- ID:BN Banyan Vines Network setup
- Quarterdeck Technical Note #116
- by Dan Sweeny
-
- Q: Are Quarterdeck products compatible with Banyan Network
- Drivers?
-
- A: Yes. In fact, Banyan has published Application Notes
- certifying QEMM and DESQview with Vines.
-
- Q: Can I load the network drivers "High" (in the memory area
- between 640K and 1024K)?
-
- A: Yes. IF you have EMS 4.0 or EEMS memory using QRAM or an
- 80386 with QEMM-386, you may load Files, Buffers, FCBs, and
- small TSR programs as well as Banyan's drivers into the
- unused areas in high memory, provided you have either one
- 112K or two 64K "High RAM" regions available.
-
- Q: How do I LOADHI Banyan's network drivers?
-
- A: You can LOADHI the drivers by modifying your network
- batch file as this example for Ethernet shows:
-
- BAN /NC
- LOADHI ETHERBAN
- LOADHI EPCBFS
-
- Q: Are there any special considerations with QEMM and
- network cards?
-
- A: Yes. If your network card (such as Token Ring) has a RAM
- buffer, you should exclude it from QEMM so that other memory
- is not mapped over the RAM buffer address. For more
- information on this subject, obtain TOKEN.TEC from
- Quarterdeck's Technical Support Department.
-
- Q: Do I have to do anything special to run DESQview with
- Vines or Grapevines?
-
- A: Some PC compatibles require a parameter when starting
- DESQview. The symptom is that when a 25th line message is
- received the system will hang. If this happens to you, first
- determine what IRQ your network card is set at. The example
- given is for an Ethernet card set on IRQ 3.
-
- DV /HW:0B=U
-
- The /HW stands for hardware IRQ, the :0B represents IRQ
- 3. 0C would stand for IRQ 4, 0D would stand for IRQ 5. The 0 is
- a ZERO, not an O. The =U stands for unmask.
