5251 VERSION 2.1 INTERRUPT REQUEST SELECTION
|
||
|
||
|
||
AST 5251 is configured to use IRQ 2. If another system device is
|
||
utilizing this interrupt, a different interrupt request line may
|
||
be selected.
|
||
|
||
Here is a list of valid choices and their standard uses.
|
||
|
||
IRQ 2 = Reserved
|
||
IRQ 3 = Asynchronous Communications (secondary)
|
||
SDLC Communications
|
||
BSC (secondary)
|
||
IRQ 4 = Asynchronous Communications (primary)
|
||
BSC (primary)
|
||
IRQ 5 = Fixed Disk (if you have the PC-XT)
|
||
IRQ 6 = Diskette
|
||
IRQ 7 = Printer
|
||
|
||
To select a different interrupt, the CC432 card and the software
|
||
must be reconfigured.
|
||
|
||
Locate the switch bank on the CC432 board. Switches 3 through 8
|
||
select the interrupt.
|
||
|
||
SW 3 = IRQ 7
|
||
SW 4 = IRQ 6
|
||
SW 5 = IRQ 5
|
||
SW 6 = IRQ 4
|
||
SW 7 = IRQ 3
|
||
|
||
An ON condition selects the interrupt, and only one IRQ position
|
||
may be ON at any time.
|
||
|
||
To patch AST5251.EXE, it is first necessary to rename it in order
|
||
for DEBUG.COM to edit it. Type in the commands in boldface on a
|
||
disk that has DOS, DEBUG and AST5251.EXE on it.

Where XX and ZZ are equal to the value of the interrupt you have
|
||
selected. Use the following table for correct value:
|
||
|
||
XX ZZ
|
||
0A. 04 = IRQ 2
|
||
0B. 08 = IRQ 3
|
||
0C. 10 = IRQ 4
|
||
0D. 20 = IRQ 5
|
||
0E. 40 = IRQ 6
|
||
0F. 80 = IRQ 7
