The SSP-100 Enabler does not support automatic configuration of adapters upon insertion, more
commonly referred to as "Hot Swapping". This means the adapter must be installed in one of the
system's PCMCIA sockets before executing SSP130EN.EXE. If more than one adapter is
installed in a system, the Enabler must be executed separately for each adapter. Furthermore,
SSP130EN.EXE should be executed to release the resources used by the adapter before it is
removed from the PCMCIA socket. Since PCMCIA adapters do not retain their configuration
after removal, any adapter that is removed from the system must be reconfigured with the
Enabler after re-inserting it into a PCMCIA socket.
IMPORTANT:
The Enabler requires a region of high DOS memory when configuring
a SSP-100. This region is 1000H bytes (4KB) long and by default
begins at address D0000H (the default address may be changed using
the "W" option). If a memory manager such as EMM386, QEMM, or
386Max is installed on the system, this region of DOS memory must
be excluded from the memory manager's control.
documentation provided with the memory manager software for
instructions on how to exclude this memory region.

2.2.1 Command Line Options

To configure a SSP-100 in the system, the Enabler requires one command line argument from the
user to determine the configuration of the card. This argument must be enclosed in parenthesis
and within the argument, any or all of the following parameters may be specified using a comma
(no spaces) to separate each parameter:
Ssocket
specifies which PCMCIA socket the SSP-100 must be inserted into for this
configuration argument to be used. socket must be in the range 0 - 15. This option is
required if the 'R' option is not used.
Baddress
specifies the base I/O address of the SSP-100 in hexadecimal. This address must
reside on an even 8-byte boundary. This option is required if the 'R' option is not
used.
Iirq
specifies the interrupt level (IRQ) of the SSP-100 in decimal. irq must be one of the
following values: 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, or 0 if no IRQ is desired. This
option is required if the 'R' option is not used.
