Installing and Configuring Enhanced OS-9

Enhanced OS-9 for X86 PCAT 13

Keyboard/Mouse

Connect a keyboard and PS/2 or serial mouse to the target system.

Both the keyboard and mouse are optional, although a keyboard should

be used when initially installing OS-9.

Ethernet Support

Development work will be facilitated with the addition of an ISA, PCI or

PCMCIA network card. The network card must be supported by OS-9.

Additional cards are constantly being added, so check

bbs.microware.com for the latest list. Driver support is included for

network cards from the following manufacturers:

•3COM

•SMC

• DEC/Intel

•AMD

• And various NE2000 support

Refer to the Ethernet Controllers section, of this document, for

information on specific network cards.

Commonly available cards, supported by OS-9, include:

• Ready LINK COMPEX RL2000-PCI (use ne2000 Configuration

Wizard setting)

• Etherlink XL PCI 3C900B-TPO

• Asanté Fast 10/100 PCI Adapter for the Mac & PC (use Dec 21140

Configuration Wizard setting)

For some Ethernet cards, the I/O base address and interrupt settings

must be configured on the card to match the settings used by OS-9. A

setup disk, provided with the network card, may be needed to configure

the card to the correct settings. The default settings for an NE2000 card

are I/O Base 0x340 and IRQ 9. Refer to the Ethernet Support section

of this document for configuration settings for other cards.
