- ID:BN Setup for Banyan Vines Network
- Quarterdeck Technical Note
- by Dan Sweeny
-
- Q: ? Are Quarterdeck products compatible with Banyan Network Drivers ?
-
- A:. Yes, in fact Banyan has published Application Notes certifying
- QEMM and DESQview with Vines.
-
- Q: ? Can I load the network drivers "High" (in the memory area between
- 640K and 1024K) ?
-
- A:. Yes. IF you have EMS 4.0 or EEMS memory using QRAM, or an 80386
- with QEMM-386 you may load Files, Buffers, FCBs, and small TSR
- programs as well as Banyan's drivers into the unused areas in
- high memory, provided you have either one 112K or two 64K "High
- RAM" regions available.
-
- Q: ? How do I LOADHI Banyan's network drivers ?
-
- A:. You can LOADHI the drivers by modifying your network batch file
- as this example for Ethernet shows:
-
- BAN /NC
- LOADHI ETHERBAN
- LOADHI EPCBFS
-
- Q: ? Are there any special considerations with QEMM and network cards ?
-
- A:. Yes. If your network card (such as Token Ring) has a ram buffer,
- you should exclude it from QEMM so that other memory is not
- mapped over the RAM buffer address. For more information on this
- subject obtain TOKEN.TEC from Quarterdeck's Technical Support
- Department.
-
- Q: ? Do I have to do anything special to run DESQview with Vines or
- Grapevines ?
-
- A:. Some PC Compatibles require a parameter when starting DESQview.
- The symptom is that when a 25th line message is received the system
- will hang. If this happens to you then first determine what IRQ
- your network card is set at. The example given is for an Ethernet
- card set on IRQ 3.
-
-
- DV /HW:0B=U
-
-
- The /HW stands for hardware IRQ, the :0B represents IRQ 3, 0C
- would stand for IRQ 4, 0D would stand for IRQ 5. The 0 is a ZERO
- not an O. The =U stands for unmask.
