Solving Resource Problems:
I/O addresses, memory addresses, interrupts, and DMAs are considered system
resources. PCMCIA system software has the ability to detect available system
resources and authority to assign resources. All PCMCIA aware software must go
through that manager to request/assign I/O ports and interrupts. Using this scheme can
avoid system conflict and minimize system compatibility issues.
All DOS drivers included in the retail disk are PCMCIA-aware software drivers. The
drivers will automatically interface with PCMCIA system software to request system
resources for the devices they are controlling.
Sometimes, the PCMCIA system software resource detection is not 100% accurate due
to operator error or peripheral compatibility problems. Resources assigned to us may
belong to someone else, thus it may not work properly. Next we will try to force the driver
to request certain I/O ports or interrupts.
➔ Move interrupt request to somewhere else
G Change the line in CONFIG.SYS to
DEVICE=C:\COMMUTER\PATAPICD.SYS /I:12 (or 11,10, 9)
➔ Move I/O port base address to 170h
G Change the line in CONFIG.SYS to
DEVICE=C:\COMMUTER\PATAPICD.SYS /P:170
Operation:
Disk caching software
If the disk caching program is loaded as a device driver, just make sure the Commuter
Disk device driver command line
DEVICE=\COMMUTER\CDISK.SYS
This line must appear in CONFIG.SYS before any other disk caching program
command. Nothing has to be changed for a TSR disk caching program (like
SMARTDRV.EXE).
S
pecial Note: Starting with DOS 6.0, SMARTDRV.EXE is capable of caching CD-ROM
drives. Please make sure the MSCDEX.EXE appears before SMARTDRV.EXE in the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file in order to take advantage of this new feature.
