Driver Installation for DOS Users
Make a duplicate copy of the driver diskette in case the original disk
becomes lost or damaged. Copy the files to a subdirectory on your
hard disk if you wish.
The PCL-849 comes with the PC-ComLIB software package. PC-
ComLIB provides software drivers for DOS which supports most
common languages, including C, PASCAL, Visual BASIC, Quick
BASIC, Assembly and Clipper. PC-ComLIB also includes the
DataScope data viewer, terminal emulator and self-diagnostics
utilities for easy troubleshooting and debugging. Please see the PC-
ComLIB manual for detailed information.
Card setup
The PCL-849's driver determines the configuration of the installed
cards by reading a data file,
GEN-DRV.CNF.
When you first install
the PCL-849, and each time you change the card's address and IRQ,
you will need to run the card setup program to save the settings to the
configuration file.
Program files should be installed to the hard disk. Insert the driver
disk in your computer, type DOSINST from the A: (or B:) prompt and
press enter. Once the files have been installed, type SETUP from the
\COMLIB\BIN prompt and press ENTER. You will then see the
screen on the following page.
