Disabling Super I/O on Individual AM-359 Boards
When your computer is processing your system initialization command file, it loads a copy of the
AM359.IDV file when it encounters the first TRMDEF statement for an I/O board. This same copy of
the .IDV file is used for all subsequent I/O boards. This being the case, if you use the /O switch in the
first AM-359 TRMDEF statement, Super I/O is disabled on all I/O boards in your computer. In some
cases, you may want to disable Super I/O on a particular AM-359 board, while leaving Super I/O
enabled on your other I/O boards. The procedure for doing this is as follows:
1. First, make a copy of your AM359.IDV file; make sure the copy uses a name other than
AM359.IDV. For example, while in the DVR: account, type:
COPY AM359S.IDV=AM359.IDV
RETURN
2. Create a copy of your system initialization command file; type:
LOG 1,4
RETURN
COPY TEST.INI=AMOS32.INI
RETURN
3. Use AlphaVUE to modify the TEST.INI file. Locate the AM-359 board or boards for which you
want to disable Super I/O. For all of the TRMDEF statements for the ports on those boards,
substitute AM359S in place of AM359. Do this only for the AM-359 boards for which you want
to disable Super I/O.
4. Now, you must add the /O switch to the very first TRMDEF statement that uses the AM359S
driver. For example:
TRMDEF TERM17,AM359S/O=20:19200,AM65,100,100,100
3. Save the file and leave AlphaVUE. The use the MONTST command to boot with the test
initialization file, as described in Chapter 5.
To disable Super I/O for the AM-319-20 serial ports, use this procedure for AM318.IDV instead
of AM359.IDV.
