Before You Begin your Installation
The product you have purchased is designed to
be easily installed into most IBM PC or compatible
systems. Many products have large, easy-to-read
legends to allow for the easy configuring of the
product. This installation manual contains detailed
instructions. Most included software has automatic installation
programs to place the software correctly onto your computer.
However, as all computers are configured differently, you may be
required to perform some basic DOS or Windows tasks. If you are not
familiar with basic DOS commands such as DIR, CD, or EDIT, you
should check your DOS manual, or seek assistance from you local
computer dealer to install the product.
How to get Technical Assistance
The dealer that you purchased this product or your computer from is
the first place you should go for technical assistance. The dealer is
usually the most qualified source of help, and is
most familiar with your system and how this
product should be installed. Many dealers have
customer service and technical support programs,
with varying levels of support offered, depending
on your needs and computer knowledge. Please contact the dealer first
whenever a problem occurs.
If your Dealer Can’t Assist you
If you can’t get assistance from your dealer, the manufacturer provides
varying levels of technical assistance as summarized on the following
page.

The Standard Free Technical Support
number is for quick answers to specific
inquiries on product features and
technical questions (call 407-241-8088;
M-F, 8 am to 6:30 pm EST). Direct
access to technical support
representatives is provided on a
limited basis. If you require immediate attention or in-depth help with the
installation of the product, please call our 900-priority support number for
service. This number gives you immediate access to senior-level technicians.
The number is 900-555-4900. You will be charged $2.00 per minute. The
charges will appear on your next phone bill.
Damaged or Missing Items
We use many world-class quality assurance programs to ensure the product
you purchased is of the highest caliber. Sometimes, however, a component
may be missing from the box, or is damaged or corrupt in some way. If this
happens, immediately return the entire package to your place of purchase so
you may exchange it for a new one. Your dealer should be able to provide you
with an exchange far more quickly than by contacting us directly. If for some
reason you are unable to return the product directly to its place of purchase,
refer to the “Servicing Your Product” and “Warranty” sections in this manual
for instructions.

QuickStart
• Review package contents
• The ID200 controller
• 34-pin diskette drive cable
• 40-pin hard drive cable
• Configure the jumpers or accept the default settings (see diagram on
next page).
• Insert the IDE200 controller in any available 16-bit expansion slot.
• Connect one end of the 34-pin floppy cable to your floppy drive and
the other end to the J2 connector on the IDE200. Make sure the
colored stripe (often red) goes to Pin 1.
• Connect one end of the 40-pin hard drive cable to your hard disk
drive and the other end to the J1 connector on the IDE200. Make sure
the colored stripe (often red) goes to Pin 1.
• Attach your serial device to J4 (serial port A) and your parallel
printer to J9. Secure the serial connector and bracket assembly to a
vacant rear slot. Attach the free end of the cable to J3 (serial port B) on
the IDE200. Then attach your serial device to the external connector
on the bracket assembly.
• Power up your system using a DOS diskette.
• If you connected the IDE200 to a new hard drive, run FDISK and
FORMAT to prepare your IDE hard drive for use; otherwise, simply
power up your system and the IDE200 will automatically recognize
your existing drive.

Complete IDE Series: IDE200
Section One: Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the Complete IDE200 from Boca
Research for ISA- and EISA-based systems. The important advantage
of IDE technology is having the fixed disk controller logic incorporated
onto the drive itself. This enables a faster access time when retrieving
and recording data. The IDE interface also provides more reliable
performance than older MFM and RLL encoding standards. The
IDE200 offers:
• a 25-pin IBM PC/AT compatible parallel printer port
• a 9-pin PC/AT compatible serial port (SERIAL port A).
• a 25-pin serial port (SERIAL port B).
• hard drive and diskette drive enable/disable capability
• hard drive primary/secondary selection
• primary and secondary IRQ for hard drive
• LED connector
You can select the address and IRQs used for each port via an array of
jumpers located on the IDE200. Other features include:
• Diskette drive interface
• Hard drive interface
• 16-bit interface
• I/O addresses:
Serial A (COM1 or COM3; IRQ4 or IRQ7), or Disabled.
Serial B (COM2 or COM4; IRQ3 or IRQ5), or Disabled.
• LPT 1-2 or disabled (IRQ 5 or 7)

9
Using a high-speed dual NS16450 compatible UART chip for the serial
ports, the IDE200 controller is specifically designed to work with ISA
and EISA systems.
See Section Three for additional details on features and capabilities.
If you are an experienced computer user who wishes to take some
shortcuts through installation, refer to the Quickstart (page 8).
Otherwise, please read the entire manual before attempting to install
the IDE200 controller.
