Parameters for the ATA Card Device Driver for OS/2 The following are the parameters and their explanations of the ATA card device driver for OS/2 statement in the CONFIG.SYS file: BASEDEV=PCM2ATA.ADD [/S:n] [/P:hhhh] [/EXIRQ:n] [/NOBEEP] [/B] [/STBTIME:n] [/MDRV:n] [/!DM] /S:n /P:hhhh /EXIRQ:n /NOBEEP /B /STBTIME:n /MDRV:n /!DM Specifies the number of PC Card slots. /S:1 shows that there is only one PC Card slot. If this parameter is not set, the number of PC Card slots is set to 2. Specifies the lower limit for the I/O address of the ATA card. The device driver assigns the next usable I/O address from this lower limit to the card. If this parameter is not set, the device driver looks for a usable address and assigns it to the card. Specifies the IRQ level that is not assigned to the card. You can set more than one IRQ level. Specifies not to beep when a storage card is installed. If this parameter is not set, you will hear a beep every time a storage card is installed into the PC Card slot. Specifies that OS/2 has started from an ATA card. If this parameter is set, there will be no redundancy in assigning the logical drive to the slot where OS/2 was booted. It depends on the ATA card whether you can start OS/2 from it. Specifies the time (from 1 to 21 minutes) until entering standby mode. If the ATA card is not accessed for the time specified by this parameter, the ATA card enters standby mode (only when your ATA card supports standby mode). If this parameter is not specified, standby mode for the ATA card is disabled. Specifies the number of extra drives that can be used in addition to the number of PC Card slots available for the PC Card storage devices. If this parameter is not specified, no extra drive is given to the device driver. The extra drives can be activated by the ATA Card Mount utility. Specifies not to use OS2DASD.DMD as the device manager. If this parameter is set, OS2PCARD.DMD is used instead. Storage Card Device Driver ATA cards, SRAM cards, and Flash cards are PCMCIA storage cards. This section describes the device drivers for these storage cards, available in PC Card Director. 64 IBM ThinkPad 380Z Online User's Guide

Parameters for the ATA Card Device Driver for OS/2
The following are the parameters and their explanations of the ATA
card device driver for OS/2 statement in the CONFIG.SYS file:
BASEDEV=PCM2ATA.ADD [/S:n] [/P:hhhh] [/EXIRQ:n]
[/NOBEEP] [/B] [/STBTIME:n] [/MDRV:n] [/!DM]
/S:
n
Specifies the number of PC Card slots.
/S:1
shows that there
is only one PC Card slot.
If this parameter is not set, the
number of PC Card slots is set to 2.
/P:
hhhh
Specifies the lower limit for the I/O address of the ATA card.
The device driver assigns the next usable I/O address from this
lower limit to the card.
If this parameter is not set, the device
driver looks for a usable address and assigns it to the card.
/EXIRQ:
n
Specifies the IRQ level that
is not
assigned to the card.
You
can set more than one IRQ level.
/NOBEEP
Specifies not to beep when a storage card is installed.
If this
parameter is not set, you will hear a beep every time a storage
card is installed into the PC Card slot.
/B
Specifies that OS/2 has started from an ATA card.
If this
parameter is set, there will be no redundancy in assigning the
logical drive to the slot where OS/2 was booted.
It depends on
the ATA card whether you can start OS/2 from it.
/STBTIME:
n
Specifies the time (from 1 to 21 minutes) until entering standby
mode.
If the ATA card is not accessed for the time specified by
this parameter, the ATA card enters standby mode (only when
your ATA card supports standby mode).
If this parameter is not
specified, standby mode for the ATA card is disabled.
/MDRV:
n
Specifies the number of extra drives that can be used in addition
to the number of PC Card slots available for the PC Card
storage devices.
If this parameter is not specified, no extra
drive is given to the device driver.
The extra drives can be
activated by the ATA Card Mount utility.
/!DM
Specifies not to use OS2DASD.DMD as the device manager.
If
this parameter is set, OS2PCARD.DMD is used instead.
Storage Card Device Driver
ATA cards, SRAM cards, and Flash cards are PCMCIA storage
cards.
