3. Windows 95/98/Millennium (ME)
To allow easy configuration of the DSP-100, a Windows 95/98/ME "INF"
configuration file has been written for the hardware.
3.1 Installing a DSP-100 Under Windows 95/98/ME
1. Insert the DSP-100 into any available PC Card socket.
2. The first time a new PC Card type is installed the
New Hardware Found
window opens. After this first installation Windows
95/98/ME
will
automatically detect and configure the card. If the
New Hardware Found
window does not open, then skip to the next section, “DSP-100 Resource
Settings".
3. The
New Hardware Found
window provides several options to configure
the DSP-100 card. Click the
"Search for the best driver for your device"
option button. Click "NEXT" to continue.
4. An
"Install from Disk"
dialog box should appear. Insert the Quatech COM
CD file, select the correct drive letter and path, and click "OK". Windows
95/98/ME will browse the path for the aforementioned files.
5. During the installation process, it may be required to supply the computer
with the Windows 95/98/ME CD or installation CDs. Insert the CD and
click "OK".
The DSP-100 PC Card should now be configured. With the default configuration,
the DSP-100's interrupt status register will be enable and the 16C750 UART’s
scratchpad register will be disabled. In the future, Windows 95/98/ME will
automatically recognize and configure the DSP-100 in this default configuration.
3.2 DSP-100 Resource Settings in Windows 95/98/ME
Windows
95/98/ME
maintains a registry of all known hardware installed within the
computer. Inside this hardware registry Windows
95/98/ME
keeps track of all the
computer's resources, such as base I/O addresses, IRQ levels, and DMA channels. In
the case of a
PC Card (PCMCIA)
type board, Windows
95/98/ME
configures the new
hardware using free resources it finds within the hardware registry, and updates the
registry automatically.
