PCMCIA Controller Notes:


"Stinger" -- Microchannel
Ricoh RF5C266 -- 1 Slot Controller
Rev. A can't use C0000 or D0000
Rev. B no restriction
Rev. C no restrictions (current Rev.)
Ricoh RF5C366 -- 2 Slot Controller
Rev. A can't use C0000 or D0000
Rev. B no restrictions
Rev. C no restrictions (current Rev.)
Ricoh RF5C366L -- Low Profile version of RF5C366
same chip as Rf5C366 Rev. C

For Windows 95
Under the Pcmcia Socket in Device Manager you should see:

365X/XD,560,760,SAD1,SAD2

"PCIC or Compatible PCMCIA Controller on IBM System"

340,355,360,365C/E,750,755,Dock2,Port Rep1

"PCIC or Compatible PCMCIA Controller"

701

"Cirrus Logic PCIC Compatible PCMCIA Controller"


While Docked on a Dock2 or Port Replicator you can tell the two controllers apart in Windows 95. You look to the PCMCIA Sockets in Device Manager. There should be two. Look at the resource Tab of each. The Thinkpad PCMCIA Controller always uses I/O address of 03E0-03E1. The Dock2, SAD1, SAD2, and the Port Rep1 use I/O address of 03E2-03E3. No IRQ's are used in Win95 for either set of slots
