Unlisted cards are non-Plug and Play ISA expansion
cards that do not have configuration files stored in the
ICU database.
NOTE: If you want to add a configuration file that you
received on diskette with a new expansion card, see

To add an unlisted card with the ICU, perform the follow-
ing steps:

Start the ICU as described in "Starting the ICU"
found earlier in this chapter.
2.
From the ICU window, click Add or select Add
Card from the Configure menu.
3.
Click the name of the category of card that you
want to add. If you clicked Add in step 2, click
OK.
A dialog box appears listing the names of all avail-
able cards of that type.
4.
Select Unlisted Card from the bottom of the list of
cards displayed in the dialog box that appears.
Then click OK.
5.
Click No when the ICU asks if you have a config-
uration file for the card.
The Configure Unlisted Card dialog box appears
with blank fields.

Enter the name of the card that you want to add
in the Card Name field.

If none of the values for the DMA or IRQ resources
match the allowable values for your unlisted card (as
indicated in the card's documentation), select one of
the available values offered by the utility and click
OK.
If you are providing values for the input/output (I/O)
port or memory resources, you must enter the start-
ing and ending addresses in hexadecimal format
using the two fields provided by the Specify
Memory or Specify I/O Port dialog box. Click each
box in succession to enter the beginning and ending
addresses, and then click OK to complete the selec-
tion. Figure 3-9 shows the two fields.
