Using Your PC-DIO-96

(Non-PnP) Board

Appendix

This appendix describes the differences between the PC-DIO-96PnP

and PC-DIO-96 boards, the PC-DIO-96 board configuration, and the

installation of the PC-DIO-96 into your computer. Read this appendix

only if you do not have the Plug and Play version of the board.

Differences between the PC-DIO-96PnP

and the PC-DIO-96

The PC-DIO-96PnP is a Plug and Play upgrade from a legacy board, the

PC-DIO-96. Legacy refers to the original board with switches and

jumpers used to set the addresses. The original legacy board was

replaced with a backwards-compatible, revised PC-DIO-96 that has the

same functionality as the Plug and Play version (except for the base

address and interrupt selection), but differs somewhat from the original

board. The following list compares the specifications and functionality

of the newer boards with the obsolete legacy board.
