1.2 Work Flow Summary
This section gives a broad overview of how the VCD emulator works. Before starting
the VCD emulator, read Chapter 1 of its manual, and connect the cables.
The following VCD I/F Board settings must be completed before the VCD emulator
can be run.
• Jumper numbers that select the interrupt numbers (J3)
• Jumper numbers that select the channel numbers for DMA transfers (J4)
• Jumper numbers that select the VCD I/F Board I/O addresses (J5)

Figure 2 Work Flow Summary
Figure 2 shows the work flow in summary form. The following chapters explain
these stages in detail, with examples.
Configuration Settings
This operation sets the VCD I/F Board settings into the configuration parameter
VCDIO. The VCD emulation program and the VCD I/F Board settings must be
compatible. The required settings are the numbers of three jumpers on the VCD I/F
Board. When these values conflict, the VCD emulator cannot interface correctly with
the VCD I/F Board. These settings are determined when the board is installed in a
PC, so if the values are inserted as configuration parameters in
AUTOEXEC.BAT, the
parameters will be set automatically whenever the PC is turned on.
