IDE
The VXIpc-850 uses the CMD0640B PCI-IDE controller from CMD
Corporation. The chip supports two IDE ports although the VXIpc-850
only uses one IDE port. In order to take advantage of the advanced
features of the CMD0640B, install the QuickIDE driver as described in
the next section.
Installing the IDE Software
Perform the following steps to install the QuickIDE driver.
1.
If you are running under DOS or Windows 3. x, an image of the
CMD QuickIDE software resides in
c :\images\ide
. (If you
are running Windows 95, the
c:\images\ide
directory will not
exist . Windows 95 includes a driver for the CMD0640B, so
separate installation is not necessary. ) Under DOS or a DOS shell
under Windows, type
c :\images\ide\install
to install the
driver.
2.
Once QuickIDE installation loads, you will be guided through the
installation process with a series of prompts and dialogs . If you
have a mouse, be sure to load your mouse driver first. If you do not
have a mouse, use the arrow keys to move within a field and use
the <TAB > key to move from one field to another. To select a
button or menu, hold down < ALT> while pressing the underlined
letter in the button or menu.
