CARDINFO.TXT
Rev. 17. August 1993

This document contains information about PCMCIA cards and how to
setup CardWare for using these cards.

The cards are grouped by functions:

                    A. Fax/Modem Cards
                    B. LAN Cards
                    C. ATA Harddisk Cards

Within the Groups the cards are sorted by Manufacturer in
alphabetical order.
For each card the Devices you can use are listed.
Please setup the needed Devices as listed in the 'Devices' section
at the end of this document. You can name the devices different if 
you have already devices with the same name.
Please ensure that you have the resources available. If you have to 
edit the [Resource] section of the CARDWARE.INI file consult the
CWINI.TXT file for information.
Also keep in mind that CardWare is using the first 4KByte segment of
the available memory for internal use. For example if you want to
allocate a memory range with the base of D000H to a device your
CARDWARE.INI should include the following lines:

[Resources]
MEM=0xCF000,0x1000,E            ;  4KByte for internal use by CardWare
MEM=0xD0000,0x10000,E           ; 64KByte for use by Devices.  


=====================================================================
A. Fax/Modem Cards
=====================================================================

1. Hotline 960 CC Fax/Modem HL9672CC
   Remark:  It is not possible to reconfigure this modem by using
            the 'Reconfigure' option of PC Card for Windows.
            The reason for this is, that the CIS information is not
            available after the modem is once initialized.
            To reconfigure this card you have to cycle it (remove the
            card from the slot and insert it again).

2. Intel Modem 2400+
   Remark:  It is not possible to reconfigure this modem by using
            the 'Reconfigure' option of PC Card for Windows.
            The reason for this is, that the CIS information is not
            available after the modem is once initialized.
            To reconfigure this card you have to cycle it (remove the
            card from the slot and insert it again).


3. PSION Dacom Advanced PCMCIA Modem
   Remark: Because of an improper CIS, it is only possible to setup this
           modem as COM4.

4. Toshiba Information Systems UK Ltd  Advanced PCMCIA Modem
   Remark: Because of an improper CIS, it is only possible to setup this
           modem as COM4. 



=====================================================================
B. LAN Cards
=====================================================================

1. D-LINK DE-650
   Devices: D-Link

2. IBM TokenRing Card
   Devices: ?
   Remark:  This cards needs a memory window of 76KB. The requested I/O
            address of 0xA20 is masked to 0x220-0x227

3. IBM Ethernet Card
   Devices: IBM-Ethernet
   Remark:  Because of an error in the CIS information, this card is
            recognized as a Memory card when it is inserted for the 
            first time. 
            For registration of the card follow this guideline:
               1. Disable PCDISK in your CONFIG.SYS by placing a 'REM'
                  in front of the DEVICE=C:\CARDWARE\PCDISK.EXE line.
                  Please check the User Manual for further information.
               2. Reboot your computer and makle sure PCDISK is not
                  loaded.
               3. Start WINDOWS.
               4. Start PC Card for Windows.
               5. Insert the IBM Ethernet card.
               6. Register and configure the card as described in the 
                  User Manual.
               7. Exit WINDOWS.
               8. Reanable PCDISK in the CONFIG.SYS.
               9. Reboot your computer and makle sure PCDISK is loaded.
              10. Your card shuld now be recognized as the IBM Ethernet card.
                  You can check this by starting DOSCARD at the DOS prompt. 
                
            The card's CIS reports that it needs only 16 KByte of Memory, but you have
            to setup a memory range of 32KByte to let the card work properly (with the
            additional 16KByte of memory located before the required window).   
            
  
4. Socket Communication EA PCMCIA LAN
   Devices: Socket Ethernet
   Remark:  You can modify the device to use I/O adress 0x300.
            The Socket card is only supported in the I/O mapped mode.

5. XIRCOM CE-10BT Creditcard Ethernet Adapter
   Devices: XIRCOM Ethernet
   Remark:  The Xircom drivers CEODI.COM and PCEODI.COM are currently 
            reconfiguring the PCMCIA controller directly, so that the 
            controller will not be able to issue an interrupt for card
            removal and insertion. This will prevent CardWare from
            working after these drivers are loaded.

=====================================================================
C. ATA Harddisk Cards
=====================================================================

1. Integral
   Remark:  Some older models of this card are not PCMCIA compliant
            because of an error in the CIS information.
            (Tuple 0x20 CISTPL_MANFID should have a length of at least
            4 bytes and is only 2 bytes long).
            So if your card is not working, please consult the 
            card manufacturer for an update of the CIS.
            AWARD/VMI is working closely together with the card
            manufacturer to fix the problem for new cards. 

2. Maxtor MXL-105-III
   Remark:  Some older models of this card are not PCMCIA compliant
            because of an error in the CIS information.
            So if your card is not working, please consult the 
            card manufacturer for an update of the CIS.
            AWARD/VMI is working closely together with the card
            manufacturer to fix the problem for new cards. 

3. Western Digital ATA CU-140
   Remark:  This card is not PCMCIA compliant because it has no
            CIS information and no Configuration-Option-Register'.
            So there is no way for CardWare to support this card.
            AWARD/VMI is working closely together with the card
            manufacturer to fix the problem for new cards.
