three-digit hexadecimal value ending in 0.

must be one of the following values: 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, or 0 if no IRQ
is desired.

5.2.1

Tying a configuration to a particular socket

A configuration can be made specific to a socket by appending "=Sx" after the closing

parenthesis, where "X" is the desired socket number.

5.2.2

Auto Fallback configuration

OS/2 Card Services is capable of automatically determining a configuration for a

PCMCIA device, but due to limitations in Quatech's "Syncdrive" driver software, the client
driver does not support this feature. This support is planned for a future release of both the client
driver and Syncdrive.

5.2.3

Hot Swapping

The client driver supports "hot swapping." After installation, it is not necessary for the

MPAP-100 to be inserted in the PCMCIA socket at boot time. When the card is inserted, it will
be configured according to the command line options. When the card is removed, the resources
it used will be made available for other devices.
