Section
1:
Introduction
The Everex
Magic I/O
is
the
most
versatile multifunction
1/0
card you can
buy.
With
a
parallel
printer port,
two
serial ports (one
standard
and one
optional)
and
a
real time
clock,
the
Magic I/O packs more
features
and
connectors
on
a
true
5°
short
card
than
most
full-length multifunction
cards.
Additionally,
all
of the functions of
the Magic I/O
are fully
configurable;
you can easily select
interrupts, LPT
ports, COM ports and
other
values to best customize
the
Magic I/O to
operate
in any
IBM-compatible
system.
This
flexibility
is
your guarantee that the
Magic I/O will work
in
more systems, with more
combinations of hardware
and
software,
than
any
other
I/O card on the
market.
To complement
its
many
features the
Magic
I/O
comes
with
a
menu-driven
diagnostics/set-up
utility program
EVI170
which will guide you
through the configuration of your
board and
will
test the
board
once
it
is
installed.
This manual will provide you with all
of
the
information
that
you need to install and
use
your
Magic I/O.
First
time
users should read "Section
3:
Setting Up the
Magic 1/0" and
"Section
4:
Installation;" these two
chapters
will
help
you
configure
and install
the
board. "Section
2:
Getting
Started"
is
provided
for experienced
users who
want
to
get
the
Magic
1/0
up and
running
quickly; this
section
provides
a
brief
outline of the
installation
procedures.
