2. DOS / Windows 3.x Installation
Two configuration software programs are provided with the QSP-100: a Client Driver,
QSP100CL.SYS, and a card Enabler, QSP100EN.EXE. Both of these programs are executed
from DOS (before entering Windows) and allow operation of the QSP-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 QSP-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.
