OS/2 Software Installation

An OS/2 client driver is provided with the MPAP-100. This client driver works with

OS/2's Card and Socket Services to allow operation of the MPAP-100 under OS/2.

5.1

System Requirements

 OS/2 2.1 or later.
 OS/2 PCMCIA Card and Socket Services support must be installed. See

"Installing OS/2 PCMCIA support" below if you do not already have this support
installed.

5.2

OS/2 Client Driver Installation

The MPAP-100 OS/2 client driver requires desired configurations from the user on the

command line. If no desired configurations are provided by the user, the client driver will NOT
ask Card Services to attempt to determine a hardware configuration for the card.

The client driver will attempt to configure an MPAP-100 with the first available

configuration listed from left to right on the command line. Each desired configuration must be
enclosed in parentheses and must be separated from other desired configurations by a space on
the command line. Within each desired configuration, the parameters are separated using
commas (no spaces).

1. Copy the MPAP100.SYS client driver file from the distribution disk to any convenient

directory on the hard disk.

2. Open the CONFIG.SYS file using any ASCII text editor.

3. Add the following line to the CONFIG.SYS file:

DEVICE=drive:\path\MPAP100.SYS (addr,irq,C) ... (addr,irq,C)

where drive:\path specifies the drive letter and directory to which you copied the client

driver file, and (addr,irq,C) ... (addr,irq,C) stand for a variable number of desired
configurations. The configuration parameters are described below.
