Appendix A. PCMCIA Driver Software
Notes
These notes are intended as a supplement to the documentation shipped with your
PCMCIA drivers. For notes about running MemMaker or other automatic memory
optimizers, read the MS DOS manual and also the section at the end of this document,
entitled ‘Using MemMaker’.
A.1 General
The software is designed to work with the PCMCIA drivers: Card Services 2.1,
which in turn requires socket services 2.1. Memory Technology Drivers are
not required nor is any other special software. Any drivers which fully comply
with this standard should work successfully with SMCRead, whether or not it
has been tested with them.
The various vendors have different ways of expressing the specification
number (2.1) and their own version number. Phoenix Card Services calls its
driver ‘Release 2.1 version 1.00’, yet Ventura Card Services calls its driver
‘2.1 Release 1.01’. However the various drivers are described, they must be
compliant with the PCMCIA Specification 2.10.
If your drivers are prior to version 2.1 you must upgrade them. Card Services
2.1 drivers are incompatible with Card Services 2.0 and so any programs
written for 2.0 will not work on 2.1. Please contact the supplier of the original
PCMCIA drivers for an update, not Campbell Scientific Ltd.
Details of the tested software and specific set-up information follows. Please
note that:
amendments to your CONFIG.SYS file or to the configuration of card services
will only take effect after the machine is rebooted.
the names given for Socket Services (normally including SS in the driver
name) may vary with the hardware of your machine, as there are different
drivers to match the specific low-level hardware.
A.2 Loading the Drivers
A.2.1 General
If your system drivers are set up correctly you should have no problems
running SMCRead. If SMCRead fails with a ‘due to lack of resources’
message (the actual wording of the message will vary depending upon the
driver in use) then the following notes will explain how to adjust your set-up.
Specific notes are provided for users with either SystemSoft, Ventura, or
Phoenix drivers.
