Card Information Structure
When you insert a PC Card into a slot, the computer attempts to
determine the type of card and the resources it requires by reading
its Card Information Structure (CIS). Sometimes the CIS contains
enough information for you to use the card immediately. Other
cards must be configured before you can use them.
Use the Windows 95 PC Card (PCMCIA) Wizard to set up the
card. See "Setting Up Your PC Card for Your Computer" on
page 163 for information about the PC Card Wizard.
Some card manufacturers use special software called enablers to
support their cards. Enablers result in nonstandard configurations
that can cause problems when installing another PC Card.
If Windows 95 doesn't have built-in drivers for your PC Card and
the card didn't come with a Windows 95 driver, it may not work
under Windows 95. Contact the manufacturer of the PC Card for
information about operating the card under Windows 95.
PC Card Checklist
Make sure the card is inserted properly into the slot.
Refer to "Inserting PC Cards" on page 161 for how to insert
PC Cards.
Make sure all cables are securely connected.
Make sure the computer has only one version of Card and
Socket Services loaded.
Occasionally a defective PC Card slips through quality control.
If another PCMCIA-equipped computer is available, try the
card in that machine. If the card malfunctions again, it may be
defective.
