 This archive contains the following directories:                              
              
   A303drv    : Contains the Windows NT driver for the A303 board                    
   A303lib    : Contains the Win32 dll (WinNT and Win9x compatible) to 
		control the A303 board                         
   bin        : Contains the executables of programs that controls SY527
		and SY127                   
   sy527demo  : Contains a Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 project with source code
		of the demo program that controls the SY527 via Caenet 
   sy127demo  : Contains a Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 project with source code
		of the demo program that controls the SY127 via Caenet 

 All the above software works with A303 and A303A, because they are software         
 compatible.                                                             
 
 Pre-installation notes:

 1. Have the A303 or A303A module user manual.

 2. Decide the I/O Port Address for A303 (it must not conflict with 
    preinstalled hardware).
    The correct values depend on your PC setup, but typical values are:
    0x330, 0x300, 0x200, ...

 3. Configure A303 module by specifing I/O addressing (SW7 on A303A or SW1 on A303
    in position OFF) and by setting the I/O port (SW1 ... SW4 on A303A or 
    SW3, SW4, SW5 on A303).

 4. (WinNT) - Enable A303 Interrupt generation: (SW6 on A303A or SW2 on A303 in position ON).
              It is IRQ9; be sure it is not already in use on your PC. 
    (Win9x) - Disable A303 Interrupt generation: (SW6 on A303A or SW2 on A303 in position OFF).

 5. Install the A303 module into a free ISA Bus slot and power up the PC.

 Windows NT 4.0 driver installation notes:

 1. Log in as Administrator or as an user with equivalent permissions.

 2. Copy the file a303drv\a303.sys in the %windir%\system32\drivers directory.
    (%windir% corresponds to C:\WINNT on most systems).

 3. Run the program regini.exe from the command prompt as follows:
    regini a303.ini

 4: Restart the computer

 Now you are able to run the example programs from the bin directory.
