Dos / Windows 3.X Installation - Quatech QSP-200/300 User Manual

4 DOS / Windows 3.x Installation

Two configuration software programs are provided with the QSP-200/300: a Client Driver,
QSP200CL.SYS, and a card Enabler, QSP200EN.EXE. Both of these programs are executed
from DOS (before entering Windows) and allow operation of the QSP-200/300 in both the DOS
and Windows 3.x environments. For optimal operation, however, the Client Driver is the
preferred method of installation and configuration. The table below highlights the differences
between these programs.
Client Driver
File name: QSP200CL.SYS
File type: DOS device driver
Interfaces to PCMCIA Card and Socket
Services software (PCMCIA host adapter

Services software
Figure 2. Client Driver versus Enabler for DOS/Windows 3.x.
Card and Socket Services software is commercially available from several vendors for most
desktop and laptop PCs. If you are unsure whether Card and Socket Services software is
currently installed on your system, install the QSP-200/300 Client Driver as discussed in
following section. When loaded, the Client Driver will display an error message if Card and
Socket Services software is not detected.
