2.1.2 Command Line Options
The Client Driver accepts up to eight command line arguments from the user to determ ine the
configuration of the IOP-241. If any arguments are provided, the Client Driver will attempt to
configure the IOP-241 with the options specified in the order they are entered on the
command line. Each argument must be enclosed in parenthesis and must be separated from
other arguments by a space on the command line. Within each argument, any or all of the
following parameters may be specified using a comma (no spaces) to separate each parameter:
b address Specifies the base I/O address of the IOP-241 in hexadecimal.
“Address” must reside on an even 8-byte boundary (I/O base address must
end in '0' or '8'). The valid range for the IOP-241’s base address is 100H to 3F8H.
If this option is omitted, a base address is assigned by Card and Socket Services.
i irq Specifies the interrupt level (IRQ) of the IOP-241 in decimal.
“Irq” must be one of the following values: 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15 or 0
if no IRQ is desired. If this option is omitted, an interrupt level will be assigned
by Card and Socket Services.
s socket Specifies which PCMCIA socket the IOP-241 must be inserted into for
this configuration argument to be used. “Socket” must be in the range of 0 - 15.
If this option is omitted, the configuration argument will apply to cards
inserted into any socket.
2.1.2.1 Example 1 DEVICE = C:\IOP241CL.SYS
No command line arguments are specified. The Client Driver will configure an IOP-241
inserted into any socket with a base address and IRQ assigned by Card and Socket Services.
2.1.2.2 Example 2 DEVICE = C:\IOP241CL.SYS (b330)
A single command line argument is provided. The Client Driver will attempt to configure an
IOP-241 inserted into any socket at address 330H and an IRQ assigned by Card and Socket
Services. If address 330H is unavailable, the IOP-241 will not be configured.
2.1.2.3 Example 3 DEVICE = C:\IOP241CL.SYS (s0,b300,i5)
A single command line argument is provided. The Client Driver will attempt to configure an
IOP-241 inserted into socket 0 with a base address of 300H and IRQ 5. If address 300H or IRQ
5 are unavailable, the IOP-241 will not be configured. In addition, if an IOP-241 is inserted
into any other socket, it will not be configured.
