DrvConf 2.52

Using the EEPROM on PCI cards can be disabled if problems occure.


DrvConf 2.51

Cards from the L series are supported now


DrvConf  2.50

New functionality in DRVCONF.EXE
DRVCONF.EXE supports now options in command line. The command line has following syntax:
DrvConf  [options] [config files]

[config files] are files in ASCII form, which syntax will be described later in this document. We recommend to generate them automatically with the option /c+

Options are of the form:
/<options letter>[+/-]
The + sign turns the option on, the - sign off. Following options are recognised:
/r reboot, /r+ do reboot, /r- no reboot, default /r+
/i install, /i+ do install on this system, /i- simulate installation ( useful with /c+ ), default /i+
/c save configuration into a file, /c+ save it ( the user will be prompted for the filename), /c- don't save, default /c-
/c <file name>, save configuration into file given by the <file name>
/a automatic flag, /a+ automatic run without user interaction, /a- interactive installation. Default: /a-

Using the option /c+ the user can store the configuration into a file. The form of the file is similar to a ini-files. It consist of sections led in by [<title>]. The root section is
[CARDS] enumerating all cards to be configured. All entries in this section are of the form
<Card type>.<instance>
....
<Card type>.<instance>

the <Card type> is one of
PCI010
PCI020
PCI200
PCI210
PCI400
PCI800
TC200
TC200PRO
TC200IPRO
TC400PRO
TC400PROV2
TC420PRO
TC800PRO

The instance number is a counter for all cards in the system being of the same type. It starts by 0.
Example:
 [CARDS]
PCI200.0
PCI200.1
PCI400.0

For each card enumerated in this section there have to be a Section with the title
[<Card type>.<instance>]
Exaple:
 [PCI200.1]. 
This section contains entries of the form:
<Keyword>=<Value>
The keyword depends on card type being configured.
For PCIxxx cards are following keywords valid:

UART=one of  550,650 or 750
SPEEDMODE= one of 14745600, 1843200.
PORT=<Port name>

Turbo series cards, TCxxxxx:
PORT=<Port name>

For each PORT keyword there have to exist a section with the title
[<Portname>]

In this section are following entries possible:
TYPE=LPT or COM, currently ignored.
NAME=LPTxx or NAME=COMxx
BASE= IO address of the port
IRQ= IRQ line to be used by this port
SPEED=1,2,4,8
OVERSPEED=1,2,4,8
UART=550,650,750

The # sign starts a comment in the file.
We strongly recommend to generate this file using DRVCONF /r- /i- /c+ <MyFile>
