NOTE: These instructions only apply if you are running Stacker 3.1 for MS-DOS 6. SOLUTION Determine the base address for your AT/16 or XT/8 coprocessor Add the coprocessor driver to your CONFIG.SYS file Restart your computer Determine the base address for your AT/16 or XT/8 coprocessor Skip this section if you have the MC/16 coprocessor. 1. From the DOS prompt, type STACKER and press . 2. Note the drive letter of the uncompressed drive which is exchanged with C (your boot drive). The drive letter is displayed in the far right column. 3. From the DOS prompt, type STACINI drive: where drive: is the letter of the uncompressed boot drive. 4. Write down the number after the /B=. This is the base address for your coprocessor. The possible base addresses are: AT/16 XT/8 ----- ---- 200 C400 220 C800 240 CC00 260 D000 280 D400 2A0 D800 2E0 DC00 5. The /B= switch has no effect in the STACKER.INI file.

Edit your CONFIG.SYS file by changing to the root directory of your boot drive and typing: ED CONFIG.SYS 2. Type one of these lines immediately before the line that begins with "DEVICE. . ." and ends with "...STACHIGH.SYS": DEVICE = C:\STACKER\LZS_XT8.SYS /B=base address or DEVICE = C:\STACKER\LZS_AT16.SYS /B=base address or DEVICE = C:\STACKER\LZS_MC16.SYS where base address is the number from the /B= line. 3.
