On-Line Help

Note that eisa_config has self-explanatory on-line help. Type ? or help

at an EISA prompt and read the entries to acquaint yourself with the

program.

Displaying CFG Files

Type the cfgfiles command to display the CFG ﬁles currently in the

/sbin/lib/eisa directory. The cfgtypes command lists and explains

each board type. For example, NET is a network board.

EISA: cfgfiles

Filename Board Type Board Name

!XYZ2276 VID XYZ Video Board

Adding a Board

Make sure the CFG ﬁle is present in the /sbin/lib/eisa directory. If it is

absent, check the documentation supplied with the card. (CFG ﬁles are

required for EISA cards, but advisory only for ISA cards.)

Type a show slot command to see in which slots the !XYZ1802 board

can be installed. Then type the add command to add the board to slot 2.

eisa_config displays the new conﬁguration.

EISA: show slot !XYZ1802

Valid slots for this board: 2 4
