ID Spotter™ IRQ/DMA Signal Detector Card for ISA-Slot PCs and ATs

pcwiz inc product line tour

Cure the Configuration Blues

1. IRQ signal lines being shared by devices
2. DMA signal lines being shared
3. I/O addresses being shared
4. Memory addresses (ROM and/or RAM) being shared

The Problem and Solution

The reason this happens is the jumper or software settings for IRQ or DMA signals, or for memory or I/O addresses are not correct. Either they are not set at all, or they are conflicting with the settings of another adapter card or built-in circuit.

The trouble is, YOU cannot find out what the current settings are without taking all the cards out of the system! To avoid this nightmare, you need pcwiz inc's InfoSpotter SnapShot Pro kit.

You can install the ID Spotter card in a slot and run all the PC's normal programs. The LEDs on the card will show the IRQ and DMA signals in use. Then, run the InfoSpotter Snapshot software. It will show you what devices are using the IRQ/DMA signals, and what I/O ports and memory addresses are used. With this data, you will know what NOT to set your new adapter card for, and you will thereby prevent conflicts.

Here's the most important point: a test card or software separately will not do the job. YOU NEED THEM BOTH to be effective troubleshooting configuration conflicts. We accept all major credit cards, so take a look at the following features and CALL IN YOUR ORDER NOW.

IRQDMA Spotter Test Card

1. Easy-to-use test card gives instant results, tucks in a shirt pocket
2. Plugs into any ISA/EISA slot
3. Takes a snapshot of IRQ & DMA usage while system is running
4. 20 LEDs show IRQ and DMA signals that software can't detect!
5. Handy pushbutton resets LEDs for repeat testing
6. RUN mode switch allows LEDs to flicker, showing IRQ/DMA hit rate
7. Display test switch verifies LEDs are working properly
8. Prevents configuration errors BEFORE they occur
9. Easy to use, but saves configuration troubleshooting time and money
10. This software is an Absolute MUST for all technicians.

According to InfoWorld, the kit is worth the price:

The fastest, most effective way of detecting hardware conflicts is to use hardware AND software tools. The IrqDma Spotter Card will trap any IRQ or DMA request the instant it occurs anywhere on the system. It will also operate in "RUN" mode to show you the intensity of activity on the signal lines and thereby indicate what peripheral device is using them. If you see the lights flashing while doing a network transfer, you know which signals the network adapter is using. In "TRAP" mode, the lights come on and STAY on when a signal occurs, and you can turn them off by pressing the on-board or system RESET button.

HOW DOES IT WORK AND HOW IS IT USED?

1. Open the cover on PC
2. Install the IrqDma Spotter Card in a Spare Slot
3. Run InfoSpotter Snapshot Software
4. Note down which LED lights come on
5. Print the screen results
6. Run other system software that uses I/O devices
7. Note which LED lights come on
8. Configure any new adapter card to settings OTHER than those used
