Using Alternate Configuration Files; Creating An Alternate Sci File - Epson EISA EISA Desktop Manual Manual

Using Alternate Configuration Files

When you save your configuration in your computer's CMOS,
the computer also creates or updates the System Configuration
file called SYSTEM.SCI. You can also create an alternate SCI file
with a different name for your own computer or for another
Epson EISA computer.
You may want to create an alternate configuration for your
own computer that includes a different set of option cards.
Then, whenever you need to use that configuration, you can
load the alternate SCI file and save it in your computer's CMOS.
If you run System Configuration on a non-target computer
(an IBM AT compatible computer or another Epson EISA
computer), you can create an file for the target computer. Then
you can transport the alternate SCI file to the target computer,
load it, and save it in that computer's CMOS.
To create an alternate SCI file, follow the guidelines in the next
section. To load an alternate SCI file when you need to use one,
