application program checks the BIOS equipment list to determine the address of a COM port. If this option is omitted, the BIOS equipment list is not updated.
1.1.1.1Example 1
DEVICE = C:\QSP-100\QSP100CL.SYS
In example 1, no command line arguments are specified. The Client Driver will configure a QSP-100 inserted into any socket with a base address and IRQ assigned by Card and Socket Services. The QSP-100's interrupt status register will be enabled and the BIOS equipment list will not be updated.
1.1.1.2Example 2
DEVICE = C:\QSP-100\QSP100CL.SYS (b300)
In example 2, a single command line argument is provided. The Client Driver will attempt to configure a QSP-100 inserted into any socket with a base address of 300H and an IRQ assigned by Card and Socket Services. If address 300H is unavailable, the QSP-100 will not be config- ured. If the Client Driver can successfully configure the QSP-100, its interrupt status register will be enabled and the BIOS equipment list will not be updated.
