Obtaining the Base Memory Address and the Interrupt Request
Before you can begin to use the diagnostics, you need to record the base
memory addresses and the interrupt request (IRQ) of the card(s) you wish
to test. The PKTx card comes with a MS-DOS based program that was
designed to display the IRQ of each card loaded into your computer, and
the base memory address of each card’s channel. To run the program, follow
the steps below.
1. Access an MS-DOS prompt.
2. Insert the PKTx Utilities diskette into your diskette drive.
3. Access the diskette drive.
4. At the diskette drive prompt, type the following:
pktxd
The program displays the Base Memory Address for each channel, the
IRQ (INTA), and the card ID of each PKTx card within your computer.
The card ID is used to uniquely identify each card by your application
software
5. Record the information presented.
!
ATTENTION: The computer must be started with the
Base Memory Address jumper (JP2) on the PKTx card
in the 1MEG position. The diagnostics will not find the
card if it is set in the 32BIT position.
