Instant EtherFast® Series How to Use the 10/100 PC Card's Enabler for DOS-Based Network Operating Systems The software disk provided with the EtherFast 10/100 PC Card includes generic socket and card services built into the driver that can be used to enable the EtherFast 10/100 PC Card. The card's hardware-specific client enabler will only enable the EtherFast 10/100 PC Card. If you want to use other PCMCIA cards in the future, you will need to obtain additional services for those card(s) before you'll be able to use them. When enabler loads itself into memory, it tries to choose IRQ and I/O base address values for the EtherFast 10/100 PC Card not already in use. Enabler also checks to see if any other service packages are loaded. If there are any services already present in memory, enabler will attempt to load itself without disturbing them. Open up your config.sys file in a text editor. Scroll through the file. Find the line that reads (or is similar to) the following: DEVICE=C:\EMM386.EXE Note: When loading the enabler, it must be saved in the autoexec.dat. It will probably be located near the beginning of the file. You will need to add a command to the end of the EMM386 command in order to reserve an area of memory for the 10/100 PC Card's client enabler to use. Add the following command to the end of the EMM386 line: NOEMS X=D000-D3FF so that the new EMM386 line now looks something like this (it may vary slightly): DEVICE=C:\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D000-D3FF If there are already commands on the EMM386 line, try not to disturb them when you add the NOEMS X=D000-D3FF Note: Plug-and-Play operating systems such as Windows 95, 98, 2000, and Millennium do not require the use of the enabler or memory exclusion. 8 EtherFast® 10/100 PC Cards Network Driver Setup Follow these instructions carefully.
