5.3OS/2 Client Driver Configuration Examples

Example: Configure the MPAP-100 at base address 300 hex and IRQ 5. Configuration will fail if any of these resources are already in use. Only one MPAP-100 can be used.

DEVICE=C:\MPAP-100\MPAP100.SYS (300,5)

Example: Configure the MPAP-100 at base address 300 hex and IRQ 5. Configuration will fail if any of these resources are already in use. Only one MPAP-100 can be used. Additionally, allow software control of the SYNC input of SCC channel A.

DEVICE=C:\MPAP-100\MPAP100.SYS (300,5,C)

Example: Configure the MPAP-100 at base address 300 hex and IRQ 5. If any of these resources are not available, the second choice is to configure the MPAP-100 at base address 110 hex and IRQ 15. Up to two MPAP-100s can be used.

DEVICE=C:\MPAP-100\MPAP100.SYS (300,5) (110,15)

Example: If an MPAP-100 is inserted into socket 1, configure it at base address 300 hex and IRQ 5. If any of these resources are not available, the card will not be configured. If an MPAP-100 is inserted into socket 2, configure it at base address 110 hex and IRQ 15. If any of these resources are not available, the card will not be configured. Up to two MPAP-100s can be used.

DEVICE=C:\MPAP-100\MPAP100.SYS (300,5)=S1 (110,15)=S2

5.4Monitoring The Status Of PCMCIA Cards

OS/2 Warp provides a utility called "Plug and Play for PCMCIA" that can be used to monitor the status of each PCMCIA socket. In OS/2 2.1, this utility is called "Configuration Manager". Under OS/2 Warp 4.0, when an MPAP-100 is inserted, the Card Type for the appropriate socket will display "I/O." Clicking on the "Card" icon brings up a dialog where the name displayed for the card can be changed to "Quatech MPAP-100" or any other desired name.

Under releases of OS/2 older than Warp 4.0, the default Card Type displayed may not read "I/O," but the card should be configured properly by the client driver.

If the card is successfully configured, the Card Status will display "Ready". If the card cannot be configured, the Card Status will be "Not Ready". You can view the resources claimed by a configured card by double-clicking on that card's line or status icon.
