2.3.5 Installing a card in Windows NT 4.0
2.3.5.1 PCI Card
Note: the driver will automatically detect and install PCI ADIO cards to a spare DIO port name in
the range DIO0 to DIO255. The ‘Amplicon DIO’ control panel applet may be used to display the
settings for these cards and may be used to configure a card not to use interrupts.
The DIO port names of PCI cards that have been removed are remembered. The DIO port name
will be restored if the PCI card is reinstalled. If a new PCI ADIO card is installed and the driver
cannot find a spare DIO port name to assign it to, the card will not be available for use. In this
case, the control panel applet may be used to delete one of the DIO port entries (e.g. for a PCI
card which is no longer installed). When the AMPDIO driver is next restarted (e.g. by rebooting the
system) the driver will assign the new PCI card to the spare DIO port name.
2.3.5.2 ISA Card
To install an ISA ADIO card in Windows NT 4.0 you will need to
use the control panel applet supplied.
1. Select Add.
2. Configure the required card type, base address and IRQ
settings.
3. Select OK and allow the system to reboot.
2.3.6 Installing a card In Windows 95/98/ME
2.3.6.1 PCI Card
For a PCI ADIO card, Windows 95, 98 or ME will detect the new card on boot up and attempt to
install the drivers. The drivers can be installed from the root directory of the SOFTMAN CD or from
the directory on the hard disk where the AMPDIO software was installed to (e.g.
C:\AMPLICON\AMPDIO).
To install the PCI card automatically on system start-up, do the following:
1. If installing from CD-ROM rather than from the AMPDIO software installation directory, ensure
the Amplicon SOFTMAN CD-ROM is in the CD-ROM drive.
2. If Windows fails to find a suitable INF file automatically, click on the ‘Other Locations’ button,
browse to the root directory of the CD (or the AMPDIO software installation directory on the
hard disk) and click ‘OK’.
3. Windows should correctly identify the card. Click on ‘Finish’.
4. If Windows asks for a disk labelled ‘Amplicon DIO Drivers Disk’ when trying to copy files, click
‘OK’ to cancel the alert box, then browse to the root directory on the CD-ROM (or the AMPDIO
software installation directory on the hard disk) and click on ‘OK’.
5. Windows will copy the files and install the driver.
