2.2 SSP-100 Enabler for DOS
For systems that are not operating PCMCIA Card and Socket Services software, the
SSP-100 DOS Enabler may be used to enable and configure the adapter. This Enabler,
SSP100EN, will operate on any DOS system using an Intel 82365SL or PCIC compatible
PCMCIA host adapter including the Cirrus Logic CL-PD6710 / 6720, the VLSI
VL82C146, and the Vadem VG-365 among others.
IMPORTANT:
In order to use the SSP-100 Enabler for DOS, the system
MUST NOT be configured with Card and Socket Services
software. If a Card and Socket Services software is installed,
the SSP-100 Enabler may interfere with its operation and
with the device(s) it controls.
The SSP-100 Enabler does not support automatic configuration of adapters upon
insertion, more commonly referred to as "Hot Swapping". This means the adapter must
be installed in one of the system's PCMCIA sockets before executing SSP100EN. If
more than one adapter is installed in a system, the Enabler must be executed separately
for each adapter. Furthermore, SSP100EN should be executed to release the resources
used by the adapter before it is removed from the PCMCIA socket. Since PCMCIA
adapters do not retain their configuration after removal, any adapter that is removed
from the system must be reconfigured with the Enabler after re-inserting it into a
PCMCIA socket.
IMPORTANT:
The Enabler requires a region of high DOS memory when
configuring a SSP-100 This region is 1000H bytes (4KB) long
and by default begins at address D0000H (the default address
may be changed using the "W" option). If a memory manager
such as EMM386, QEMM, or 386Max is installed on the system,
this region of DOS memory must be excluded from the memory
manager's control. Consult the documentation provided with
the memory manager software for instructions on how to
exclude this memory region.
