Special Features

Card and Socket Services
The Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA)
has developed specifications governing the use of PC Cards (formerly
PCMCIA cards) in personal computer systems. The software components
that implement these specifications are called Card and Socket Services.
This software supports the ability of PC Card-aware device drivers (known
as clients) to share cards, sockets, and system resources.
The PCMCIA has recently developed specifications for a new generation of
32-bit PC Cards, called CardBus. Since CardBus is new, support for
CardBus has not yet been implemented in Card and Socket Services,
although development is underway. To use Card and Socket Services with
the PRO/100 CardBus adapter, the Card and Socket Services must support
CardBus.
At press time, Intel had tested the following Card and Socket Services with
the PRO/100 adapter:
Product/Operating System
CardWizard v. 5.3/DOS/Windows 3.x
Phoenix Card Manager 95 v. 4.0
Intel is also working with the following vendors and products to ensure
compatibility as they become available:
CardWare v. 5.0/Windows NT
CardWorks v. 5.3/Windows 95 (OSR2)
CardWizard v. 3.0/Windows NT
Card Executive/Windows NT
