Utilities and Applications.
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 PCMCIA socket hardware implementation from the PRO/
100 PC Card driver.
••
••
• Control the allocation of resources (memory windows, I/O ports,
interrupts) to the PRO/100 PC Card.
Recommendations for Use of Card and Socket Ser-
vices with the PRO/100 PC Card.
A. If the memory manager EMM386.EXE is being used, verify that the
memory required for the PRO/100 PC Card has been excluded from use
by the memory manager in the CONFIG.SYS. The memory exclusion

exclusion needed by the
PRO/100 PC Card 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
