ROM Disk Configuration

User programs are stored in the MVI-

ADMNET module’s ROM disk. This disk is

actually a portion of Flash ROM that appears as Drive A:.

The ROM disk size is:

Module Type

Disk Size

MVI46

896K bytes

MVI56

896K bytes

MVI69

896K bytes

MVI71

896K bytes

MVI94

384K bytes

This section describes the contents of the ROM disk.

Along with the user application, the ROM disk image must also contain, at a
minimum, a CONFIG.SYS file and the backplane device driver file.

Module Type

File Name

MVI46

MVI46BP.EXE

MVI56

MVI56BP.EXE & MVI56DD.EXE

MVI69

MVI69BP.EXE

MVI71

MVI71BP.EXE

MVI94

MVI94BP.EXE

If a command interpreter is needed, it should also be included.

3.2.1 CONFIG.SYS File

The following lines should always be present in your CONFIG.SYS file:

MVI46

IRQPRIORITY=1
INSTALL=A:\MVI46bp.exe -iomix=0 -class=4 -m0size=3000 -m1size=10000

Note: The MVI46 driver file is called MVI46BP.EXE, and may be loaded from the CONFIG.SYS or

AUTOEXEC.BAT files. The driver must be loaded before executing an application which uses the
MVI API.

The SLC platform supports several classes of modules. The MVI46 can be
configured as a Class 1 or Class 4 module. Also, the I/O image sizes are
configurable. If the MVI46 is configured as Class 4, M0 and M1 files are
supported and their sizes are configurable.
