3.3MPAP-100 Enabler for DOS

For systems that are not using PCMCIA Card and Socket Services software, the MPAP-100 DOS enabler may be used to enable and configure the card. The enabler will operate on any DOS system using an Intel 82365SL (PCIC) or PCIC-compatible PCMCIA socket adapter including the Cirrus Logic CL-PD6710/6720, the VLSI VL82C146, and the Vadem VG-365 among others.

IMPORTANT

The enabler can be used ONLY if Card and Socket

Services is NOT installed on the system!

3.3.1DOS Enabler Installation

To install the DOS enabler program, copy the file MPAP1EN.EXE from the MPAP-100 distribution diskette onto the system's hard drive. No setup steps are required.

IMPORTANT

The enabler requires a region of high DOS memory when configuring an MPAP-100. This region is 1000H bytes (4KB) long and by default begins at address D0000H (the default address may be changed using the "W" option). If a memory manager such as EMM386, QEMM, or 386Max is installed on the system, this region of DOS memory must

be excluded from the memory manager's control. Consult the documentation provided with the memory manager software for instructions on how to exclude this memory region.

3.3.2Hot Swapping is not supported

The MPAP-100 enabler does not support automatic configuration of adapters upon insertion, commonly referred to as "Hot Swapping". The enabler must be executed after insertion of an MPAP-100 card. If more than one MPAP-100 is installed in a system, the enabler must be executed separately for each card. A card that is removed and reinserted must be reconfigured by executing the enabler again.
