where

drive:\path

specifies the directory containing the file

EXPGAME.EXE.

/P

is used to set the I/O port. The only valid number is 200.

If your computer has been loaded with ExCA compliant PCMCIA
software, then you are allowed to hot insert/remove the Game Card,
which means you can connect or remove the PCMCIA Game card at any
the time without rebooting your system. If your system doesn’t have this
software, each time you remove the card and insert it again, you need to
type

E X P G A M E . E X E / P 2 0 0

at DOS prompt to re-enable the PCMCIA

Game card.
