  • Page 17: Socket Services

    Socket Services Socket Services This is a BIOS-type interface that provides a way to gain access to the PC Card sockets (slots) of a PC. It identifies how many sockets your PC has and detects the insertion or removal of a PC Card while the PC is switched on. It has an interface to Card Services.

    Card Services, CS20TOK.EXE is supplied. This program is a Card Services Enabler that uses Card and Socket Services to configure the 3C389 PC Card. As with other enablers, you must specify the resources desired for the PC Card, and they must agree with the settings of the token ring device driver for the system to work correctly.
  • Page 20: Autoset Mode

    1: I HAPTER NTRODUCTION For point enablers, you have to specify the slot in which a particular PC Card will be used and you have to specify memory locations, interrupt levels, and other parameters. This is not difficult unless you use several PC Cards at different times, in which case you need to make certain that what you specify does not conflict with any other PC Cards installed in your PC.

    Memory Managers with Card and Socket Services To prevent duplicate use of a memory location, the memory range used by your 3C389 PC Card must be excluded from the memory manager. To do this, you must edit your CONFIG.SYS file. In certain environments, the installation program will add the exclude statement automatically.
  • Page 73 For example, with IBM Card Services the /MA option is used to tell Card Services what memory range it can use for 3C389 PC Cards. It also uses some of this area for itself. That same /MA range must be excluded from the memory manager line.
