PCI Velocity RS232422/485
Configuring And Installing NEWCOM.SYS
To load the Serial Solutions for DOS device driver an entry needs
to be added to the CONFIG.SYS file. Any simple text editor,
EDIT for example, can edit the CONFIG.SYS file for example.
The installation procedure given below is for a PCI
RS232/422/485 as COM5 & COM6.
The parameter required by the NEWCOM.SYS driver are those
returned by the BBCARDS.EXE application earlier. A brief
explanation for the parameters required by NEWCOM.SYS
follows:
Port Address.
/A5-6,0140
COM port 5 is defined with an i/o address of 0140h.
IRQ, Range.
/I 11,5-6
11 is the IRQ and since the COM port is COM5 is entered 5.
Number Buffer.
/B6
Six buffers are defined, though only four ports are in use - this is
because buffers in DOS are assigned in a sequential order from
COM1. Since the PCI Velocity RS232/422/485 have been
assigned a COM port values of 5 and 6, all preceding COM ports,
must have buffers assigned to them also.
Buffer Size.
/S512
Buffer size set to 512 bytes.
