Chapter 2: DOS / Windows 3.x Installation
Two configuration software programs are provided with the
232PCC2: a Client Driver, DSP100CL.SYS, and a card Enabler,
DSP100EN.EXE. Both of these programs are executed from DOS
(before entering Windows) and allow operation of the 232PCC2 in
both the DOS and Windows 3.x environments. For optimal
operation, however, the Client Driver is the preferred method of
installation and configuration. The table below highlights the
differences between these programs.
Table 1. Client Driver vs. Enabler for DOS/Windows 3.x.
Card and Socket Services software is commercially available
from several vendors for most desktop and laptop PCs. If you are
unsure whether Card and Socket Services software is currently
installed on your system, install the 232PCC2 Client Driver as
discussed in following section. When loaded, the Client Driver will
display an error message if Card and Socket Services software is
not detected.
