Additional Information:	Creating the diskette 1. Download the file to a temporary directory on your hard drive. 2. Insert a blank, formated disk into the floppy drive. 3. Run the file by double-clicking on it from Windows Explorer. 4. Follow the instructions on the screen and it will expand the image onto your diskette drive. Installing the PC Card program Note: Please remove any PCMCIA cards installed in the system. Also make sure that no other applications are running on the system. 1.) Start Windows. Insert the PC Card device driver disk 1 into the floppy drive. 2.) Click on File then Run and type a:\install and then click on OK. 3.) At the Welcome window, click on Next. 4.) It prompts you to enter your name and your company name. After doing so, click on Next. 5.) After verifying the information, click on Yes. 6.) A window with your system information appears. Click on Next to continue. 7.) When prompted, select Let Setup Modify the original system files and then click on Next. 8.) When prompted, select Let Setup Modify the original .INI files and then click on Next. 9.) You will be asked what type of setup you would like to do and where you would like to install the drivers. Click on Next to accept the defaults. 10.) You will be asked which Program Folder to add the icons to. Click Next to accept the defaults. 11.) When prompted, insert disk 2 and click on OK. 12.) After the installation is complete, you will be asked if you wish to view the readme file now. Click No. 13.) You will then be told that you need to restart the computer for the changes to take affect. Click OK. 14.) Remove the diskette from the floppy drive. Exit Windows and then restart the computer for the changes to take affect. This installation installs a driver in your config.sys file assigns drive letters to your PCMCIA slots. This will cause two things to happen. First, after you restart your computer you will get an error message saying Not ready reading drive D. This is because the Sleep Manager utility you installed earlier, searches all available drives to allocate disk space. When it gets to the D drive, which is your PCMCIA slot, it cannot read anything. To get past the error press the A key to abort. Secondly, your CD-ROM drive will move from drive D to drive F. Since the PCMCIA driver is loading before the CD-ROM drive is assigned a drive letter, the CD-ROM drive gets pushed back. To correct both issues just follow these simple steps: 1.) Exit out of Windows. 2.) Type cd\ and press enter. 3.) Type e config.sys. 4.) Find the line that reads DEVICEHIGH=C:\PCM4\PROGRAM\PCMATA.SYS. Put the cursor in front of that line and type REM and a space in front of the line. It should now read: REM DEVICEHIGH=C:\PCM4\PROGRAM\PCMATA.SYS. 5.) Press the F4 key to save the changes and exit. Note: The PCMATA.SYS driver is for PCMCIA ATA cards. If you are using, or plan on using this type of card, you will need to use this driver.
