Chapter 7 Client Driver Installation
System Requirements
Hardware Requirements
Notebook equipped with Type II CardBus slot and CardBus Socket controller.
Firmware Requirements
Fully complies with Rev. 2.1 or above PCI BIOS supplied with the PC.
Software Requirements
Due to the newness of the CardBus specification, most Card and Socket Services soft-
ware still do not currently support CardBus devices. The Card & Socket Service drivers
should comply with PC Card Standard, February 1995 or later version. For your reference,
the following DOS versions of the Card and Socket Services are known to support
CardBus:
¥ AMICard Manager Pro Ver 2.1.2 (supports CL-PD6832, TI113X)
¥ Phoenix Card Manager Ver 2.0 (supports TI113X)
Driver Installation Brief Overview
The INSTALL Program
Before your computer system can recognize your Macsense Fast Ethernet CardBus
Card, the driver programs must first be installed to enable the card.
This section gives a brief overview of the installation process.( For a clearer step-by-
step procedure, refer to the next section.)
1. If the Card and Socket Services software is included as part of your computer, it is
recommended that you use this software when installing your Macsense Fast
Ethernet CardBus Card. A system with Card and Socket Services installed allows
the PCMCIA card to be automatically configured. While the system is on, available
system resources and insertion or removal of the card will automatically be detect-
ed.
2. Run the INSTALL batch file locate on your Installation Disk (like InstNwCl.bat etc.).
3. IF you have not installed Card and Socket Services or your card does not work with
current version of Card and Socket Services, use the direct enabler,
STARTER.EXE , to enable the CardBus controller. The direct enabler communicates
directly with the CardBus controller on your system. Most popular controllers are
supported. To run the direct enabler, type
STARTER at the DOS prompt or include it
as a line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
