INSTRUCTIONS ON INSTALLING THE LAVA CARD IN NON-WINDOWS SYSTEMS
==> A METHOD TO GET ADDRESS PARAMETERS TO USE IN SCO UNIX
(LINUX has lspci for this purpose)

Question
I am trying to install the Lava PCI card in an OS other than
DOS, Win3.11, Win95/98/Me, NT4.0, or Windows 2000. I have commands
or a utility that can configure my port. However, I have no way
of knowing how the PCI bus on my system has configured the
card. What can I do?

Answer
Lava provides a utility that reports the I/O address and IRQ
assigned by the PCI bus on your system. This utility MUST
be run from DOS level.

This utility can be run from a DOS boot disk to report the
I/O address range and IRQ that the PCI bus on your system
has confiigured our card to.

Use this utility if you wish to configure a parallel port in
an OS other than DOS, Win3.11, Win95/98/Me, NT4.0, or
Windows 2000. For example SCO UNIX, Linux... i.e. using the
makedev parallel command. Consult the Man Pages or documentation
for the OS for the appropriate commands.

Create a DOS boot disk in DOS compatible system (not NT4.0)
with the following command:

  format a: /s

Copy Lavaconf.exe to that diskette. (Can be downloaded from
the Utilities portion of our web site for your PCI card 
www.lavalink.com or can be found in the Win3.11 directory on
the Lava Installation and Utilities floppy).

Restart the machine that you wish to install the Lava
Parallel PCI in and boot from that boot disk you created.

Run the Lavaconf.exe program.

If this software reports an address that ends with 0,
then the ending address will end in 7.

If this software reports an address that ends with 8,
then the ending address will end in F.

  i.e. 
  Lavaconf reports:

  10F0 

then in the OS put 10F0-10F7 for the Input/Output Range.

  i.e. 
  Lavaconf reports:

  10F8 

then in the OS put 10F8-10FF for the Input/Output Range.
