Here are some general guidelines to follow when
installing a PCI card (like the HomeLink card)
into your computer. Under normal installation pro-
ceedures, you won’t need to worry about any of
these proccedures. However, you may find them
useful in troubleshooting situations.
1. The HomeLink card should be used in a 32-bit
PCI slot that supports PCI Bus Mastering. It can-
not be plugged into a PCI Bus Slave slot. Consult
your computer or motherboard documentation for
more information on master and slave slots.
2. If loading the EMM386.EXE program in your
PC's CONFIG.SYS, you MUST use version MS-
DOS 6.22 or above. If you load an older
EMM386.EXE program (below DOS 6.22), your
PC will hang up while loading the network driver.
3. When using NT, set your BIOS PCI settings to
MANUAL. NT is not a Plug-and-Play OS, and
will not usually recognize LAN cards if they are
set to be automatically detected and configured. If
you need to configure your PC's BIOS in order to
resolve an IRQ or other conflict with the
HomeLink card, there are a few possibilities:
No Changes Allowed
Your PCI may not allow you to change the IRQ
value(s) of the PCI slot(s). In this case, you will
ONLY be able to use the IRQ and I/O values that
have been pre-assigned to each slot. The popular
BIOS from Phoenix, for example, does not allow
you to modify BIOS-assigned IRQ settings.
