INSTRUCTION ON ADDRESS CHANGING FOR PCI PARALLEL CARDS

Question:
	I have installed my Lava Parallel PCI in my machine with Windows 95/98/Me
and everything appears to be fine in Device Manager. However, when I configure my
printer to the Lava Parallel PCI it responds with an error trying to connect to
the printer! What am I doing wrong?

Answer:
	On some systems the Operating System is installing our card on an
address range that it in fact is not really set to. We are endeavouring to
isolate the cause of this situation. The solution to this problem is:

1) Go to Start - Settings - Control Panel - System - and enter the
Device Manager tab. Remove the Lava Parallel PCI from Ports COM & LPT
by highlighting it and clicking Remove.

2) Install our DOS driver in the following method.

  a) Go to MS-DOS prompt by going to Start Programs MS-DOS Prompt.

  b) Copy the Lava Dos driver (setaddr.sys) to your Root directory (C:\)
     using the following command:

     copy a:\DOS\setaddr.sys c:\setaddr.sys

  c) Enter the MS-DOS editor to edit your config.sys using the following command:

     edit c:\config.sys

  d) Add the following line to the last line of your config.sys file.

     DEVICE=C:\setaddr.sys

  e) Save the changes by hitting ALT once and then cursor down to exit
     and when it prompts to save enter yes.

  f) Type exit to exit MS-DOS prompt.

3) Shut down. Enter Command Prompt by clicking F8 before you enter Win95/98/Me.
Write down the address and IRQ assigned to our card.

If this reports an address that ends with 0 then the ending address will end in 7.
If this reports an address that ends with 8 then the ending address will end in F.

  i.e. setaddr reports: 10F0 

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

  i.e. setaddr reports: 10F8 

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


4) Reboot Windows and let the Lava Parallel PCI reinstall itself as before.

5) After you reenter Windows enter Device Manager and go to the Resources
for our card and ensure that the Address and IRQ match what you have
written in step 3. If not then uncheck Use Automatic Settings. Configure
the Address and or IRQ to match.

NOTE: Some systems do not allow changing the IRQ in Device Manager. On
those systems simply changing the I/O address to the correct I/O address
and rebooting will place the card on the correct IRQ.
