Hardware Installation Guide for the Classic DigiBoard.

1. Put the card into an empty ISA slot (Notice there aren't any dip switches)
2. Boot to the Classic Config disk (shipped along with the board).
3. Run the cfg.exe program to configure the board.
4. Once the cfg.exe program is loaded, you will notice that it will have found the board, and will display its current settings.
5. We want to "Edit new profile", so press "F3"
6. First prompt will be "PnP mode?" You want to select "No"
7. Second prompt will be "Int mode:" You will want to select "Digi"
8. At this point, you will want to decide if you want to run the card as "COM1" or "COM2", and then follow the instructions below:

FOR COM1 SETUP

1. For "I/O Address:" select "0150"
2. For "IRQ:" select "4"
3. For "No. Waits:" leave it at default.
4. For "CFG Utility I/O:" leave it at default.
5. Finally, You will want to set up each port's io address.

                Port 1: 0110
                Port 2: 0118
                Port 3: 0120
                Port 4: 0128
                Port 5: 0130
                Port 6: 0138
                Port 7: 0140
                Port 8: 0148
	

6. Leave the Port's IRQ blank.

FOR COM2 SETUP

7. For "I/O Address:" select "0250"
8. For "IRQ:" select "3"
9. For "No. Waits:" leave it at default.
10. For "CFG Utility I/O:" leave it at default.
11. Finally, You will want to set up each port's io address.

                Port 1: 0210
                Port 2: 0218
                Port 3: 0220
                Port 4: 0228
                Port 5: 0230
                Port 6: 0238
                Port 7: 0240
                Port 8: 0248
	

12. Leave each Port's IRQ option blank.

To Save Settings

13. Press "F3" to finish editing.
14. Press "F6" to save profile to disk.
15. pick the first option "< create a new profile file>"
16. A prompt will ask you what you will like to name this profile, pick anything you like, for instance "cls_sco".
17. A prompt will ask you to enter profile description, pick anything you like, for example "Classic COM2 setup for SCO Unix"
18. Finally, press "F5" to write profile to your board.
19. Pay special attention to the I/O test that it does, if you have any ports return an "F" instead of all "P", this suggests that you have an i/o address or IRQ conflict with the current settings you have picked from above. To resolve the conflict, you might try using COM2 instead of COM1, or vice versa. If neither of the COM1/COM2 options pass, you will need to look at your other devices in the system, and change them accordingly.
20. Follow the SCO instructions below for getting your extra ports up and running under SCO.

SCO Driver Installation for the Classic DigiBoard

21. Log on to the console, and type at the prompt

mkdev serial

22. The first screen you will see is:

       The following cards are currently configured:
       (any previous installed serial board will be listed)

       i) install a new serial board.
       r) remove an existing board.
       q) quit

       Please enter your choice (i/r/q) >

(usually you are picking i, however if an entry exists for desired COM port remove it prior to adding Digi board)

23. Serial Board Installation

      You would like to install a:

       1. 1  port 
       2. 2  port
       3. 4  port - if using Classic 4
       4. 5  port
       5. 8  port - if using Classic 8
       6. 16 port - NOT SUPPORTED 

       Select an option or enter 'q' to quit: select 3 or 5

       The card is configured as:
       1. COM1
       2. COM2
       3. COM3 (not supported)
       4. COM4 (not supported)

       Select an option or enter 'q' to quit: select 1 or 2

24. Which card do you have (the following are supported) ? (Pick DigiBoard selection with appropriate number of ports and applicable IRQ). Use default I/O setting.

You must create a new kernel to effect the driver change you specified. Do you wish to create a new kernel now? (y/n) (answer yes to all kernel releated questions, then reboot system)

25. The system will create devices in the /dev directory for the DigiBoard Classic, they will be created after system reboot.

Board setup	Standard devices	Modem control devices
COM 1	/dev/tty1a-tty1h	/dev/tty1A-tty1H
COM 2	/dev/tty2a-tty2h	/dev/tty2A-tty2H

Standard devices are usually terminals and printers. These ports must have a null modem cable or null modem adapter between the DigiBoard and the peripheral to work. The basic cabling for x/on x/off flow control is TxD and RxD crossed and signal ground straight through. Check your DigiBoard hardware manual for proper cabling, if unsure.

Modem control devices are usually modems. These ports must have carrier detect high before the port will open. The cabling usually has signal going straight from DigiBoard to modem. Check your DigiBoard manual for proper cabling, if you have any questions.

26. How to enable standard port to get a login. enable /dev/portname
    example: enable /dev/tty1a
