Creating

an ICAPARM.PRM

File

After

your software is installed, you can create a special parameter

file

(ICAPARM.PRM) to

change the defaults for PCI co-processor

adapter initialization. This is the same file used for the Realtime Interface Co-Processor Multiport and Multiport, Model 2 adapters.

(For a detailed description of thisIBM filRe,altimerefer to the Interface Co-Processor OS/2 Support: User’sor theIBMGuide

Realtime Interface Co-Processor DOS Support: User’s.) Guide

ICAPARM.PRM is a small file you create with a text editor and contains a single line of parameters for each Realtime Interface Co-Processor installed, including each PCI co-processor adapter.

The following two examples—for one adapter installed and for multiple adapters installed—will work satisfactorily in most cases. All values are specified in hexadecimal (h).
