    Make sure the vxd is loaded and the card is successfully enabled.

    Click  Continue
           Start.

    All tests should pass. 
    If you get an Input/Output error, use the following instructions to
    attempt to resolve the conflict.

    Note:  If you have a MicroPlus 5250 Adapter, verify the dipswitch
           settings on the adapter match the range given by the Enabler.
           If they do not, change the dipswitches on the adapter and
           retry diagnostics.  Please see Affinity Systems from Perle 5250 Diagnostics
           Help.  Search for "I/O Address".  Choose "MicroPLUS I/O Address
           Switch Settings."  Change your dipswitches to match the I/O
           address you want to use.

           If you still get an Input/Output error, Continue with Step #2.

2.  Change the Input/Output Range of the Affinity adapter in W95.

    From the W95 desktop,

    Click        Resources

    Uncheck the box:  Use Automatic Settings

    2688, 2710)

    Under Conflict Information, make sure it says
           "No devices are conflicting"
    Click  Okay

    NOTE:  If you are unable to change the resource, click on the down
           arrow next to  "Setting Based On Basic Configuration..."

    Settings."  Change your dipswitches to match the I/O address you want
    to use.

5.  Restart your computer.

    Retry Diagnostics.  (See Step #1 above.)

    If you get another I-O error message, try another I-O address.
