  10.        
  11.        If your Stacker coprocessor was installed and working at the time
  12.        you installed Stacker 3.1, you can set up Stacker 3.1 to continue
  13.        using it by following these instructions.
  14.        
  15.        SOLUTION
  16.        
  17.         Install the updated disks you received in the mail
  18.         Determine the base address for your AT/16 or XT/8 coprocessor
  19.         Add the coprocessor driver to your CONFIG.SYS file
  20.         Restart your computer
  21.             
  22.        Install the updated disks you received in the mail
  23.        
  24.         1. Run setup to install the new Stacker hardware drivers.
  25.            Follow the Setup screens, and choose RESTART when
  26.            prompted at the "Setup Complete" screen.
  27.             
  28.        Determine the base address for your AT/16 or XT/8 coprocessor
  29.        
  30.        Skip this section if you have the MC/16 coprocessor.
  31.        
  32.         1. From the DOS prompt, type STACKER and press <Enter>.
  33.         
  34.         2. Note the drive letter of the uncompressed drive which
  35.            is exchanged with C (your boot drive).  The drive letter is
  36.            displayed in the far right column.
  37.         
  38.         3. From the DOS prompt, type
  39.                     
  40.                     STACINI drive: <Enter>
  41.            
  42.            where drive: is the letter of the uncompressed boot drive.
  43.         
  44.         4. Write down the number after the /B=.  This is the base
  45.            address for your coprocessor.  The possible base addresses
  46.            are:
  47.                             AT/16             XT/8
  48.                             -----             ----
  49.                              200              C400
  50.                              220              C800
  51.                              240              CC00

  54.                              2A0              D800
  55.                              2E0              DC00
  56.                                        
  57.         5. The /B= switch has no effect in the STACKER.INI file. Move

  59.            it.
  60.

  72.        
  73.                DEVICE = C:\STACKER\LZS_XT8.SYS /B=base address
  74.                       or
  75.                DEVICE = C:\STACKER\LZS_AT16.SYS /B=base address
  76.                       or
  77.                DEVICE = C:\STACKER\LZS_MC16.SYS
  78.
