BACKGROUND
If your Stacker coprocessor was installed and working at the time
you installed Stacker 3.1, you can set up Stacker 3.1 to continue
using it by following these instructions.
SOLUTION
Install the updated disks you received in the mail
Determine the base address for your AT/16 or XT/8 coprocessor
Add the coprocessor driver to your CONFIG.SYS file
Restart your computer
Install the updated disks you received in the mail
1. Run setup to install the new Stacker hardware drivers.
Follow the Setup screens, and choose RESTART when
prompted at the "Setup Complete" screen.
Determine the base address for your AT/16 or XT/8 coprocessor
Skip this section if you have the MC/16 coprocessor.
1. From the DOS prompt, type STACKER and press <Enter>.
2. Note the drive letter of the uncompressed drive which
is exchanged with C (your boot drive). The drive letter is
displayed in the far right column.
3. From the DOS prompt, type
STACINI drive: <Enter>
where drive: is the letter of the uncompressed boot drive.
4. Write down the number after the /B=. This is the base
address for your coprocessor. The possible base addresses
are:
AT/16 XT/8
----- ----
200 C400
220 C800
240 CC00
260 D000
280 D400
2A0 D800
2E0 DC00
5. The /B= switch has no effect in the STACKER.INI file. Move
the cursor to this line and press DEL repeatedly to remove
it.
6. Press Ctrl+Z to save the file.
Add the coprocessor driver to your CONFIG.SYS file
1. Edit your CONFIG.SYS file by changing to the root directory
of your boot drive and typing:
ED CONFIG.SYS
2. Type one of these lines immediately before the line that
begins with "DEVICE. . ." and ends with "...STACHIGH.SYS":
DEVICE = C:\STACKER\LZS_XT8.SYS /B=base address
or
DEVICE = C:\STACKER\LZS_AT16.SYS /B=base address
or
DEVICE = C:\STACKER\LZS_MC16.SYS
where base address is the number from the /B= line.
3. Press Ctrl+Z to save the file.
4. Restart your computer to put the change into effect.
