PC-SIO or to the PCMCIA slot. After the card has been installed into the PCMCIA slot, the I/O cable should be connected to the card. The cable is keyed to prevent it from being installed incorrectly. Sealevel Systems PC-SIO Page 3...
If no requirements are mentioned, a safe configuration is to tie DTR to DSR and DCD, and tie RTS to CTS. This configuration will typically satisfy the modem control signal requirements for most communications software. Sealevel Systems PC-SIO Page 4...

3600/3601 25 mA Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) Greater than 150,000 hours. (Calculated) Physical Dimensions The PC-SIO conforms to the physical dimensions for all PCMCIA Type 2 cards as defined in the PCMCIA specification 2.0. Sealevel Systems PC-SIO Page 6...
No two adapters can occupy the same I/O address. 4. Make sure the Sealevel Systems adapter is using a unique IRQ. Refer to the section on Card Setup for help in choosing an I/O address and IRQ.
Page 12
Possible Cause: Card Services flags certain I/O addresses and Interrupts as used and will not allow other Client Enabler Driver, like SEAPC to use them. Solution: Select a different I/O address and IRQ in the SeaPC setup file. ____________________________________________________________ Sealevel Systems PC-SIO Page 8...
