NDIS 3 Driver Parameters for Windows NT 3.51

Connection_Type:

Specify the attached medium type. Default is AutoSense.

I/O_Port:

Specify the starting address of I/O port range. The default
value is D000.

Memory_Base_Address:

The default value is D0000.

Interrupt_Number:

Socket_Number:

Specify the socket number in which an mpc-200 is inserted.
The default value is

.

Interrupt_Style:

Specify the CardBus bridge interrupt routing strategy.
Default is

PCI-IRQ-Routed

.

Interrupt_Routing:

Specify which interrupt pin is used while the CardBus
bridge is using

PCI-IRQ-Routed

. Default is

INT A

.

Store_And_Forward:

Setting this parameter causes the NIC to disable the trans-

.

It is extremely important to assign correct values for the

Interrupt_Number

(IRQ value)

and

Interrupt_Style

parameters. If the system uses the

PCI-IRQ-Routed

interrupt style, it

is also important to assign the correct PCI

Interrupt_Routing

value (i.e. INT A or INT B.)

If in doubt about the values to assign to these parameters, you are advised to execute

the STARTER.EXE enabling program in a native MS-DOS system first. STARTER.EXE
displays the IRQ value used, as well as the system's interrupt style. For the Windows NT
driver, you should assign the same values to the above parameters as those displayed by
STARTER.
