The Personal488/CARD must be installed before using the Enabler. The initialization is only valid
as long as the Personal488/CARD is present. You will need to update your
AUTOEXEC.BAT
file
with the following command line:
path\IOT488EN.EXE options
Client Driver
The Client Driver has the following
CONFIG.SYS
file line syntax:
DEVICE=path\IOT488CL.SYS [ (GROUP) [ (GROUP) [ ... ]]]
where the following parts are described as follows:
Part
Client Driver Description
GROUP
[ITEM[,ITEM[,ITEM]]]
ITEM
Sxx | Bxxx | Ixx
Sxx
The socket number,
xx
in
[0...15]
, default to any available socket, if omitted.
Bxxx
The I/O base address (hex),
xxx
in
[100...3F0]
, default to any available I/O
address, if omitted.
Ixx
The IRQ level,
xx
in
[0...15]
, 0 means no interrupt, default to any available IRQ
level, if omitted.
IOT488CL.SYS
The simplest command line, shown above, will configure the card in any PCMCIA socket with
available consecutive 16 bytes in the system I/O space, and an available IRQ level. Note that you
should not assume the resource selections will always be the same.
IOT488CL.SYS (s0,b300,i5)
The command line above will configure the card in socket 0 with I/O base address at
300H
and IRQ
level 5, if those resources are available.
IOT488CL.SYS (b300,i5) (i10) ( )
This command line tells the client driver to configure the card in any socket with a base address of
300H
and IRQ 5. If not available, the client driver will then try to configure it with a base address and
socket number assigned by the Card and Socket Services and IRQ 10. If IRQ 10 is not available, the
Client Driver will then try to configure the card with a base address, socket number, and an IRQ level
assigned by the Card and Socket Services.
Space characters are only allowed in between the groups, not inside a group. The items within a group
are separated by a single comma. The order of items in a group does not make any difference. Nor are
the characters in an item case sensitive.
Enabler
The command line syntax for the Enabler is similar to that used by the Client Driver.
DEVICE=path\IOT488EN.EXE (Sxx,Bxxx,Ixx[,Wxx])
where the following parts are described as follows:
Part
Enabler Description
GROUP
[ITEM[,ITEM[,ITEM]]]
ITEM
Sxx | Bxxx | Ixx
Sxx
The same as the Client Driver syntax, except it must be specified to enable the card.
Bxxx
The same as the Client Driver syntax, except it must be specified to enable the card.
Ixx
The same as the Client Driver syntax, except it must be specified to enable the card.
Wxx
Specifies the PCIC memory window,
xx (hex)
in
[80...EF]
, default to D0 if
omitted.
