Avoiding Memory Manager Conflicts

If you are using a memory manager on your PC (all PCs running Microsoft Windows have a memory manager such as EMM386 or its equivalent), you need to inform the memory manager of the memory used by the 3C619C adapter. The 3C619C adapter in its default configuration requires a shared RAM page size of 16 K.

The following example assumes that you are using EMM386 and the default shared RAM address. Follow these steps to exclude the memory range used by the 3C619C adapter:

1Make a backup copy of the CONFIG.SYS file. Type:

copy CONFIG.SYS CONFIG.OLD

2Edit the CONFIG.SYS file on your PC to exclude the memory range that the 3C619C adapter is using. For example, modify the memory manager device statement by typing:

device=c:\windows\emm386.exe x=D800-DBFF noems

where x stands for exclude, followed by the memory range that the adapter is using.

Refer to the manual that accompanied the memory manager software for additional instructions and information.

3Save the CONFIG.SYS file and exit the text editor.

4Reboot the PC.

This completes the procedure for avoiding conflicts with a memory manager. You are now ready to run the AutoLink program.
