Using Configuration Files
Configuration (or CFG) files provide information to the system
about a card’s functions and resource requirements so your
computer can allocate its resources efficiently. They also
provide instructions for setting any switches and jumpers on
ISA cards.
You copy to your Reference 1 diskette a configuration file for
each card you install using the System Configuration program.
EISA cards come with the necessary CFG file to allow the
program to configure the card automatically. See your EISA
card documentation for more information.
ISA option cards may come with the necessary CFG file for this
program. If not, Epson provides many ISA configuration files
on the Reference 3 diskette. You can also write to the
manufacturer of your option card and request a CFG file for it.
Use the file provided by your ISA card manufacturer, if
possible, and do not copy more than one file for a card.
If you do not have a configuration file for your ISA card, you
can still install the card in your system. However, you should
configure the rest of your system and then follow the
instructions that came with the card to set any of its switches or
jumpers.
