PCISACfg
PCI-ISA Expansion Kit Configuration Program
Readme for version 1.01
(c) Copyright 2001


This program performs the software portion of ISA-on-PCI bus expansion.


BASIC USE
----------------------------------------
PCISACfg should run early at every boot, preferrably in Config.sys or
Autoexec.bat.  Simply insert the following line at the top of your Config.sys:

      INSTALL=C:\PCI-ISA\PCISACfg.exe

Or, add a line at or near the beginning of Autoexec.bat
that looks like this:

      C:\PCI-ISA\PCISACfg

(If PCISACfg.exe isn't in C:\PCI-ISA\, substitute its actual
location.)


ADVANCED USE: /M[ANUAL]
----------------------------------------
By default, addresses for sound cards, DMA controllers, and other common
motherboard or legacy resources are left to the host computer. There is also
another list of addresses left to the host, configurable in 32-byte blocks
with the /M (or /MANUAL) option.



ADVANCED USE: /Q[UIET] and /S[ILENT]
----------------------------------------
PCISACfg normally shows a header and confirmation that look something
like this:

      PCISACfg - PCI-ISA Expansion Kit Configuration Program 1.01
      PCI-ISA expansion card configured.

If there was an error configuring the card, it will show an error
message, like this:

      PCISACfg - PCI-ISA Expansion Kit Configuration Program 1.01
      Error: PCI-ISA expansion card not found.

This is usually unobtrusive; however, PCISACfg has two modes that
suppress these messages. The /Q (or /QUIET) option will display only errors,
while the /S (or /SILENT) option will display nothing(unless information is
requested as below).


ADVANCED USE: /O[LD], /N[EW], and /L[OC]
----------------------------------------
PCISACfg can print additional data for diagnostic purposes. The /O (or
/OLD) option prints the bus expansion card's addresses as they were before it
ran, the /N (or /NEW) option will print the card's addresses as they are
afterward, and the /L (or /LOC) option will print the card's bus, device, and
function numbers.



ADVANCED USE: TSR
----------------------------------------
TSR is a program that allows the use of IRQs 2-7 on the expansion chassis
under DOS, Windows 3.x, or in "DOS boxes" under Windows 9x. It also should run
early at every boot, but after PCISACfg. Simply place a line immediately after
the PCISACfg call (described under BASIC USE) that looks like this:

      C:\PCI-ISA\TSR

(If TSR.exe isn't in C:\PCI-ISA\, substitute its actual location.)

Please note that you cannot share IRQs on the expansion chassis, nor between
the expansion chassis and the host computer.
