ii.)
If you are using the Professional 488 Device Driver, that
comes bundled with the PC IEEE card, then ensure that the
each PC IEEE card has its own driver software installed
and that the file name associated with each IEEE port is
different.
The Professional 488 device Driver requires that the
CONFIG.SYS file must have an DEVICE= IEEE.SYS statement
included for each PC IEEE card in use. Each statement must
give the individual card i/o address and file name. E.g. A PC
with three PC IEEE cards controlling three separate IEEE 488
buses of up to 14 devices each might have the following
CONFIG.SYS file.
DEVICE=IEEE.SYS
DEVICE=IEEE.SYS /"IEEE2 ","IEEEDAT2","IEEECTR2",@0310h
DEVICE=IEEE.SYS /"COM1 ","IEEEDAT3","IEEECTR3",@0320h
In this case the first time IEEE.SYS is loaded it creates a
device driver which accesses a PC IEEE card at i/o address
0300h with filename IEEE, the data filename is ’IEEEDATA’
and the control filename is ’IEEECTRL’.
The second time IEEE.SYS is loaded it creates a device driver
which accesses a PC IEEE card at i/o address 0310h with
filename IEEE2, the data filename is ’IEEEDAT2’ and the
control filename is ’IEEECTR2’. The third time IEEE.SYS is
loaded it creates a device driver which accesses a PC IEEE card
at i/o address 0320h with filename COM1, the data filename is
’IEEEDAT3’ and the control filename is ’IEEECTR3’.
