************************************************************************* SETTING UP STACKER HARDWARE DRIVERS FOR USE WITH STACKER 3.1 AND MS-DOS 6 If your Stacker coprocessor was installed and working at the time you installed Stacker 3.1 under MS-DOS 6, you can set up Stacker 3.1 to continue using it by following these instructions. ************************************************************************* To install a Stacker hardware driver you need to: --Copy the appropriate hardware driver to your Stacker directory --Determine the base address for your AT/16 or XT/8 coprocessor --Add a line to your CONFIG.SYS file --Restart your computer 1. First, copy the hardware driver file for your coprocessor to the directory that contains your Stacker files (usually C:\STACKER): At the DOS prompt, type one of these: COPY drive:LZS_AT16.SYS C:\STACKER or COPY drive:LZS_XT8.SYS C:\STACKER or COPY drive:LZS_MC16.SYS C:\STACKER where drive: is the drive that contains the hardware driver file. If your Stacker files are in a different directory, type its name instead of C:\STACKER. 2. (XT/8 and AT/16 only) Determine the base address for the card by viewing your STACKER.INI file. a. Change to your STACKER directory. b. You have to examine a file on your uncompressed boot drive. If drive C is a Stacker drive, type: STACKER The result includes a line like this: Drive C: was drive C: at boot time [D:\STACVOL.DSK = 112 MB] The drive letter following the square bracket (D here) is the uncompressed drive letter. c. Type: STACINI drive where drive is the drive letter for your uncompressed boot drive. d. 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 You must use the same base address to ensure that your coprocessor continues to function. e. The /B switch has no effect in the STACKER.INI file. Move the cursor to this line, then press the Delete key repeatedly to remove it. f. Press Ctrl+Z to save the file. 3. Now, edit your CONFIG.SYS file. a. Change to the root directory of your boot drive and type: EDIT CONFIG.SYS b. Type one of these lines immediately before the line that begins with "DEVICEHIGH. . ." and ends with "STACHIGH.SYS": DEVICEHIGH = C:\STACKER\LZS_XT8.SYS /B=base address or DEVICEHIGH = C:\STACKER\LZS_AT16.SYS /B=base address or DEVICEHIGH = C:\STACKER\LZS_MC16.SYS where base address is the number from the /B line. c. Save the file and exit the editor (Alt+F followed by X, then press Enter to choose Yes). 4. Restart your computer to put the change into effect. ************************************************************************
