        Above Board: Installing with an IBM Token Ring Adapter

 IBM TOKEN RING (& 16/4)

     Compatible with Above Boards and EMM. If the Above Board will be
     providing extended memory, there will be nothing to reconfigure with
     the Token Ring Card. If the Above Board is providing expanded memory,
     the Token Ring and the Above Board must be set up so they don't
     conflict with each other in reserved memory.

     To set up EMM and a Token Ring card:

     1.  Use the D000 parameter in the DEVICE=EMM.SYS line for AT's, E000
         for PCs.

     2.  Set switches 1-6 on block #1 of the Token Ring Board to use CC000
         (which is the default) as the ROM starting address. (pgs 2-3 of
         Token Ring manual)

     3.  In AT systems it will be necessary to change the shared RAM address
         using the TOKREUI command or DXMC0MOD.SYS (or DXMC1MOD.SYS) driver
         (drivers for IBM LAN Support Program, ver 1.0.). In PC systems this
         step isn't necessary.

         With newer lan software use the device driver:  Device=DXMC0MOD.SYS
         ,C800.  With the original Token Ring software, add the command
         TOKREUI ,C800 to the autoexec.bat file.

         If there is a long number following the DXMC1MOD.SYS driver, don't
         add the space before the comma.  See the next scoop cell "...long #
         after DXMC1MOD.SYS" for more details.

     If they have Banyon LAN software, use PCCONFIG program to change the
     Shared RAM address instead of Autoexec.bat.

        Pages 4-7 in the Token Ring manual describe how to reset the "shared
     RAM" address.  There is also a very useful Memory Map listing on page
     B-2 in this manual.

 TOKEN RING & "LONG # AFTER DXMC1MOD.SYS"

     If you see a long number following DXMC1MOD.SYS when editing the line
     to add " ,C800" for Token Ring/EMM conflicts, don't add the space. The
     DXMC1MOD.SYS driver will return the error mentioned above if there is a
     space inbetween the long number and ",C800" or whatever address is
     used.

     The 12 digit number following the DXMC1MOD.SYS driver is called the
     "Locally Administered Address" (a hexidecimal address which overrides
     the preprogrammed address of the board).

     The "L.A.A." simplifies the process of adding workstations to the
     network since all workstation addresses are preprogrammed into the
     host.  A workstation can then use just one preprogrammed address to be
     recognized by the host.

     The DMXC1MOD.SYS seems to be used when the computer will interface with
     a "3270" type system.  ("DXMC0" seems to be for PC only operation)

 TOKEN RING & IPX

     In Novell networks, it is possible to change the Shared RAM address of
     the Token Ring board (which defaults at D800H) by modifying the IPX
     line in the Autoexec.bat file.

     The parameters are:

     IPX O,PRI,MEM=xxxx

     Where xxxx is the address you'd like to move the Shared RAM address to.

     For instance, to move the Shared RAM address to C800H:

     IPX O,PRI,MEM=C800
         ^this is the letter "o" as in Option, NOT the number 0 (zero).

 TOKEN RING, EMM, AND 8088/8086 SYSTEMS

     Since the E0000h range is not reserved for system use in 8088 and 8086
     systems, try the EXPF=E000 parameter on the EMM.SYS line of the
     CONFIG.SYS file. If the E0000h range is not being used by any other
     add-in boards, it would be possible to move our driver out of the way
     of the Token Ring drivers without having to rearrange the Token Ring
     drivers to make everything fit.
