- DO NOT READ THIS OR WORRY ABOUT IT IF YOU DO * NOT * RUN A
- NON STANDARD PORT ADDRESS OR A NON-STANDARD IRQ!
- -----------------------------------------------------------
-
- This game will allow those with Multi-nodes and ports that
- utilize Non-Standard addresses and non-standard IRQ values.
-
- It is very simple to alter the normal Port 3 or Port 4 to
- utilize any address or interrupt that you wish.
-
- To Alter port 3
- ---------------
- The normal port 3 address is &H3E8 in Hex with an IRQ of 4.
- To change this to another value you need only to create a two
- line ASCII text file using Copy Con, Edlin, or other word
- processor.
- The two line file you create MUST be called PORT3.TXT.
- The first line of Port3.txt contains either the port # (3 or
- 4) OR the Hex value of the address you wish to use (in the
- format of &H???). You may enter any address your hardware
- supports in this HEX format.
- The second line is the interrupt that you wish to use for the
- address. Proper IRQ's range from 1 to 7.
-
- An example of Port3.txt would be as follows:
- &H3E8 <- Hex value of the address
- 4 <- IRQ to use
-
- Thats all there is to it!
-
- To alter Port #4
- ----------------
- If it is the fourth port that you need a non-standard
- address and interrupt on you need only to create a file
- called PORT4.TXT. Port4.txt will contain the same info as
- described above in Port3.txt. It is just a two line file with
- the new address in Hex on the first line and the new IRQ on
- the second line.
-
- I hope this helps! Don't confuse your node number with your
- port number. If your using port 4 on node 3 and wanted to
- alter that line then you would create a port4.txt with the
- new parameters.
