 IBM TOKEN RING

     IBM makes three versions of the Token Ring card:
      þ  Token Ring
      þ  Token Ring 16/4
      þ  Token Ring 1/2 length Adapter A

     All are compatible with Above Boards.  The Above Board MC32 and the
     Token Ring boards can be installed following the normal Above Board
     MC32 instructions.  However, if your Above Board 2, 2 Plus, or Above
     Board MC is configured as expanded memory or you're installing an Above
     Board 2 Plus into a system with a Token Ring 16/4 board, you must take
     steps to eliminate conflicts.

     Once you've installed the Above Board 2, 2 Plus, or MC there are two
     possible ways to configure the Token Ring and Above Board so they don't
     conflict.  To decide which is best for your computer, boot to your IBM
     Reference diskette and select the options to "Set Configuration" and
     "Change Configuration".  If you have a board (other than the Token
     Ring) using addresses that begin with "C", use option 1.  If you have a
     board (other than the Token Ring) using addresses that begin with "D",
     use option 2.

     Note           If you are installing an Above Board 2 Plus with the
                    16/4 or 1/2 Length board, the computer may lock up while
                    booting to the hard drive if you use SOFTSET version 1.2
                    and have not set the Reserved Memory Address correctly
                    in SOFTSET (Above Board Option diskette software part
                    number 301290-004A).  This is normal.  Once you complete
                    either of the following installation options, your
                    computer will boot as usual.

         If you use SOFTSET version 2.0, you will only need to set a
         Reserved Memory address if you are installing an Above Board 2 Plus
         in a system running OS/2.

     Option 1:
     1.  Boot from your IBM Reference diskette.
     2.  Use the "Change configuration" option of the IBM Reference disk
         menu to reposition the "Packet Buffer RAM Address" from the default
         D8000 to C4000 (or C8000 if there's a conflict at C4000).  Leave
         the ROM address at CC000.
     3.  Press F10 to save the configuration.  Exit the Reference disk
         program then boot to a DOS diskette.
     4.  Insert the Intel Option diskette and run SOFTSET.
     5.  Set the Reserved memory address to D000.  Make whatever other
         setting you desire then press F10 to save the configuration.
     6.  Exit SOFTSET and reboot to your hard drive.

     7.  Update the Token Ring Shared RAM driver address:
         þ   If there is a DXMC0MOD.SYS driver in the CONFIG.SYS file, add "
             ,C800 (if that's the address you used in step 3) to the
             DXMC0MOD.SYS command line.  You must add a space in front of
             the comma! In this example the full line would read
             "DEVICE=DXMC0MOD.SYS ,C800"
             If you have the IPX driver in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, add
             "O,PRI,MEM=xxxx" to the IPX line, where xxxx is the address
             you'd like to move the Shared RAM address to. If you used C800
             in step 3, the IPX line would look like "IPX O,PRI,MEM=C800"
         þ   If you configured your Above Board as Expanded Memory, add
             "EXPF=D000" to the EMM.SYS command line (omit the " marks).
             Otherwise, go to the next step.
         þ   Save the new CONFIG.SYS file.
     8.  Reboot the computer and you're done.

     Option 2:
     1.  Boot from your IBM Reference diskette.
     2.  Use the "Change configuration" option of the IBM Reference disk
         menu to reposition the "ROM Address" from the default CC000 to
         DC000.  Leave the RAM address at D8000.
     3.  Press F10 to save the configuration.  Exit the Reference disk
         program then boot to a DOS diskette.
     4.  Insert the Intel Option diskette and run SOFTSET.
     5.  Set the Reserved memory address to C000.  Make whatever other
         setting you desire then press F10 to save the configuration.
     6.  Exit SOFTSET and reboot to your hard drive.
     7.  If you configured your Above Board as expanded memory, edit your
         CONFIG.SYS file and make these modifications:
         þ   Add "EXPL=CC00"  to the EMM.SYS command line (omit the " marks)
