Readme of Archive [E16LATE.EXE]
If you are running Windows* for Workgroups 3.11 and during setup of the
adapter, you changed the I/O Channel Ready setting to Early, it will
cause both SOFTSET and Windows to hang after their initial startup screens.
When the EtherExpress board is in "early" mode it cannot communicate in a
16-bit slot in most machines. LATE.EXE can reprogram the EEPROM to
IO Channel Ready 'Late' mode so it can communicate in that 16-bit slot.
The LATE utility operates by obtaining the current I/O PORT setting from
the PROTOCOL.INI file and reprograms the EEPROM.
Follow the steps below:
a. Remove 'DEVICE=<path\EXP16.DOS' statement from CONFIG.SYS (place REM
at the beginning of the line to "remark" it out and to not have it
load on boot up).
b. Reboot your PC
c. Edit PROTOCOL.INI to set IOCHRDY=LATE. Also, make sure the IOADDRESS
has the proper address in the PROTOCOL.INI (if you modified it during
troubleshooting, change it back to the original setting).
c. Run LATE.EXE
e. Edit CONFIG.SYS to have EXP16.DOS load again (delete the REM)
f. Do a cold boot on the PC by powering off the system and restarting.
