APPENDIX B: PC Card Driver

In this chapter, each PC card driver which is called by CONFIG.SYS or by AUTOEXEC.BAT is explained. These PC card drivers and INI file are stored in the directory, C:￿CARDSOFT, on the basic drive (C: ).

SystemSoft’s CardWizard PC card solution provides OEMs with a complete software solution for integrating PCMCIA controllers and slots into their computers. The CardWizard software suite provides a complete “plug and play” system software solution for both DOS and Windows 3.1.

This solution consists of the following drives and utilities. Please be aware that your particular configuration may not include all drivers and utilities.

Socket Services (SS365SL.EXE)

Socket Services provides a standard software interface to host controller chips and isolates the socket hardware from higher level software. Socket Services includes functions such as configuring a socket for an I/O or memory interface and controlling socket power voltages. The Socket Services driver included depends upon the host controller chip that the system supports.

Option

/SKT:x Number of supported slots Range: 1 to 4 (Default: 4)

Specifies the number of slots that driver supports. On machines that have a PCMCIA adaptor that can support more slots than are present in the machines, this value should be set to the exact number of slots present.

Card Services (CS.EXE)

The Card Services driver manages competition for system resources and manages adapter and card resources and configuration

Option

/POLL Poll for status change Range : 0 to 1 (Default : 0)

When set to 1, Card Services will not use a card-status-change interrupt to determine status changes on the system. It will instead poll for status changes (inserted card has been removed, empty slot

is now occupied, etc.). This parameter should be set to 1 if the system does not have an available IRQ to use as a card-status-change interrupt, or if it does not support a card-status-change interrupt.
