3 E 8 H ~ 3 E F H f o r p o r t 1 , 2 E 8 H ~ 2 E F H f o r p o r t 2 , I R Q = 1 0
If your computer has been loaded with ExCA compliant PCMCIA software, then you
are allowed to hot insert/remove the Serial PC Card, which means you can
connect/remove the Serial PC Card all the time without rebooting your system. If
your system doesn’t have the software, however, each time you remove the card and
need to use it again, you have to type
A R I C O M . E X E / C x / I y o r
A R I C O M 2 . E X E / P x / I y
at DOS prompt to enable the Serial PC Card.
Note:
1.
For IRQ sharing feature is not supported in DOS and Windows 3.1, you can not
use 2 ports at the same time unless your “Interrupt Service Routing” is able to
identify which port is driving the IRQ line; Otherwise, your system will hang on
by the IRQ conflicts.
2.
For IRQ sharing feature is supported in Windows 95, the above problem won’t
occur under Windows 95 environment.
