Socket Services and Card Services

Your computer having Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) support allows you to insert credit card-sized devices called PC Cards. The PCMCIA standard defines both a hardware and software standard. The software standard identifies two specifications which are called Socket Services and Card Services.

Socket Services provides lowest level support by providing a common interface to varying types of PCMCIA adapter hardware. Card Services provides support for PCMCIA aware device drivers (known as clients), and is responsible for coordinating access to the PC Cards and allocating system resources among client drivers.

Ositech's Trumpcard software is PCMCIA aware and will work with most Socket Services and Card Services available, that conform to the PCMCIA 2.x standard. The Trumpcard software will operate as a client driver when used with Card Services, and can coexist with other client drivers (i.e. Super Clients, Flash, ATA, ...). When operating with Card and Socket Services the Trumpcard software will support hot removal and insertion of the PC Card.

If Card Services is not detected by the Trumpcard software but Socket Services is, then the software will operate with Socket Services only. Support for Socket Services is provided to allow for differing types of PCMCIA hardware to be used by the Trumpcard software, but the full range of features will not be supported (mainly hot removal/insertion).

It is also possible to use the Trumpcard software without Card Services or Socket Services but, as with only using Socket Services, the full range of features will not be supported. If your computer did not come equipped with Card and Socket Services, contact your computer manufacturer or dealer for more details.

Multi-Function Configuration

If the Trumpcard you are using provides other functions in addition to Ethernet networking, please refer to the Installation Manual accompanying the Trumpcard. Details on how to enable and use all the functions provided on the Trumpcard will be discussed in that manual.
