Resolving I/O Conflicts
Note: This section does not apply to CP500 cards.
The following are several steps to take in order to resolve an
I/O Conflict:
• Respecify I/O address(es) for the offending board(s) by
setting I/O switches (see the section Respecifying I/O
Addresses below). Remember to change the software
setting in GSINST as well.
• If you are performing a multi-card installation, try the
Master board by itself. In a multi-card system, if the
Master board is not detected, none of the Slave boards will
be detected either.
• Try the card(s) in another PC.
• If, after respecifying I/O addresses, your PC still does not
boot, remove all other cards except the video and drive
controller cards. Create a boot disk and try booting from a
floppy.
• If none of these steps resolves the I/O conflict, contact
Gage technical support for assistance.
Respecifying I/O Addresses
Note: If you are changing any I/O addresses, make sure you
do not specify an address you are using for another board.
Follow these steps to reset switches and re-configure your
board(s):
• Power off your PC and remove any previously installed
CompuScope board(s).
• Set the board I/O switch(es) using the diagrams in the
128 Driver Installation Guide for CompuScope Cards
