B&B Electronics -- PO Box 1040 -- Ottawa, IL 61350
PH (815) 433-5100 -- FAX (815) 433-5105
Hardware Installation
1. Shut the host computer power off.
2. Remove the computer cover.
3. Remove the expansion slot cover of an unused slot.
4. Handle the PCRTC only by its edges. Avoid touching any
conductors on the PCRTC. Install the PCRTC into the slot. Be
certain that the card is inserted completely into the slot.
5. Secure the card with the mounting screw from the slot cover.
The PCRTC is shipped with the oscillator halted to extend
battery life. To start the PCRTC, the card must be initialized. This
can be done using the command line option PCRTC /I found in
Chapter 3 of this manual or by the device driver. If you are using the
device driver, it will automatically initialize the PCRTC when it loads.
Upon initialization, a warning will appear stating that the oscillator
was halted and date and time information may be corrupt.
Software Setup
Place the 3.5” floppy disk in your “A” drive. Run the
installation program by typing “INSTALL” <Enter>. The files installed
to your hard drive include the PCRTC device driver, the shareware
program Timeset and three example files written in C, Pascal, and
QuickBASIC. These files demonstrate how to make function calls to
the PCRTC from within a program and are listed in Chapter 3. The
device driver will also be automatically installed in your
CONFIG.SYS file and set for address 200. If you require a different
address, remember to edit the CONFIG.SYS file to set the address
to match PCRTC hardware.
