Example 6 
 
 
DEVICE = C:\ DSP-100\DSP100CL.SYS (b300,i5) ( ) (i10) 
 
In example 6, the three command line arguments of example 5 have 
been re-arranged.  The Client Driver first attempts to configure a 
232PCC2 inserted into any socket with a base address of 300H and 
IRQ 5.  If address 300H or IRQ 5 is unavailable, the Client Driver will 
proceed to the second command line argument and attempt to 
configure the card with a base address and IRQ assigned by Card 
and Socket Services.  Since the second command line argument 
includes all available address and IRQ resources, the third 
command line argument will never be reached by the Client Driver.  
It is the user's responsibility to place the command line arguments in 
a logical order. 
 
 
Example 7 
 
 
DEVICE = C:\ DSP-100\DSP100CL.SYS (s0,b300,i5) 
(s1,b340,i10) 
 
The type of configuration shown in example 7 may be desirable in 
systems where more than one 232PCC2 is to be installed.  In this 
example, the Client Driver will attempt to configure a 232PCC2 
inserted into socket 0 with a base address of 300H and IRQ 5.  If the 
232PCC2 is inserted into socket 1, the Client Driver will attempt to 
configure it with base address 340H and IRQ 10.  This allows the 
user to force the 232PCC2's address and IRQ settings to be socket 
specific that may simplify cable connections and software 
development.  As in the previous examples, however, if the 
requested address or interrupt resources are not available, the 
232PCC2 will not be configured.
