AST RESEARCH TECHNICAL BULLETIN TB-0250 12/23/86

||
INTERRUPT REQUEST (IRQ) LEVEL PRIORITY
|
||
FOR THE AST-5251/11 EMULATION PACKAGE
|
||
|
||
|
||
The factory default of Interrupt Request (IRQ) number two
|
||
(2) for the AST-5251/11 emulator board should normally be
|
||
utilized. If the user wishes to install other data
|
||
communications adapter boards, for example, local area
|
||
networking (LAN) boards in the same machine, AST recommends
|
||
that the AST-5251/11 emulator board be allocated the highest
|
||
priority IRQ. This is normally IRQ #2 for IBM PC's, XT's,
|
||
and/or compatibles. In the case of the IBM PC/AT and/or
|
||
compatibles, it is recommended that this be something other
|
||
than IRQ #2, i.e., 3, 4, or 5.
|
||
|
||
In order to avoid any hardware conflicts between the
|
||
different boards, it is recommended that the LAN board's IRQ
|
||
be set at an IRQ priority level that is lower than the AST-
|
||
5251/11 emulator board. An example would be to install the
|
||
PCnet II, an AST local area networking product, and the AST-
|
||
5251/11 emulator board in the same machine. The 5251/11
|
||
emulator board should be set at the factory default (IRQ #2)
|
||
and the PCnet II LAN board set at a lower priority IRQ of
|
||
either 3, 4, or 5.
