IBM Hardware Setup for IBM 4694 � 144/244/245

Add Expansion card to add a COM 3 and COM 4 
(We are currently using a LAVA card)]
Port Assignments: 
Port A -  Com 1 � Scanner
Port B -  Com 2 � Integrated Credit
              Com 3 -  Scale
              Com 4 � Printer (Axhiom Thermal)

Port 3A � IBM Cash Drawer
Port 4 � Customer Display
Port 5 � IBM Keyboard (Config set for 48 Key #92F6310)

NIC Setup � 
For 144 & 244  use the onboard NIC card which is defaulted to IRQ 10 in bios.

For 245�s we have added a NIC card using NE2000 protocol and assigning IRQ 10.  We are doing this because the onboard IBM NIC port is preset to IRQ 9 in bios and cannot be changed.  We are currently using a Kingston card.

**On the 245�s you must disable the �dump� switch from the motherboard by disconnecting the cable.
