Creating an ICAPARM.PRM file – Adding an entry to the ICAPARM.PRM file for the PCI co-processor adapter – Base I/O address considerations Changing your CONFIG.
Adding an ICAPARM.PRM File Entry for the PCI Co-Processor Adapter The only time you need to add an entry to the ICAPARM.PRM file for the PCI co-processor adapter is if you want to change the following standard hex default values. All other fields are ignored for the PCI co-processor adapter. MAXTASK (Maximum Task Number) = 10h MAXPRI (Maximum Task Priority) = 10h MAXQUEUE (Maximum Task Queue Number) = 50h MAXTIME (Maximum Task Timer Number) = 32h.
Example 1 — for One Co-Processor Adapter The following example shows an ICAPARM.PRM file that can be used if you have one co-processor adapter installed in your system unit: Field Number Field Number # ðððð ðð ðð 1ð 1ð 1ð 1ð ðF Eð1ð $ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1ð 11 Description 1 Beginning-Record Delimiter. If a # is not present, the line will be treated as a comment. 2 Logical card number of the PCI co-processor adapter. Range 00–FFh. 3 Shared Memory Address, Meg value.
9 and 10 System Unit Address to call an adapter reset. Use the values shown: 0Fh, E010h. (Not supported on the PCI co-processor adapter.) 11 End-Record Delimiter. Value ';' or '$'. If this is the last adapter in the ICAPARM file, set to '$'; otherwise, set to ';'. Example 2 — for Multiple Co-Processor Adapters The following example shows an ICAPARM.
Changing Your CONFIG.SYS File If OS/2 and Communications Manager/2 (CM/2) are being used, one line of the CONFIG.SYS file must be modified (using a text editor) to specify the location of the ICAPARM.PRM file. Change CONFIG.SYS as follows, but substitute your specific drive paths: Change: To: DEVICE=C:\CMLIB\ICARICIO.SYS DEVICE=C:\CMLIB\ICARICIO.SYS C:\CMLIB\ICAPARM.PRM Note: Make this change after CM/2 is configured. Later, if CM/2 is configured again, do not have it replace the CONFIG.SYS file.
