4.If you are using Windows 3.1, you may want to use a high-speed COMM driver instead of the standard COMM driver shipped with Windows. (Do not make this change if you are using Windows for Workgroups.) In your Windows SYSTEM.INI file, replace the line in the [boot] section that reads

comm.drv=comm.drv

with

comm.drv=New High Speed Driver

Refer to your software vendor for a new high speed COMM driver. This is optional and will allow your Serial Card to perform reliably in Windows at higher speeds.

5.With your Serial Card inserted in a PCMCIA slot, it should now be configured and set up each time you turn on or reboot your PC. Note that since ENABLE.EXE is a Point Enabler, you will need to re-run the ENABLE command line with the appropriate switches each time your laptop goes to sleep or each time you remove and re-insert the Serial Card.

NOTE: The ENABLE.EXE program does not support all PCMCIA controller types out on the market. It will work on all controllers that are compatible with the Intel 82365 PCMCIA controller.

NOTE: The IBM 360 and 755/755C do not allow the range D000-D3FF to be used. We recommend using the range C800- CBFF instead.

To allow easy configuration of the 232PCC, a Windows 95 "INF" configuration file has been included on the distribution diskette. This file provides all of the setup information required by Windows 95 to allocate resources for the card.

The 232PCC installation procedure differs slightly between versions of Windows 95. In either case, the first step is to supply Windows 95 with the

.inf configuration files supplied on the 232PCC disk.
