I see that the last request for this was placed FOREVER ago, and well.. I really need this- I'm guessing that, as my switches are set to the default based on others' pictures, it's currently at address 1340 irq 11, but I really do need the info on this- the installation guide is no help, as it refers back to the shipping carton paperwork (obviously not around) thanks!
I work with this some time ago. You only musst write down the switches on = 1 off = 0. The binary code transform to hex and you have your settings.

Thanks both of you for being so fast to reply! (apparently my search of this subforum wasn't using the best choice of keywords) so what do the first 2 options in dma/irq mean? autoconfigure or something?
I can't read japanese, but I think they mean not to use any IRQ/DMA channel at all. You shouldn't need to disable them, though. The only relevant parameter for DEXBIOS is the I/O address. Even if the card is configured to use an IRQ/DMA channel, you can omit the corresponding setting for DEXBIOS (thus causing it not to use any channel) and it will still work. It might be a little bit slower than necessary, but it works. By the way: luckily, these cards do not support PnP, so there is no autoconfigure. I say luckily because it avoids the configuration hell of the DTL-H2500 (which, being a PCI device, supports Plug 'n Pray). Ask Jackhead, he can tell a thing or two about this :110:.
Please dont ask for H2500 Its an hate & love interface. I want to bash some sony guys for this device :nod: :110: .
thanks guys, as my other post says- I've got it up and running... BUT am curious- XP won't touch the damn board (pretty much seems to not be sending the commands over the ISA bus) - but I also see that XP lost support for non-PnP ISA. 98se works great, but it's a bit old to use most of the software I want to use with it. Has anyone gotten a H2000 working in 2k- I'd try it but I need to buy a new disc set as I sold my last copy.
I haven't tried, but I suspect it won't work. The NTVDM (Virtual DOS Machine) does not have appropriate drivers, so the I/O port accesses of these DOS programs will simply be ignored. I assume one could write a VDD (virtual device driver) for the H2000, but it would still need a real device driver to perform hardware accesses. Alternatively, you could use the "set usermode IOPL" command (NtSetProcessInformation with a ProcessInformationClass of UserModeIOPL) on the NTVDM process, which would allow the VDD to control the hardware itself. However, this call enables accessing all I/O ports, so it could easily screw up your system if misused. And you would need to run NTVDM under a user account with the TCB privilege, which is not a good idea from a security standpoint as well. By the way: I know there exists a DECI Firmware for the H2500 (which seems to be needed for operating the card under NT4), and I think I saw a corresponding ROM image for the H2000 as well. So you might be able to use the card at least under NT4, provided you can exchange the ROM.
hm.. i see 2 chips on the board with dates- i'd presume the dip is the main rom? http://www.flickr.com/photos/defor/4269562180/sizes/l/ it's a bit disappointing that nt compatibility isn't spread across all board types- I'll screw around with it tonight and see I can get anywhere- I've tossed a spare drive in the system for working with this as is so it's not a big deal if I hose it.
Best solution is Win98SE SP2 i think. This have many reasons. One example, the USB support... You can also use an bootloader and make on you XP system an Win98SE up and running. Search for an working bootloader for your system. Throw the time you have to test something with Dos6.22, win3.11 and Win98SE. You safe much time and nervs with an good bootloader :nod: Silverbull and i use Pentium 2 boards for PSDev. I have some spare pcbs when you need some hardware for your kit, i can help you. I use "Systemcommander V9" as bootloader. Very good one. :thumbsup:
I'd think so, but I'm only speculating. I have never tried to use these cards under NT4; my PS1 development systems runs fine under DOS and Win98. The latter one is mainly for the H2500, as my copy of H25BIOS doesn't like to be invoked from a real DOS prompt. Good luck. If we had the specification of the hardware interfaces, we could write our own drivers to make these cards work under NT and later systems, but honestly I don't expect them to surface after all this time.
I've got deci working fine (aka codewarrior and the like) in xp and windows 7... is there any way to actually control the deci drivers from anything other than cw?
I know that an ProDG IDE exist for ps. Good chance that ProDG use deci driver, but i dont know exactly. Unlikely i dont have it :-( .
