2. DOS / Windows 3.x Installation
Two configuration software programs are provided with the DSP-100: a Client Driver,
DSP100CL.SYS, and a card Enabler, DSP100EN.EXE. Both of these programs are
executed from DOS (before entering Windows) and allow operation of the DSP-100 in
both the DOS and Windows 3.x environments. For optimal operation, however, the
Client Driver is the preferred method of installation and configuration. The table below
highlights the differences between these programs.

Card and Socket Services software is commercially available from several vendors for
most desktop and laptop PCs. If you are unsure whether Card and Socket Services
software is currently installed on your system, install the DSP-100 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.
