Step 2 - Run IBSTART
Run IBSTART from the distribution diskette by switching to the drive
containing the distribution diskette and entering:
ibstart x:
replacing x with the letter of the boot drive. For example, if the
distribution diskette is in drive B and you have booted from drive A,
enter:
b:
to switch to drive B. Next, enter:
ibstart a:
to run IBSTART.
IBSTART first creates a directory called GPIB-PC on the boot diskette,
and copies the GPIB software to that directory. If the insufficient
disk space message appears, abort the IBSTART program by
pressing the control key while you enter:
c
Increase the free space in your boot area and run IBSTART again.
Next, IBSTART creates or modifies the DOS system configuration file
CONFIG.SYS to contain the line:
DEVICE=GPIB.COM
By reading this file at boot time, DOS installs new device drivers and
handlers.
Next, IBSTART switches to the boot drive to run the hardware
diagnostic program, IBDIAG.
