4.1 QSP-200/300 Client Driver for DOS

In order to use the QSP-200/300 Client Driver, the system must be configured with Card and
Socket Services software. Card and Socket Services software is not provided with the
QSP-200/300.

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 QSP-200/300 does not
configure or operate properly, an updated version of Card and
Socket Services may be required.

4.1.1 Client Driver Installation
The following procedure is used to install the QSP-200/300 Client Driver:

1. Copy the file QSP200CL.SYS from the QSP-200/300 distribution CD onto the

system's hard drive.

2. Using an ASCII text editor, open the system's CONFIG.SYS file located in the root

directory of the boot drive.

3. Locate the line(s) in the CONFIG.SYS file where the Card and Socket Services

software is installed.

4. AFTER the line(s) installing the Card and Socket Services software, add the

following line to the CONFIG.SYS file:

DEVICE = drive:\path\QSP200CL.SYS

options

where options are the QSP-200/300 Client Driver command line options

discussed on the following pages.

5. Save the CONFIG.SYS file and exit the text editor.

6. Insert the QSP-200/300 into one of the system's PCMCIA slots.

NOTE: Since the QSP-200/300 Client Driver supports "Hot Swapping", it is not
necessary to have the QSP-200/300 installed when booting the system. By inserting
the card before booting, however, the Client Driver will report the adapter
configuration during the boot process thereby verifying the changes made to the
CONFIG.SYS.

7. Reboot the system and note the message displayed when the QSP-200/300 Client

Driver is loaded. If the Client Driver reports an "invalid command line option",
