FMBoss Installation Instructions
**************************************************************************

Windows 95 Users:

   1)  Unzip "winradio.zip" into a new directory.

   2)  Create an icon or short-cut to point to
       FMBoss.exe.

   3)  Leave the radio.ini in the same directory
       as fmboss.exe.  FMBoss settings will be
       incorporated into the Registry in a future
       release.  DO NOT alter the radio.ini file
       in any way unless you need to modify your
       card's I/O port address as mentioned below.   

  4)   You can delete the following files as they 
       are only used under Windows NT.

             instdrv.exe
             testio.exe
             giveio.sys

**************************************************************************
Radio Card I/O Port setting 
**************************************************************************

   The FM Radio card has 2 settings for the I/O base
   address: 0x30C (default) or 0x20C.  These values 
   are referenced below as 0x30f and 0x20f.

   FMBoss is setup by default to use the address 30f 
   as the cards I/O port address.  The only other
   setting is 20f.  If your card is set to 20f, open
   the radio.ini file and change the last line to
   20f.  This will be part of the setup in the next
   release.

   If your system hangs when you try and perform a radio card
   function within FMBoss, there is probably a conflict with
   the base address setting.  It appears that quite a few NT
   systems have trouble with the card set at 0x30C.  I had 
   trouble testing FMBoss on an NT3.51 system with Service
   Pack 4.  I soon found that the system was hanging because I
   was using the default base address 0x30C.  It worked fine
   after I changed it to 0x20C.

   ** IMPORTANT:
   In order to use the FM Radio card under NT, the driver
   giveio.sys must be loaded before running FMBoss! 
   See step 2 below on how to install the driver.

   1)  Perform steps 1-3 above.

   Driver Installation:
   --------------------
   1)  Copy the driver "giveio.sys" to the \winnt35\System32\drivers\ 
       directory.  

   2)  Use the following command at the system prompt to install the driver:

       example:  
                instdrv giveio c:\winnt35\system32\drivers\giveio.sys

       Note: The "instdrv" utility is included with FMBoss.  AFter 
             executing the command you should get 3 "SUCCESS" related
             load messages.

       The driver should now be loaded.

   3)  Open the "Devices" applet inside control panel.  Scroll down
       until you find the givio driver in the list.  Change the
       StartUp mode to "Boot" if you want the driver loaded
       when your system boots.  Else you will have to load it each
       time you boot your system. 

   4)  Run the "testio.exe" program to test the driver installation.
       If all goes well, you will hear some tones being played
       through your system speaker.  If you don't hear anything here
       are a few things to check:

       1) Make sure the driver is loaded by performing step 3 above.
          If the driver isn't in the list, try reloading it using
          the instdrv.exe program.

       2) Make sure your PC speaker works.  Verify that your mixer
          settings are correct, ie you don't have the line-in device
          muted if you are redirecting the output of the radio card
          into your sound card. 
 
       3) If all else fails, E-Mail me (jeff@jagunet.com) for assistance.

  5)  Execute FMBoss.  If the driver is loaded, you should here
      your radio card.  If the driver is not loaded, you will get
      a dialog box with an error message.  Recheck your driver installation. 

      If your system hangs, you probably have a conflict with the I/O port
      address of the Radio card.  Try changing it to the other setting and
      remember to update the radio.ini file accordingly with the I/O
      port setting.


**** Driver Removal *****
The giveio.sys driver can be removed by using the instdrv.exe program.
For syntax of the command, type instdrv with no arguments.
