Disabling Super I/O on Individual AM-318 or AM-359 Boards
When your computer is processing your system initialization command file, it loads a
copy of the AM318.IDV or AM-359.IDV file when it encounters the first TRMDEF
statement for an I/O board. 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 AM-318 or AM-359
TRMDEF statement, Super I/O is disabled on all I/O boards in your computer. In some
cases, you may want disable Super I/O on a particular AM-318 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 AM318.IDV or AM-359.IDV file; make sure the
copy uses a name other than AM318.IDV. For example, while in the DVR:
account, type:
COPY AM318S.IDV=AM318.IDV
RETURN
2.Create a copy of your system initialization command file; type:
LOG 1,4
RETURN
COPY TEST.INI=AMOS32.INI
RETURN
3.Use AlphaVUE to modify the TEST.INI file. Locate the AM-318 or AM-359
board or boards) for which you want to disable Super I/O. For all eight of
the TRMDEF statements substitute AM318S in place of AM318. Do this
only for the AM-318 boards for which you want to disable Super I/O. The
same technique can be used for AM-359 boards
4.Now, you must add the /O switch to the very first TRMDEF statement that
uses the AM318S or AM359S driver. For example:
TRMDEF TERM17,AM318S/O=20:19200,AM65,100,100,100
5.Finish out of the AlphaVUE file by pressing
ESC
to reach Command
Mode. Then type
G
and press the
RETURN
key. The MONTST command
will force your computer to boot from the TEST.INI file. The /O switch will
disable Super I/O only for the AM-318 or AM-359 boards using the
AM318S or AM359S driver. All I/O boards using the standard driver will
remain Super I/O enabled.
