Tips for Configuring the 3D Blaster

• If you are installing the 3D Blaster card in a non-PNP environment (as a legacy card), you will need to specify the parameters for INIT3D.EXE by running CONFIG3D.EXE and choosing the appropriate I/O base addresses and IRQ manually. Example of lines in the CONFIG.SYS:

      DEVICE=C:\3DBLAST\DOS\INIT3D.EXE /T:C7000000 /P:3E0 /I:7 /T1:D6000000
  

• If the 3D Blaster card is installed in a PNP environment with Intel Configuration Manager loaded, you will need to insert ICMFIX.EXE before loading DWCFGMG.SYS. You do not need to specify parameters for INIT3D.EXE as the IRQ and addresses are set by ICM. The following is a sample usage of ICMFIX.EXE:

      DEVICE=C:\3DBLAST\DOS\ICMFIX.EXE		
      DEVICE=C:\PLUGPLAY\DRIVERS\DOS\DWCFGMG.SYS		
      DEVICE=C:\3DBLAST\DOS\INIT3D.EXE
  

  You can use ICU to change the address setting of the 3D Blaster card when it is configured as PNP.

• If the 3D Blaster is configured as a legacy card with SB16/AWE32 PNP card, here is an example of lines in the CONFIG.SYS:

      DEVICE=C:\3DBLAST\DOS\INIT3D.EXE /T:C7000000 /P:3E0 /I:7 /T1:D6000000		
      DEVICE=C:\CTCM\CTCM.EXE		
      DEVICE=C:\SBCD\DRV\SBIDE.SYS /D:MSCD001 /V
