Troubleshooting

SystemSoft

The SystemSoft’s CardSoft Card and Socket Services are loaded in the CONFIG.SYS file and generally include the following lines:

DEVICE=C:\CARDSOFT\SOCKET_SERVICES_DRIVER (This file varies by

machine type)

DEVICE=C:\CARDSOFT\CS.EXE

DEVICE=C:\CARDSOFT\CSALLOC.EXE C:\CARDSOFT\CSALLOC.INI

DEVICE=C:\CARDSOFT\CARDID.EXE (Called a ‘generic’ card driver)

Resources assigned by CardSoft Card and Socket Services are controlled by the files CSALLOC.INI and CARDID.INI. CSALLOC.INI contains a list of resources available to Card and Socket Services. CARDID.INI controls how resources will be assigned to specific types of cards. The setting in the PRO/100 CardBus adapter driver configuration file should match the resources assigned by the LAN1xxxxxx keywords in the CARDID.INI file. The LAN1MEMORYBASE2 entry can be ignored.

A driver failed to load, and I’m NOT using Card and Socket Services

AVerify that a block of memory for use by the PRO/100 CardBus adapter has been excluded from any memory manager being loaded. Memory managers are generally loaded in the CONFIG.SYS. The following example is given for EMM386.EXE and a PRO/100 CardBus adapter loading at its default memory address of D2000:

DEVICE=C:\PATH\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D200-D2FF

BSince your are not using Card and Socket Services, verify that power management has been disabled and the PC Card socket is powered/enabled in the computer system’s CMOS setup. These settings may not be present in all machines. Consult your computer documentation for information on how to access and modify the system setup.
