8.0 About PnP ISA Enable Driver
--------------------------------
1. Outline
PnP ISA Enable Driver is being provided by Microsoft for WindowsNT4.0 and
OPL3-SA driver corresponds to PnP ISA Enable Driver
2. Installation of PnP ISA Enable Driver
In WindowsNT4.0 CD-ROM, there are two files which are named PNPISA.SYS and
PNPISA.INF in DRVLIB\PNPISA\i386 directory. Right clicking on PNPISA.INF
and choosing *install* will install PnP ISA Enabler.
After restart, PnP ISA Enabler functions will be available.
This install process is also explained in DRVLIB\AUDIO\SBPNP\README.TXT.
3. Handling and functions of PnP ISA Enable Driver
PnP ISA Enabler detects PnP device which connected to ISA bus at boot
and displays a dialog.
(Example)
There are four selections in the dialog as below.
a. Windows NT default driver
b. Driver from disk provider by hardware manufacture
c. Do not install a driver(Windows NT will not prompt you again)
d. Select from a list of alternate drivers
Select one of these four and choose OK. Note: If Cancel is selected, no driver
will be installed and the device will be detected again during reboot.
a.Windows NT default driver
This selection is available when a device which corresponds to PnP ISA
Enabler was installed. Choosing this selection uses pre-installed driver,
and no additional drivers are required.
b. Driver from disk provider by hardware manufacture
This selection is provided to install a new driver for PnP ISA Enabler and will
require an installation disk.
c. Do not install a driver(Windows NT will not prompt you again)
Choose this selection when no drivers are required. If this option
is selected, the device will not be detected next time. To enable the
device to be detected, do the following steps:
1. enable PNPISA.SYS
2. shut down (power down)
3. remove sound board
4. start Windows NT
5. shut down (power down)
6. set sound board
7. start Windows NT
Not: The following option is used when the driver does not correspond tp PnP ISA
Enabler, or a Legacy form driver has already been installed.
d. Select from a list of alternate drivers
This selection is used to install a driver using information of a driver which
corresponds to PnP ISA Enabler on the system. If this option is selected,
a dialog box appears to select a hardware type:
There are two options in the dialog.
* Show compatible devices
This option is displayed by default and lists drivers which correspond to the detected device.
* Show all devices
Choose this option when appropriate drivers are not detected and dispalyed in the above
option.
4. Installation options for OPL3-SA series driver.
In WindowsNT4.0, there are two installation methods: Control Panel and PnP ISA function.
In WindowsNT3.51, Control Panel is the only option.
5. Installing OPL3-SA series driver using PnP ISA function
a. Install PnP ISA Enabler.
b. Set OPL3-SA series board which corresponds to PnP and restart.
A New Hardware Found dialog box will appear prompting the user to select
a driver installation option for the OPL3-SAx Sound Board.
c. Choose *Driver from disk provider by hardware manufacture* from above
dialog and click OK.
d. Point to the directory which contains the driver and click OK.
e. A *Select Device* dialog box will appear. Select the desired language and click OK.
f. Following above steps, GamePort of OPL3-SA series or Reserved Device
will be detected. In either case, choose
*Do not install a driver (Windows NT will not prompt you again)*
and click OK.
g. Internal IDE CD-ROM will be detected after all of OPL3-SA series
devices are detected.
Choose *Do not install a driver(Windows NT will not prompt you again)*
and click OK.
6. Handling of JoyStick driver
The Analog Joystick Driver which is located on WindowsNT4.0 CD-ROM can be
installed separately.
7. Re-setting
Dialog which corresponds to PnP ISA function will appear at Hardware
Resource re-setting. However, the driver will be disabled after resource
setting was changed manually.
In this case, restart the system and click OK without changing resource
setting at setting dialog, then driver will be enabled.
8. Notice
When *Do not install a driver* was chosen for any of OPL3-SAx Sound Board,
GamePort, CD-ROM and Internal IDE CD-ROM, the device will not be detected
next time. To enable redetection:
1. enable PNPISA.SYS
2. shut down(power down)
3. remove sound board
4. start Windows NT
5. shut down(power down)
6. set sound board
7. start Windows NT
