Memory address errors in Windows 95/98/ME with my Digi ISA adapter. Memory address errors in Windows 95/98/ME with my Digi ISA adapter.
Symptom: I get "The specified memory address could not be set" when trying to access a port in Windows 95/98/ME when using a Digi ISA adapter.
Cause:
Another device is already using the specified memory address.
If you have a DEVICE= EMM386.EXE line in your config.sys file, you must add an exclusion to this line for the memory range you are installing the board under.
Shadowing is turned on in the system BIOS for the memory range selected for the card.
Solutions:
Select a free memory address for the Digi card. You may need to use the DIGIMMAP utility, found at the URL below, and/or reserve a block of memory in the system BIOS depending on the type of computer hardware you have.
EXAMPLE:
- For the AccelePort/Xe (8K) installed at D0000h: DEVICE=EMM386.EXE X=D000-D1FF
- For the Xem installed at D0000h: DEVICE=EMM386.EXE X=D000-D7FF
- For the old PC/Xe (64K) installed at D0000h: DEVICE=EMM386.EXE X=D000-DFFF
Turn off shadowing in the system BIOS for the memory range used by the card. Also, if your BIOS allows reserving the required memory block for ISA use, reserve the appropriate memory size and starting address.
