(I hope this is right - I haven't used a 286 since last January :-)

In /usr/linkkit/cf/master you need to choose the ev entry (there was an error
in the master file in that the ar driver and the ev driver were both called
"ar") Change the line (in master) from:
	ar	ev ...
to:
	ev	ev ...

Set up the PC-36 for any unused address, any unused intr, and any unused DMA.
(a good set of defaults is addr 0x300, IRQ 5, and DMA 1)

run the program /usr/linkkit/utility/evinstall (or some such - do an ls and see)

Answer the questions it asks you with the values you set above.

If you wish, you can edit the master and dfile.wini files and config things
any other way you wish.
