Replacing the SLC/Now!
4. Remove the SLC/Now!, replace with the 80286 and 80287 (if previously installed) and turn the
power on. If system boots, the SLC/Now! may be defective. Contact your dealer.

System Boots from Floppy Disk, does not boot from Hard Disk

Check the connections to the hard disk and controller card. Connection may have been dislodged.

System does not read floppy drive

Check the connections to the floppy disk controller card. Connection may have been dislodged.

System seems to run slow

Check to see if the cache control program (SLCCARD.SYS or SLCOS220.SYS) has been added to your
CONFIG.SYS file. If so, run the Landmark 2.0 speed test from the Kingston diskette.

Using DOS's EMM386.EXE

The SLCCARD.SYS driver must load before EMM386.EXE in your CONFIG.SYS file. If you are using
MemMaker, please verify the order of device drivers when finished. If SLCCARD is not the first device
loaded, move it to the top line in CONFIG.SYS.

Using DOS 6.0's MemMaker

This utility will change the order of devices in CONFIG.SYS. The SLCCARD.SYS file must remain the first
driver loaded. Comment out the SLCCARD driver (add REM to beginning of line) and reboot by turning
power off and then on. Run MemMaker as usual. When MemMaker has finished, edit your CONFIG.SYS,
uncomment the SLCCARD device line (remove REM statement) and move it to the top of the file.
You can also program MemMaker to do this procedure for you by adding the driver to MemMaker's
information (INF) file. This approach will prevent any future conflicts when running the MemMaker utility.
Follow the steps below:
1. Edit the MEMMAKER.INF file located in your DOS directory.
C:\> cd\dos [Enter]
C:\DOS> edit memmaker.inf [Enter]
2. Scroll down to the bottom of the file and insert the following line:
^slccard
3. Save your changes and exit the file.
Adding the program name with a carat (^) in front will tell MemMaker to load the driver in memory before
HIMEM and EMM386. It will not be loaded into upper memory. You can now run MemMaker to calculate
the optimum memory configuration for your system without interfering with the SLCCARD.SYS driver. For
more information, read the beginning of the MEMMAKER.INF file.
