2.1.3 Common Problems
Generic Client Drivers:
Many Card and Socket Services packages include a generic client driver (or
SuperClient) which configures standard I/O devices. If one of these generic client
drivers is installed, it may configure the SSP-100 causing the SSP-100 client driver to fail
installation. In these cases, the user should do one of the following:
1. modify the operation of the generic client driver to disable the configuration
of modem/serial port cards. Consult the Card and Socket Services
documentation for availability and details of this feature.
2. place the SSP-100 client driver before the generic client driver in the
CONFIG.SYS.
Available Resources:
One function of the Card and Socket Services software is to track which system
resources (memory addresses, I/O addresses, IRQs, etc.) are available for assignment
to inserted PCMCIA cards. Sometimes, however, the Card Services software assumes
or incorrectly determines that a particular resource is used when it is actually available.
Most Card and Socket Services generate a resource table in a file (typically in the form
of an .INI file) which the user can modify to adjust the available system resources.
Consult the Card and Socket Services documentation for availability and details of this
feature.
Multiple Configuration Attempts:
Some Card and Socket Services have a setting which aborts the configuration process
after a single configuration failure (such as a request for an unavailable resource). The
user should change this setting to allow for multiple configuration attempts. Consult
the Card and Socket Services documentation for availability and details of this feature.
Older Versions of Card and Socket Services:
Some versions of Card and Socket Services dated before 1993 do not support general
purpose I/O cards. If after careful installation of the Client Driver the SSP-100 does not
configure or operate properly, an updated version of Card and Socket Services may be
required. Card and Socket Services software is available from Quatech.
