DISABLING SUPER I/O
For most of your super I/O compatible serial ports, you will want to always have Super
I/O enabled. However, if you have some application program that does not run properly
on a Super I/O enabled serial port, it is possible to disable Super I/O. You can disable
Super I/O on one or more AM-318 or AM-359 boards, but you can’t disable Super I/O on
an individual serial port.
Disabling Super I/O on All I/O Boards
If the application causing problems is one you run infrequently, you can temporarily
disable Super I/O on all your AM-318 or AM-359 ports by using the following procedure:
1.Create a copy of your system initialization command file; type:
LOG 1,4
RETURN
COPY TEST.INI=AMOS32.INI
RETURN
2.Use AlphaVUE to modify your TEST.INI file. Locate the first AM318 or
AM-359 TRMDEF statement. Disable Super I/O by adding /O (that’s an
"O", not a zero) to the first AM-318 or AM-359 TRMDEF statement. For
example, change:
TRMDEF TERM2,AM318=0:19200,AM65,100,100,100
to
TRMDEF TERM2,AM318/O=0:19200,AM65,100,100,100
3.Finish out of the AlphaVUE file by pressing
ESC
to reach Command Mode.
Then press
G
and press the
RETURN
key.
4.The MONTST command will force your computer to boot from the
TEST.INI file. The /O switch will disable Super I/O on all AM-318 I/O
boards.
5.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.
