) of the SPP-100 in decimal.
irq

must be one of the following values: 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12,

14, 15, or 0 if no IRQ is desired. If this option is omitted, an
interrupt level will be assigned by Card and Socket Services.

Ssocket

specifies which PCMCIA socket the SPP-100 must be inserted
into for this configuration argument to be used. socket must be
in the range 0 - 15. If this option is omitted, the configuration
argument will apply to SPP-100s inserted into any socket.

Emode

specifies EPP mode operation for the SPP-100 (This overrides
the mode selection bit in the Extended Control Register.). If
this option is omitted, the SPP-100 defaults to standard printer
port mode operation.

Llist

specifies that the client driver update the BIOS equipment list
on card insertion and removal. If this option is omitted, the
BIOS equipment list is not updated.
