Adding and Removing ISA Cards

1. Click on Add ISA Card in the RCA window.
2. Specify the directory for the .CFG file.
3. Select the file and click on Ok.
To remove an ISA card:
1. Select a valid ISA card in the Devices section of the RCA window.
2. Click on Remove ISA Card.
Modifying Resources
Modifying the resources of a device may be necessary to accommodate certain operating systems,
applications, and drivers. It may also be necessary to modify resources to resolve a conflict.

2. Press the spacebar or <Enter>, or double click on the entry.
This displays the functions of the selected device along with possible choices and the resources
associated with those choices.

resource lists).

4. Use the arrow keys to select a proper choice, and press <Enter> again.
5. If the choice allows multiple possible values for a particular resource, use the hot key to
select a resource, and press the spacebar or double click on the resource.
6. Select the desired resource, and click on Ok.
System Resource Usage
Clicking on the Resource Use button in the Configuration window displays the System Resource
Usage window. This window shows what resources each device is consuming. This information is
useful for choosing resources if a conflict occurs. Devices can be organized according to the
resources you want to examine using the options in the Resource section of the screen. The
resource information can also be written to a plain text file through this window.
Multiboot Options Add-in
