                          STACKER COPROCESSOR DRIVERS
                 (Applies to Stacker 3.1 for Windows and DOS)

       BACKGROUND
       
       If your Stacker coprocessor was installed and working at the time
       you installed Stacker 3.1, you can configure Stacker 3.1 to
       resume using it by following these instructions.
       
       NOTE:  These instructions only apply if you are running Stacker
       3.1 for MS-DOS 6.
       
       SOLUTION
       
        Determine the base address for your AT/16 or XT/8 coprocessor
        Add the coprocessor driver to your CONFIG.SYS file
        Restart your computer
            
       Determine the base address for your AT/16 or XT/8 coprocessor
       
       Skip this section if you have the MC/16 coprocessor.
       
        1. From the DOS prompt, type STACKER and press <Enter>.
       
        2. Note the drive letter of the uncompressed drive which
           is exchanged with C (your boot drive).  The drive letter is
           displayed in the far right column.
       
        3. From the DOS prompt, type
       
                    STACINI drive: <Enter>
       
           where drive: is the letter of the uncompressed boot drive.
       
        4. Write down the number after the /B=.  This is the base
           address for your coprocessor.  The possible base addresses
           are:
                            AT/16             XT/8
                            -----             ----
                             200              C400
                             220              C800
                             240              CC00
                             260              D000
                             280              D400
                             2A0              D800
                             2E0              DC00
                                       
        5. The /B= switch has no effect in the STACKER.INI file. Move
           the cursor to this line and press DEL repeatedly to remove
           it.
       
        6. Press Ctrl+Z to save the file.
            
       Add the coprocessor driver to your CONFIG.SYS file
       
        1. Edit your CONFIG.SYS file by changing to the root directory
           of your boot drive and typing:
       
               ED CONFIG.SYS
       
        2. Type one of these lines immediately before the line that
           begins with "DEVICE. . ." and ends with "...STACHIGH.SYS":
       
               DEVICE = C:\STACKER\LZS_XT8.SYS /B=base address
                      or
               DEVICE = C:\STACKER\LZS_AT16.SYS /B=base address
                      or
               DEVICE = C:\STACKER\LZS_MC16.SYS
       
           where base address is the number from the /B= line.
       
        3. Press Ctrl+Z to save the file.

        4. Restart your computer to put the change into effect.
