MCMaster and the Intel Above Board
Some versions of the Intel Above Board use a boot track initializer; this means that, in order for the PS/2 to "see" the Above Board's memory, the Above Board has to be initialized by a small program.
Later versions of the Intel Above Board use an Installable Device Driver in the CONFIG.SYS file rather than the method described here. Check your Intel documentation. If your Above Board uses the device driver, ignore this chapter and follow the directions under "Operating Mode".
If you're still not sure which Above Board you have, start the procedure described here. If the Above Board doesn't use a track 0 initializer, our SETINIT program will report that it can't find an initializer for the Intel Above Board.
This program resides in a part of the hard disk's boot track (track 0) reserved for this purpose.
This chapter is to help you install the Above Board; since the Above Board doesn't follow the standard procedure described in "Configuration Options" on page 7, we are providing four separate procedures:
1.Install the MCMaster with the Above Board already installed.
2.Install the MCMaster and Above Board together.
3.Install the Above Board with the MCMaster already installed.
4.Rerun SOFTSET (Intel's program for setting up the Above Board) after the MCMaster is installed.
Before you begin, we recommend reading the "Overview" on the next page.
