2.1.2.7 Example 7DEVICE = C:\DSP-200\DSP230CL.SYS (s0,b300,i5) (s1,b340,i10)The type of configuration shown in example 7 may be desirable in systems where more than oneDSP-200/300 is to be installed. In this example, the Client Driver will attempt to configure aDSP-200/300 inserted into socket 0 with a base address of 300H and IRQ 5. If the DSP-200/300is inserted into socket 1, the Client Driver will attempt to configure it with base address 340Hand IRQ 10. This allows the user to force the DSP-200/300's address and IRQ settings to besocket specific which may simplify cable connections and software development. As in theprevious examples, however, if the requested address or interrupt resources are not available, theDSP-200/300 will not be configured.2.1.3 Common ProblemsGeneric Client Drivers:Many Card and Socket Services packages include a generic client driver (or SuperClient) whichconfigures standard I/O devices. If one of these generic client drivers is installed, it mayconfigure the DSP-200/300 causing the DSP-200/300 client driver to fail installation. In thesecases, the user should do one of the following:1. Modify the operation of the generic client driver to disable the configuration ofmodem/serial port cards. Consult the Card and Socket Services documentation foravailability and details of this feature.2. Place the DSP-200/300 client driver before the generic client driver in theCONFIG.SYS.Available Resources:One function of the Card and Socket Services software is to track which system resources(memory addresses, I/O addresses, IRQs, etc.) are available for assignment to inserted PCMCIAcards. Sometimes, however, the Card Services software assumes or incorrectly determines that aparticular resource is used when it is actually available. Most Card and Socket Services generatea resource table in a file (typically in the form of an .INI file) which the user can modify to adjustthe available system resources. Consult the Card and Socket Services documentation foravailability and details of this feature.Multiple Configuration Attempts:Some Card and Socket Services have a setting which aborts the configuration process after asingle configuration failure (such as a request for an unavailable resource). The user shouldchange this setting to allow for multiple configuration attempts. Consult the Card and SocketServices documentation for availability and details of this feature.2-7 DSP-200/300 (Rev.
