3.3 MPAP-100 Enabler for DOS
For systems that are not using PCMCIA Card and Socket Services software, the
MPAP-100 DOS enabler may be used to enable and configure the card. The enabler will operate
on any DOS system using an Intel 82365SL (PCIC) or PCIC-compatible PCMCIA socket adapter
including the Cirrus Logic CL-PD6710/6720, the VLSI VL82C146, and the Vadem VG-365
among others.
IMPORTANT
The enabler can be used ONLY if Card and Socket
Services is NOT installed on the system!
3.3.1 DOS Enabler Installation
To install the DOS enabler program, copy the file MPAP1EN.EXE from the MPAP-100
distribution diskette onto the system's hard drive. No setup steps are required.
IMPORTANT
The enabler requires a region of high DOS memory when configuring
an MPAP-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.
3.3.2 Hot Swapping is not supported
The MPAP-100 enabler does not support automatic configuration of adapters upon
insertion, commonly referred to as "Hot Swapping". The enabler must be executed after
insertion of an MPAP-100 card. If more than one MPAP-100 is installed in a system, the enabler
must be executed separately for each card. A card that is removed and reinserted must be
reconfigured by executing the enabler again.
