Avoiding Memory Manager Conflicts
If you are using a memory manager on your PC (all PCs
running Microsoft Windows have a memory manager such as
EMM386 or its equivalent), you need to inform the memory
manager of the memory used by the 3C619C adapter. The
3C619C adapter in its default configuration requires a shared
RAM page size of 16 K.
The following example assumes that you are using EMM386
and the default shared RAM address. Follow these steps to
exclude the memory range used by the 3C619C adapter:
1 Make a backup copy of the CONFIG.SYS file. Type:
copy CONFIG.SYS CONFIG.OLD
2 Edit the CONFIG.SYS file on your PC to exclude the memory
range that the 3C619C adapter is using. For example,
modify the memory manager device statement by typing:
device=c:\windows\emm386.exe x=D800-DBFF noems
where x stands for exclude, followed by the memory range
that the adapter is using.
Refer to the manual that accompanied the memory manager
software for additional instructions and information.
3 Save the CONFIG.SYS file and exit the text editor.
4 Reboot the PC.
This completes the procedure for avoiding conflicts with a
memory manager. You are now ready to run the AutoLink
program.
