IBM 4695 Touchscreen Card Setup

Setting up the 4695 IBM touch screen card on a standard computer

  1. For quick setup, set all switches to the OPEN position, except for switch 5 that should be set to CLOSE.
  2. This setup corresponds to:
    Switch 1 Switch 2 Switch 3 Switch 4 Switch 5 Switch 5
    OPEN

    OPEN

    OPEN OPEN

    CLOSE

    OPEN
    I / O Address 6C0-6DF

     

      Base Memory Address DC000- DFFFF

     

     
  3. Also make sure that:
  4. Go to DOS in C:\Posera\MaitreD\Prg\IBMNET and edit your PROTOCOL.INI file.
  5. You will see in the file:

  6. Start Maitre'D. Do a workstation disk for IBM 4695 and also create a LAN disk.
  7. Insert your boot disk in your workstation with the IBM 4695 touch screen and it will work.

Additional notes for older Maitre'D versions and multiplexor support

For the initial development, the MAITRE'D software supports only the touch screen interface and no support is available for the card reader or other devices that could be attached to the screen.
For quick setup, set all switches to the close position and you will get a setup using IRQ7. If the IRQ7 is not free on your machine, put the switch 6 to the open position; this will set the card to use the IRQ11.

This setup corresponds to I / O address 600-61F

Memory address C800-CBFF Primary adapter

Position 6

Software installation:

The software drivers needed to run the touch screen cannot be added to the current workstations disks using a multiplexor because there is not enough room on such a disk. The user could set up a hard disk with the proper files on the workstation to bypass this problem.
Lines to be added to the autoexec.bat and config.sys for manual installation.

Config.sys:

device=base.sys / C1 Device=oed-drvr.sys / P1A / NOED1 Device=tch-drvr.sys / P1A / NTCH1

Autoexec.bat:

hbtouch.exe Press F1 on boot to enter the CMOS and make sure the following values are set properly:

Ethernet Setup

0300-031F IRQ 5 IBM RPL D8000-DBFFF

Device Channel Setup

System Device Channel 0600-061F IRQ 7 8kb C8000-C9FFF To make a network floppy make sure to use the correct WSMSN disk sample for the IBM 4695. Because the network card IO and IRQ, the EMM386 command line is not the same than the Elographic.
