1-4 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION Point Enablers Windows NT currently uses a point enabler called PCMCIA.SYS, which currently ships with Windows NT. OS/2 requires Card Services. Point enablers are small programs that provide an interface directly to the PC Card controller; therefore, they must be written to support a particular type of controller. For the 3C389 PC Card, there are point enablers for the Intel chip (most PCs) and for the chip installed in the Toshiba 3300SL. In the DOS environmen

Socket Services 1-5 When configuring two or more PC Cards, you must allocate memory and interrupt resources manually. Socket Services This is a BIOS-type interface that provides a way to gain access to the PC Card sockets (slots) of a PC. It identifies how many sockets your PC has and detects the insertion or removal of a PC Card while the PC is switched on. It has an interface to Card Services. Socket Services is part of the PCMCIA Specification. The Socket Services device driver is usually

1-6 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION If the installation program detects Card and Socket Services in your PC, it will default to Autoset mode. Autoset mode allows your LAN driver to negotiate with Card Services for memory space and interrupts. This helps to prevent conflicts with other PC Cards that are installed in your PC; however, you will not know exactly what memory addresses and interrupts have been given to you. Card Services requires Socket Services. The Card Services interface is usually

Super Client Drivers 1-7 Super Client Drivers Many notebook PC vendors are providing customers with super client drivers that can enable many different PC Cards. PC-DOS 6.1 includes one called PCMSCD.EXE, for example. They are best used for modems and other PC Cards that do not have a Card Services client driver of their own. If you use a super client driver, try to disable support for the PC Card and use the 3Com client driver. 3Com drivers have been written to take advantage of Card Ser

1-8 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION For point enablers, you have to specify the slot in which a particular PC Card will be used and you have to specify memory locations, interrupt levels, and other parameters. This is not difficult unless you use several PC Cards at different times, in which case you need to make certain that what you specify does not conflict with any other PC Cards installed in your PC. Autoset Mode Card and Socket Services turns out to be most helpful when you have a number of P
