Once you have completed running the program that exhibits problems under Super I/O, you can reboot
your computer using the standard system initialization command file, which will reactivate Super I/O.
Disabling Super I/O on Individual Boards
When your computer is processing your system initialization command file, it loads a copy of the
A31810.IDV (or AM318.IDV) file when it encounters the first TRMDEF statement using it. This same
copy of the .IDV file is used for all subsequent I/O boards. This being the case, if you use the
/O
switch
in the first A31810 TRMDEF statement, Super I/O is disabled on all I/O boards using that interface
driver. In some cases, you may want to disable Super I/O on a particular AM-318-10 board, while
leaving Super I/O enabled on your other I/O boards. The procedure for doing this is as follows:
1. First, make a copy of your A31810.IDV file; make sure the copy uses a name other than
A31810.IDV. For example, while in the DVR: account, type:
COPY A3181S.IDV=A31810.IDV
ENTER
2. Create a copy of your system initialization command file:
LOG 1,4
ENTER
COPY TEST.INI=AMOS32.INI
ENTER
3. Use AlphaVUE to modify the TEST.INI file. Locate the AM-318-10 board or boards for which
you want to disable Super I/O. For all of the TRMDEF statements for the ports on those boards,
substitute
A3181S
in place of A31810. Do this only for the AM-318-10 boards for which you
want to disable Super I/O.
4. Now, you must add the
/O
switch to the very first TRMDEF statement that uses the AM359S
driver. For example:
TRMDEF TERM1,A3181S/O=20:19200,AM65,100,100,100
3. Save the file and leave AlphaVUE. The use the MONTST command to boot with the test
initialization file, as described in Chapter 5.
To disable Super I/O for ports on an AM-318-00 or -02 board, use this procedure for
AM318.IDV instead of AM31810.IDV.
