  31. adpater card just for the scanner.  To get ours to work I had to set the                                                                              
  32. shared RAM address on the scanner adapter card to CC00-CFFF and the I/O                                                                               
  33. to 0268-026F.  In the WINOS2 settings for the program object that use
