Series
The software disk provided with the EtherFast 10/100 PC Card includes generic
socket and card services built into the driver that can be used to enable the EtherFast
10/100 PC Card. The card's hardware-specific client enabler will only enable the
EtherFast 10/100 PC Card. If you want to use other PCMCIA cards in the future,
you will need to obtain additional services for those card(s) before you'll be able to
use them.
When enabler loads itself into memory, it tries to choose IRQ and I/O base
address values for the EtherFast 10/100 PC Card not already in use.
Enabler also checks to see if any other service packages are loaded. If there are
any services already present in memory, enabler will attempt to load itself
without disturbing them.
Open up your config.sys file in a text editor. Scroll through the file. Find the
line that reads (or is similar to) the following:
DEVICE=C:\EMM386.EXE
It will probably be located near the beginning of the file. You will need to add
a command to the end of the EMM386 command in order to reserve an area of
memory for the 10/100 PC Card's client enabler to use.
Add the following command to the end of the EMM386 line:
NOEMS X=D000-D3FF
so that the new EMM386 line now looks something like this (it may vary
slightly):
DEVICE=C:\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D000-D3FF
If there are already commands on the EMM386 line, try not to disturb them
when you add the NOEMS X=D000-D3FF

: Plug-and-Play operating systems such as
Windows 95, 98, 2000, and Millennium do not
require the use of the enabler or memory exclu-
sion.

be saved in the autoexec.dat .
