In order to use the QSP-200/300 Client Driver for OS/2, the system must be configured as follows:

1.The system must be running OS/2 2.1 or later.

2.OS/2 PCMCIA Card and Socket Services support must be installed. If PCMCIA support was not selected when OS/2 was installed, it can be added using the Selective Install facility in the System Setup folder. On OS/2 2.1 and 2.11, Socket Services must be added separately. The necessary files can be found on Compuserve in the OS2SUPPORT forum and may be available elsewhere. These files are not available from Quatech Inc.

3.Quatech's OS/2 serial port device driver, "QCOM" version 2.01 or later, must be installed. The QSP-200/300 will not operate with the standard OS/2 serial port device drivers. Quatech Inc. can not guarantee the operation of the QSP-200/300 with any other third party device drivers for OS/2.

4.There must be at least 32 bytes of available I/O space and 1 available IRQ.

After the system has been configured to the above specifications, the QSP-200/300 Client Driver may be installed with the following procedure:

1.Copy the QSP200.SYS client driver file from the Quatech COM CD to any convenient directory on the hard disk.

2.Open the CONFIG.SYS file using any ASCII text editor.
