This article discusses switch settings for the Gateway G/NET Network Adapter.

MORE INFORMATION

The following are switch-configurable parameters for the Gateway G/NET adapter and the conflicts that may occur:

  • The Interrupt Line address may conflict with devices such as the Microsoft Bus Mouse, hard drive controllers, serial and parallelports.
  • The Base I/O address may conflict with expanded memory boards.
  • The Memory Map Address may conflict with the memory addresses used by expanded memory board drivers, 3270 cards, ESDI hard drive controllers, and display adapters.
