These features include the guest PC video card, sound card, and ethernet controller. <P>When installing an operating system on a guest PC, it is sometimes necessary to manually configure the operating system to use the hardware specified by Connectix. If this is the case, consult the topics below.</P> <H2>Video Card Configuration</H2> <P>Virtual PC emulates the S3 Trio 32/64 PCI video card. This video card should be specified for programs that require manual configuration. </P> <H2>Sound Card Configuration</H2> <P>Because of the variety of sound cards available for the PC, many DOS applications require that you manually specify the sound card settings when installing or configuring the DOS application for the first time. <P>If a PC program requires manual sound configuration, specify a Creative Labs SoundBlaster&reg; 16 using Port 220, IRQ 5, and DMA channels 1 (8b) and 5 (16b).</P> <H3>Sound Input</H3> <P>Virtual PC provides 16-bit, 44 kHz sound input through Sound Blaster 16 emulation. This means that you can use a microphone to record sound directly into guest PC sound applications. Depending on how your CD-ROM drive is configured, you may also be able to record audio directly from your CD-ROM into guest PC sound applications. </P> <H2>Ethernet Controller Configuration</H2> <P>Virtual PC emulates a DEC 21104a Ethernet controller. Regardless of the Ethernet hardware installed in your host PC, select the DEC 21104a Ethernet controller for use with the guest PC.</P> <P CLASS=NOTE><B>Note</B>: In some cases, the DEC 21104a may show up on the guest PC as Intel 21104a. These are equivalent Ethernet controllers.</P> <H2>Related Topics</H2> <A HREF="vpc9InstallOS.htm" >Installing a new OS</A><BR> <A HREF="../../vpc02/pgs/vpc2Display.htm">Changing the PC display mode</A><BR> <A HREF="../../vpc03/pgs/vpc3Sound.htm">Specifying sound preferences</A><BR> <P><A HREF="../../vpc04/pgs/vpc4Networking.htm">Specifying network settings</A> </P> <CET_ADSENSEF> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-5291624188982543"; /* 728x90, A>740=> 04.02.08 */ google_ad_slot = "9704471239"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </CET_ADSENSEF> <CET_FOOTER> <table width="100%" border="0"> <tr> <td colspan="2" bgcolor="#0099FF"><div align="right" class="style1"> <div align="center"><font color="#FFFFFF">You are reading help file online using chmlib.com</font></div> </div></td> </tr> </table> <hr align="left" width="650"><BR> If you want your help file to be removed or added please send e-mail to chmlibcom@gmail.com </CET_FOOTER> </BODY> </HTML>
