Troubleshooting
NOTE:
This section applies only if you are running MS-DOS, Microsoft Windows 3.x, or
Workgroups 3.11 with Card and Socket Services that support CardBus. Upgrading
to new drivers from Intel may also be required, as new Card and Socket software is
released.
A driver failed to load, and I’m using Card and Socket Services
Card and Socket Services are a set of drivers designed to support the PC
Card (PCMCIA) standard. These drivers are generally supplied by the
computer manufacturer. Among other functions they
• Hide the PC Card socket hardware implementation from the PRO/
100 CardBus adapter driver.
• Control the allocation of resources (memory windows, I/O ports,
interrupts) to the PRO/100 CardBus adapter.
Recommendations for Use of Card and Socket
Services with the PRO/100 CardBus adapter.
A If the memory manager EMM386.EXE is being used, verify that
the memory required for the PRO/100 CardBus adapter has been
excluded from use by the memory manager. Memory managers
are generally loaded in the CONFIG.SYS. The memory exclusion
required when using Card and Socket Services is generally larger
than the exclusion needed by the PRO/100 CardBus adapter
alone. The safest setting when troubleshooting is to “remark out”
the entire “C” and “D” memory ranges, as follows:
DEVICE=C:\[path]\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=C000-DFFF
After the driver has been successfully loaded, the memory
exclusion may be reduced through trial and error or in accordance
with the Card and Socket Services documentation. The system
must be rebooted before the revised settings take effect.
