1.1 CARD CONFIGURATION
Your PCMCIA Card configuration supports any 16 consecutive I/O Port Address range, and IRQ 3, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12, and 15. These hardware resources are allocated by the Card and Socket Services that comes with your system.
When you insert the PCMCIA CD-ROM Interface card to your system, your PCMCIA CD-ROM Interface Card driver will try to assign a 16 consecutive I/O Port Address range, and an IRQ to the card. You can check the resources assigned to your card using the utility that comes with your Card and Socket Services.
If the resources assigned to your PCMCIA CD-ROM Interface Card conflicts with another peripheral device, your CD-ROM drive will not operate properly. You may need to modify the initialization file using the resource manager utility that comes with your system.
NOTE: You may need to exclude the IRQ or I/O Port address in the initialization file.
If you are experiencing difficulties with your Card Services software, check with your manufacturer on how to configure your Card and Socket Services. 1.2 MEMORY MANAGER
Different Card and Socket Services uses different memory ranges. Your Card and Socket Services software may requires certain memory ranges to be excluded from the memory manager.
If your Card Services software cannot detect your PCMCIA CD-ROM Interface Card, you may have excluded the wrong memory ranges from the memory manager.
If you are experiencing difficulties with detecting the card, try reinstalling your Card and Socket Service software.
