Chapter 9 Network Device Driver Options 175
DCA 10 megabit
Required entry:
• drivername = mac586$
This driver is for the following network adapters:
• DCA 10-megabit twisted pair
• DCA 10-megabit fiber-optic adapter
• DCA 10-megabit 16-bit ISA adapter
The following table summarizes the possible entries and values in the
[mac586] section of the LAN Manager PROTOCOL.INI file:
Entry Units Range Default
drivername — — mac586$
interrupt integer 2, 3, 4, 5, or 7 2
ioaddress hex. 300–350 300
ram hex. 8000–DC00 C800
slot integer 0–7 1
Entries in the [mac586] section of the LAN Manager PROTOCOL.INI
file have the following meanings:
drivername
Identifies the driver name of the network device driver.
interrupt
Indicates the interrupt level of the network adapter. For MS-DOS, the
interrupt level can be set to 2, 3, 4, 5, or 7. For OS/2, the interrupt
level can be set to 3, 4, 5, or 7. The interrupt parameter is ignored
on a Micro Channel Architecture computer.
ioaddress
Indicates the base I/O address for the network adapter. If this entry
does not match the adapter’s I/O address jumper settings, the driver
reports an error.
The driver uses 16 ports starting at the address specified. Ports 300
and 310 are valid for the 10Base Coaxial ISA Adapter. Ports 300,
310, 330 and 350 are valid for the 10Base Twisted Pair ISA Adapter.
The ioaddress parameter is ignored on a Micro Channel Architecture
computer.
