If after entering the SERPIC command, the program responds by displaying a PIC, this
indicates the encoding has already been completed. Nothing else needs to be done,
assuming, of course, the PIC displayed matches the code given to you by Alpha Micro.
This PIC is a unique identifier for your system that must be purchased and obtained
from Alpha Micro. Enter the PIC, carefully verifying you have entered it correctly and
press
RETURN
.
After a brief pause, you will be returned to AMOS command level and you can proceed
with the remainder of the installation. If you see the error message ?Improper SSD
after you have rebooted the computer, it probably means you have entered the PIC
incorrectly.
As mentioned above, you cannot SSD encode the same overlay twice; to re-encode the
Super I/O software, do this command first:
COPY SER000.OVR=SER000.SAV
RETURN
You will now be able to re-encode Super I/O. If after once again rebooting the computer
you still receive the same error, check with your dealer to make sure the correct PIC
was supplied for your computer.
After the PIC procedure is completed and the computer has been rebooted, all serial
ports using the AM318.IDV driver will be able to take advantage of Super I/O.
C.1DISABLING SUPER I/O
For most of your AM-318 serial ports, you will want to always have Super I/O enabled.
However, if you have some application program that does not run properly on a Super
I/O enabled serial port, it is possible to disable Super I/O. You can disable Super I/O on
one or more AM-318 boards, but you can’t disable Super I/O on an individual serial port.
C.1.1Disabling Super I/O on All AM-318 Boards
If the application causing problems is one you run infrequently, you can temporarily
disable Super I/O on all your AM-318 ports by using the following procedure:
1.Create a copy of your system initialization command file; type:
LOG 1,4
RETURN
COPY TEST.INI=AMOS32.INI
RETURN
