Installation Guide ------------------ 1. Install PC-DOS on Hard Disk or Diskette. 2. Unzip this package with no option. 3. Copy CONFIG.SYS file to the root directory of the boot drive. 4. Copy other files to \PCCARD directory of the boot drive. 5. Modify CONFIG.SYS file along with your environment. (If needed.) Note: This package does not support the ThinkPad Software Installer. Technical Information ---------------------- 1. Package Contents Files in this package and each functions are following: - IBMDOSCS.SYS : Card Services driver for DOS - IBMDSS14.SYS : Socket Services driver for DOS - DICRMU01.SYS : Resource Map Utility driver for DOS. - CONFIG.SYS : Sample file of CONFIG.SYS 2. Parameters of Resource Map Utility (DICRMU01.SYS) are following: /MA=xxxx-yyyy : Specifies the address range available for Card Services and the PC Cards. This should be specified in the range from D000h to DFFFh. (Note) If EMM386 or another EMS memory manager is used, this area must be excluded from use by the memory manager. (For example: "EMM386 X=xxxx-yyyy".) /IX=n Specifies the IRQ level (or levels) that should not be used by the PC Cards (where n=IRQ level). This parameter is used to avoid possible IRQ conflicts. The Resource Map Utility can automatically detect many IRQ's that are already in use, but may not detect all. Multiple IRQ's may be specified by separating them with a comma (,). /SH=1 : This parameter enables the "Shared" IRQ for the built-in serial devices.
