Setup for PCI Cards under Windows 3.1/3.11

1) Please note that Windows 3.1/3.11 does not support more than 4 Com Ports. Windows 3.1/3.11 users are therefore strongly recommended to set the PCI Card jumper to the Com 3 position. After this is done, insert the PCI Card into a PCI slot in your system (make sure power is off).

2) Power on your PC. If the system automatically enters Windows, exit to DOS.

3) Copy the file "IOconf.exe" from the Win3.11 directory of the PCI Card floppy diskette to your hard drive.

4) Run IOconf.exe

5) IOconf.exe will display the two I/O addresses and one IRQ that are used by the PCI Card. Make a note of them.

6) If IOconf.exe reports "IRQ=0", you will need to manually make an IRQ available to the PCI bus through CMOS (BIOS) settings. To do this reboot the system, and press DELETE to enter CMOS. Each CMOS setting is different, but most have a PCI configuration screen that will list IRQ assignments. Assign an unused IRQ to the PCI bus.

7) Enter Windows (WIN)

8) Install the Windows 3.1/3.11 driver. To do this click File, Run, and then access Setup.exe in the Win3.11 subdirectory on the PCI Card diskette. The driver will install and ask you to reboot your system. After reboot, the Configuration Utility will appear.

9) Using the Configuration Utility, configure your Com Ports for the proper UART type, I/O address, IRQ, etc. You may use the Configuration Utility to configure your existing Com Ports as well as the PCI Card. If you have 2 Com Ports previously installed on your mainboard, the PCI Card ports will be configured as Com 3/4, but you will have to manually type in the I/O address and IRQ (as reported by IOconf.exe) into the appropriate screens.

10) In the Windows subdirectory, find the file called "System.ini" and open it using Write or Notepad. In this file there will be 2 lines that read:

	ComXSHAREIRQ=0 

where X are the port numbers (usually 3 & 4) that you have assigned in Step 9 using the Configuration Utility. Both of these lines must be changed to 

	ComXSHAREIRQ=1

11) Save settings, exit Windows, and reboot.

12) Enter Windows and check that all settings have been saved in the Configuration Utility. If you have problems entering the Configuration Utility, you may have to open Control Panel and then Ports to verify your settings. If so, do not make changes in Control Panel, simply enter and exit, then open the Configuration Utility again.
