Multiport Serial I/O Adapter Hardware Reference Guide 5
EISA Setup
All Equinox configuration files are located on the SuperSerial CDROM.
All directories below assume that D: is the CDROM drive.
Novell, DOS, OS/2, D:\Drivers\RAS\Disk1
Windows based D:\Drivers\RAS\Disk3
UNIX based D:\Drivers\UNIX\DIAG_DOS
Copy all .cfg files from CDROM directory to your system manufacturers
EISA configuration diskette. Then run EISA configuration to correctly
identify the Equinox adapters.
ISA Installation Tips
SST ISA adapters require a 16K window (below 1 megabyte) in the host
system memory. Occasionally the driver may not be able to automatically
find an available memory window (i.e. memory hole) due to system
caching, memory shadowing, or devices that stay hidden in memory until
loading.
If the driver fails to locate the adapter after installation you may need to
manually configure its memory address. Check for available memory holes
by using the SSDIAG.EXE /M software located on your SuperSerial
CDROM. (Refer to SSDIAG.DOC about the command line switch "/M").
Then configure the driver to use one of the available memory holes be-
tween 0xA0000 and 0xEFFFF. (Refer to the software driver documentation
located on the CDROM for information on how to manually configure this
memory range.)
If SSDIAG /M reports that there are no available memory holes you may
need to modify your system BIOS to disable memory shadowing or caching
(in the 0xA0000 to 0xEFFFF range). Also, some system BIOS will allow
you to open a memory hole for ISA memory mapped devices.
PCI Installation Tips
A PCI adapter may have trouble locating available memory addresses on
some systems that have shared PCI slots. If this happens move the PCI
adapter to a non-shared slot or change the slot type in the system BIOS to a
master PCI slot.
