NOTE: Putting the above line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file will cause the Enable program to run each time you reboot or turn your PC on. Do not add this line if Card and Socket Service programs are being used.

The "/com#" switch indicates what COM port you want your Serial Card to be set up on. If you want COM4 instead of COM2, you would use the following:

ENABLE /com4 /sA /MD000

The "/s" switch indicates which PCMCIA slot contains your Serial Card. If you wanted slot B instead of slot A, you would use the following:

ENABLE /com2 /sB /MD000

(On machines with more than one slot, there is no standard way to distinguish which port will be A and which will be B. Usually they are not labeled. You may need to find out through trial and error.)

The "/M" switch indicates what memory window the ENABLE program will use for communication with your Serial Card. The four-character number following the /M is a hexadecimal address. If you have a memory conflict at the default D000 range, you could change it to something else. For example, if you wanted D800, you would enter:

ENABLE /com2 /sA /MD800

3.If you are not using an expanded memory manager such as EMM386.SYS, skip to step 4. If you are using an expanded memory manager such as EMM386.SYS, you must exclude the memory range you specified in step 2. (Each expanded memory manager has a command line switch that allows you to

exclude a range of memory addresses from the memory manager's control. See your memory manager documentation for the exact form of the command line switch.) If you used the default D000 in step 2, you must exclude the range D000-D3FF; if you used D800, you must exclude D800-DBFF, etc.

If you are using an expanded memory manager before you run Microsoft Windows, you must also add an "EMMExclude" line to the [386Enh] section of your SYSTEM.INI file to inform Windows of the excluded range. For example:
