2.2.1.6 Example 6SSP231EN.EXE (s0,b300,i5,r)In example 6, the Enabler will release the configuration used by the SSP-200/300 in socket 0using a configuration memory window at segment D000. The base address and IRQ parametersare ignored and may be omitted.2.2.1.7 Example 7SSP231EN.EXE (s1,r,wcc)In example 7, the Enabler will release the configuration used by the SSP-200/300 in socket 1using a configuration memory window at segment CC00.2.2.2 Common ProblemsMemory Range Exclusion:The Enabler requires a region of high DOS memory when configuring aSSP-200/300. Thisregion is 1000H bytes (4KB) long and by default begins at address D0000H (the default addressmay be changed using the "W" option). If a memory manager such as EMM386, QEMM, or386Max is installed on the system, this region of DOS memory must be excluded from thememory manager's control. Consult the documentation provided with the memory managersoftware for instructions on how to exclude this memory region.Furthermore, some systems use the high memory area for BIOS shadowing to improve overallsystem performance. In order for the Enabler to operate, any BIOS shadowing must be disabledin the address range specified for the configuration window. BIOS shadowing can usually bedisabled 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 andthe SSP-200/300 must be inserted into the socket before the Enabler is invoked. Some vendorsnumber their sockets from 1 to N while other vendors number their sockets from 0 to N-1. FortheSSP-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 withCard and Socket Services software. If a Card and Socket Services software is installed, theEnabler may interfere with its operation and with the device(s) it controls. For systemsconfigured with Card and Socket Services, the SSP-200/300 Client Driver is the recommendedmethod of configuration.DOS/Windows 3.x 2-12
