SystemSoft
The SystemSoft’s CardSoft Card and Socket Services are loaded in the
CONFIG.SYS file and generally include the following lines:
DEVICE=C:\CARDSOFT\SOCKET_SERVICES_DRIVER (This file varies by
machine type)
DEVICE=C:\CARDSOFT\CS.EXE
DEVICE=C:\CARDSOFT\CSALLOC.EXE C:\CARDSOFT\CSALLOC.INI
DEVICE=C:\CARDSOFT\CARDID.EXE (Called a ‘generic’ card driver)
Resources assigned by CardSoft Card and Socket Services are controlled by
the files CSALLOC.INI and CARDID.INI. CSALLOC.INI contains a list
of resources available to Card and Socket Services. CARDID.INI controls
how resources will be assigned to specific types of cards. The setting in the
PRO/100 CardBus adapter driver configuration file should match the
resources assigned by the LAN1xxxxxx keywords in the CARDID.INI file.
The LAN1MEMORYBASE2 entry can be ignored.
A driver failed to load, and I’m NOT using Card and
Socket Services
A Verify that a block of memory for use by the PRO/100 CardBus
adapter has been excluded from any memory manager being
loaded. Memory managers are generally loaded in the
CONFIG.SYS. The following example is given for
EMM386.EXE and a PRO/100 CardBus adapter loading at its
default memory address of D2000:
DEVICE=C:\PATH\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D200-D2FF
B Since your are not using Card and Socket Services, verify that
power management has been disabled and the PC Card socket is
powered/enabled in the computer system’s CMOS setup. These
settings may not be present in all machines. Consult your
computer documentation for information on how to access and
modify the system setup.
