2.2.1.6 Example 6
SSP231EN.EXE (s0,b300,i5,r)
In example 6, the Enabler will release the configuration used by the SSP-200/300 in
socket 0 using a configuration memory window at segment D000. The base address
and IRQ parameters are ignored and may be omitted.
2.2.1.7 Example 7
SSP231EN.EXE (s1,r,wcc)
In example 7, the Enabler will release the configuration used by the SSP-200/300 in
socket 1 using a configuration memory window at segment CC00.
2.2.2 Common Problems
Memory Range Exclusion:
The Enabler requires a region of high DOS memory when configuring aSSP-200/300.
This region is 1000H bytes (4KB) long and by default begins at address D0000H (the
default address may be changed using the "W" option). If a memory manager such as
EMM386, QEMM, or 386Max is installed on the system, this region of DOS memory
must be excluded from the memory manager's control. Consult the documentation
provided with the memory manager software for instructions on how to exclude this
memory region.
Furthermore, some systems use the high memory area for BIOS shadowing to improve
overall system performance. In order for the Enabler to operate, any BIOS shadowing
must be disabled in the address range specified for the configuration window. BIOS
shadowing can usually be disabled through the system's CMOS setup utility.
Socket Numbers:
The Enabler requires the SSP-200/300's socket number to be specified on the command
line and the SSP-200/300 must be inserted into the socket before the Enabler is invoked.
Some vendors number their sockets from 1 to N while other vendors number their
sockets from 0 to N-1. For theSSP-200/300 Enabler, the lowest socket number in the
system is designated socket 0.
Card and Socket Services Software:
In order to use the SSP-200/300 Enabler for DOS, the system MUST NOT be configured
with Card and Socket Services software. If a Card and Socket Services software is
installed, the Enabler may interfere with its operation and with the device(s) it controls.
