Essentially, it contains clipped portions of the IBM PC Card Director Software for OS/2 Warp supporting IBM ThinkPads Installation Package README, dated November 9, 2004. ** Miles - Yes, that's the model I've seen before (from afar). I'm not currently up on my PCMCIA tweaking, so perhaps someone here could shed some light on what you might try to get socket services to recognize the card, but here are some basic things: 1. First, as this is going into a desktop, make sure that you do indeed have PCMCIA.SYS loading in CONFIG.SYS. I would start with the CardBUS 8 driver kit available on the eCS download pages (assuming you have a current support agreement). The file is named cardbus.exe, and was last modified November 20, 2004. 2. Look at the adapter board itself to try to determine the chipset (Intel, TI, Ricoh, Cirrus Logic, etc.). 3. Have a quick look at http://www.os2world.com/goran/cfgtool/cfgdat03.htm for a rundown of some of the PCMCIA-related drivers. 4. Remember that your *FIRST* PCMCIA driver is *always* PCMCIA.SYS (Card Services), and your *LAST* one is *always* $ICPMOS2.SYS (power management). Here are a couple of snippets from the CardBUS 8 (8 refers to the level of the PCMCIA standard; in this case, 8.0 is the level which supports CardBUS - 32-bit - cards) kit (cardbus.exe) readme: 4.0 Parameter Definitions --------------------- 4.1 Socket Services (IBM2SS14.SYS) /IG0=y : This parameter defines a slot number that will be ignored by Socket Services. If you use the "Point enabler" supplied with the PC Card, you should take into consideration the coexistence with Socket Services. For Example, "/IG0=1" defines that slot 1 is reserved for a "Point enabler" and Socket Services will ignore the slot. For additional information see section 5.0. /V : This parameter allows the driver to show the information about PC Card adapter and sockets found on system and Driver Information during startup. /W : This parameter allows the driver to show the information about PC Card adapter and sockets found on system and Driver Information during startup. After displaing information driver waits for user response to continue loading. 4.2 Card Services (PCMCIA.SYS) /IH : Ignore handle parameter. This parameter forces driver to do not check the Handle passed from Client Driver. This parameter is required for some client drivers. For additional information see section 6.0 /V : This parameter allows the driver to show the information about version and build date during startup. /W : This parameter allows the driver to show the information about version and build date during startup. After displaing information driver waits for user response to continue loading. 4.3 Power Management for PC Card ($ICPMOS2.SYS) /C0 : Allows suspend when the communication PC Card (Modem,LAN) is inserted if the Battery Status is High. /C1 : Allows suspend when the communication PC Card (Modem,LAN) is inserted if the Battery Status is Low. /C2 : Allows suspend when the communication PC Card (Modem,LAN) is inserted if the Battery Status is Critical. If '/Cx' parameter is not specified the default is '/C2' setting. 6.5 Avoiding PC Card Resource Conflicts - PC Card Director checks the resources for most devices used by the system to avoid resource conflicts, but it does not recognize all option devices used. Especially if you are using the docking station, there is a possibility that the I/O port address or IRQ level might conflict with the PC Card. Check the status of the PC Card by using PC Card Director. When the PC Card is set to "Ready," the resources used for that PC Card are displayed. Refer to the manuals supplied with the system or option adapters to check that the resources for the devices in the system or for the option adapters do not conflict with the resources for the IRQ level, I/O port address, or memory window of the PC Card. If you are using OS/2 Warp Version 3 or later versions , you can check the assigned system resources using RMVIEW.EXE. - If there is a conflict: 1) Use RESERVE.SYS to register those resources in OS/2. To set RESERVE.SYS, refer to the manuals or online help for OS/2 Warp, or refer to the READ.ME file of PC Card Director. 2) If you are using Auto Configurator, change the enabling order or resource information using the Auto Configurator Utility. 3) If you are using network cards, change the resource information for the PC Card stated in the PROTOCOL.INI, NET.CFG file or using MPTS utility. To change the configuration file for the network cards, refer to the manuals or READ.ME files of the PC Cards or network drivers. 7.0 Files ----- README.TXT : This file PCMINST2.EXE : Installation program for OS/2 PCMINST2.DAT : Installation program for OS/2, data file PCMCIA.CRD : PC Card Support List EZPLAY2.DLL : IBM PC Card Director Installation Program Utility for OS/2 EZPLAY2.HLP : IBM PC Card Director Installation Program Utility for OS/2, help file PCMCIA.SYS : Card Services driver for OS/2 VPCMCIA.SYS : Virtual Card Services driver for OS/2 $ICPMOS2.SYS : PCMCIA Power Management Support driver for OS/2 PAWFLDR.ICO : IBM PC Card Director Installation Program Folder ICON file LOGO_1.ICO : PC Card Logo IBM2SS14.SYS : Socket Services driver for IBM ThinkPad AUTODRV2.SYS : Auto Configurator for OS/2 AUTODRV2.SCR : Auto Configurator for OS/2, script file AUTOUTL2.EXE : Auto Configurator Utility for OS/2 AUTODRV2.SEL : Auto Configurator Utility for OS/2, data file AUTOUTL2.HLP : Auto Configurator Utility for OS/2, help file AUTODRV.DOC : Auto Configurator READ.ME file *.SCR : Auto Configurator sample script files ATAMNT2.EXE : ATA Mount Utility for OS/2 ATAMNT2.HLP : ATA Mount Utility for OS/2, help file OS2PCARD.DMD : Storage Driver for OS/2 PCM2ATA.ADD : Storage Driver for OS/2 (ATA) PCMSSDIF.SYS : Storage Driver for OS/2 (Interface) PCM2SRAM.SYS : Storage Driver for OS/2 (SRAM) FLSH2MTD.SYS : Storage Driver for OS/2 (FLASH MTD) PCM2FLSH.SYS : Storage Driver for OS/2 (FLASH) FCHECK2.EXE : FLASH PC Card Low-Level check program for OS/2 FFORMAT2.EXE : FLASH PC Card Low-Level format program for OS/2 AHA152X.ADD : Adaptec SCSI PCCard for OS/2 FD16-700.ADD : Future Domain SCSI PCCard for OS/2 TDKENAB.OS2 : TDK CardBus NetFlyer NDIS Driver TDKFLYR.OS2 : TDK CardBus NetFlyer Client Driver PROTOCOL.INI : Protocol file for TDK Netflyer CardBus Card *.SYM : Device Driver Symbol Files Hope this helps. You'll probably also need to scrounge around for the Cisco documentation, but you should be able to come up with that from their TACS (support) site. That information may prove useful for any RESERVE.SYS tweaking you may need to accomplish. Good luck.
