Omega Engineering IOP-241 - Manual (Page 10)

2. DOS / Windows 3.x Installation
Two configuration software programs are provided with the IOP-241: a Client Driver and a
card Enabler. Both of these programs are executed from DOS (before entering Windows) and
allow operation of the IOP-241 in both the DOS and Windows 3.x environments. For optimal
operation, the Client Driver is the preferred method of installation and configuration. The
table below highlights the differences between these programs.
Does not require PCMCIA Card and Socket
Services software Requires PCMCIA Card and Socket Services
software
Does not support automatic configuration
of IOP-241 adapters upon insertion
(Hot Swapping) Allows automatic configuration of IOP-241

Interfaces directly to Intel 82365SL and
other PCIC compatible PCMCIA host
adapters Interfaces to PCMCIA Card and Socket
Services software (PCMCIA host adapter
independent)
File type: DOS executable File type: DOS device driver
File name: IOP241EN.EXE File name: IOP241CL.SYS
Enabler Client Driver (recommended)
Table 1-1. Client Driver versus Enabler
If you are unsure whether Card and Socket Services software is currently installed on your
system, install the IOP-241 Client Driver as discussed in following section. When loaded, the
Client Driver will display an error message if Card and Socket Services software is not
detected.
2.1 IOP-241 Client Driver for DOS
In order to use the IOP-241 Client Driver, the system must be configured with Card and
Socket Services software. (Card and Socket Services software is not provided with the
IOP-241).
IMPORTANT:
Some versions of Card and Socket Services dated before
1993 do not support general purpose I/O cards. If after
careful installation of the Client Driver, the IOP-241 does
not configure or operate properly, an updated version of
Card and Socket Services software may be required.
