5 OS/2 Software Installation

An OS/2 client driver is provided with the MPAP-100. This client driver works with OS/2's Card and Socket Services to allow operation of the MPAP-100 under OS/2.

5.1System Requirements

OS/2 2.1 or later.

OS/2 PCMCIA Card and Socket Services support must be installed. See "Installing OS/2 PCMCIA support" below if you do not already have this support installed.

5.2OS/2 Client Driver Installation

The MPAP-100 OS/2 client driver requires desired configurations from the user on the command line. If no desired configurations are provided by the user, the client driver will NOT ask Card Services to attempt to determine a hardware configuration for the card.

The client driver will attempt to configure an MPAP-100 with the first available configuration listed from left to right on the command line. Each desired configuration must be enclosed in parentheses and must be separated from other desired configurations by a space on the command line. Within each desired configuration, the parameters are separated using commas (no spaces).

1.Copy the MPAP100.SYS client driver file from the distribution disk to any convenient directory on the hard disk.

2.Open the CONFIG.SYS file using any ASCII text editor.

3.Add the following line to the CONFIG.SYS file:

DEVICE=drive:\path\MPAP100.SYS (addr,irq,C) ... (addr,irq,C)

where drive:\path specifies the drive letter and directory to which you copied the client driver file, and (addr,irq,C) ... (addr,irq,C) stand for a variable number of desired configurations. The configuration parameters are described below.
