The configuration (.cfg) file used by the ICU for this card is now invalid or does not exist. Do you wish to load the file? No configuration (.cfg) file exists for the card being modified. Do you want to load one? This message appears when you try to add a listed card and the configuration file for this card has been corrupted or deleted from the database. You can get a copy of the configuration file from the original ISA Configuration Utility Diskette that you used to create the backup ICU diskette. Use the following procedure: This message appears when you modify a card and its configuration file does not exist or has been deleted. For example, type cd a:\db. The name of the configuration file is part of this card ID. For example, if the card ID is ICU0200, the configuration file is !icu0200.cfg. This is an EISA system. Use an ECU, not the ICU, to configure your system. This message appears if you attempt to run the ICU on an EISA system. To use the ICU, you must load the utility onto a non-EISA system. You have added a card using settings different from factory default. Reconfigure the card to the settings in the next display (see the card's manual) before installing it. This message can appear in two situations: You added an ISA expansion card, selected OK, and the ICU had to use resource values different from the card's defaults to avoid conflicts. You added an ISA expansion card, selected Advanced, and chose resource values different from the card's defaults. Make note of the new card configuration shown in the Card Resource Usage dialog box displayed after this message. Change jumper settings on the ISA expansion card to match the new card configuration.
