Quatech SSP-300 SSP-200/300 Enabler for DOS, Available Resources, Multiple Configuration Attempts

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-200/300 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.

2.2 SSP-200/300 Enabler for DOS

For systems that are not operating PCMCIA Card and Socket Services software, the SSP-200/300 DOS Enabler may be used to enable and configure the adapter. This Enabler, SSP231EN.EXE, 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-200/300 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-200/300 Enabler may interfere with its operation and with the device(s) it controls.
