The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0, 3.0a, 3.1, 3.11

SUMMARY

If you are using Windows version 3.0 and a Core Technologies Busmaster CNT-MCK Disk Controller with ROM version 2.08 or 2.11, the file BPPARMS.SYS must be present and referenced in the CONFIG.SYS file. The first line in the CONFIG.SYS file should read as follows:

   DEVICE=x:\BPPARMS.SYS /M /R

If you are using Windows version 3.1, ROM version 2.11 is necessary and the DEVICE=BPPARMS.SYS line is not required.

MORE INFORMATION

With ROM version 2.08, even with the BPPARMS.SYS driver, EMM386 cannot be used. If EMM386 is used, trying to run Windows 3.0 in 386 enhanced mode will lock the system or return you the MS-DOS command prompt. ROM version 2.11 for the controller corrects this problem.

The driver can be downloaded from Core Technologies BBS at (407) 241-2929 or by contacting Core Technologies technical support at (407) 997-6033.
