DOS / Windows 3.x Software Installation

Two DOS configuration software programs are provided with the MPAP-100: a client

driver and a card enabler. These programs are executed from DOS (before entering Windows)
and allow operation of the MPAP-100 in both the DOS and Windows 3.x environments. Table 1
highlights the differences between these programs.

Use if Card and

Socket Services

software is not

available and the

system has an Intel

82365 or compatible

socket controller.

IMPORTANT

Do not use both the client driver and the enabler!

If you are unsure whether Card and Socket Services software is currently installed on

your system, install the client driver. When loaded, the client driver will display an error
message if Card and Socket Services software is not detected. If you receive such an error
message, remove the client driver software and install the enabler instead.
