2.2 SPP-100 Enabler for DOS
For systems that are not operating PCMCIA Card and Socket Services
software, the SPP-100 DOS Enabler may be used to enable and configure
the adapter. This Enabler, SPP100EN.EXE, will operate on any DOS
system using an Intel 82365SL or PCIC compatible PCMCIA host adapter
including the Cirrus Logic CL-PD6710 / 6720, the VLSI VL82C146, and
the Vadem VG-365 among others.
IMPORTANT:
In order to use the SPP-100 Enabler for DOS, the system
MUST NOT be configured with Card and Socket Services
software. If a Card and Socket Services software is installed,
the SPP-100 Enabler may interfere with its operation and
with the device(s) it controls.
The SPP-100 Enabler does not support automatic configuration of
adapters upon insertion, more commonly referred to as "Hot Swapping".
This means the adapter must be installed in one of the system's PCMCIA
sockets before executing SPP100EN.EXE. If more than one adapter is
installed in a system, the Enabler must be executed separately for each
adapter. Furthermore, SPP100EN.EXE should be executed to release the
resources used by the adapter before it is removed from the PCMCIA
socket. Since PCMCIA adapters do not retain their configuration after
removal, any adapter that is removed from the system must be
reconfigured with the Enabler after re-inserting it into a PCMCIA socket.
IMPORTANT:
The Enabler requires a region of high DOS memory when
configuring a SPP-100. This region is 1000H bytes (4KB) long
and by default begins at address D0000H (the default address
may be changed using the "W" option). If a memory manager
such as EMM386, QEMM, or 386Max is installed on the system,
this region of DOS memory must be excluded from the memory
manager's control. Consult the documentation provided with
the memory manager software for instructions on how to
exclude this memory region.
