CardWizard Requirements
===========================

The following items are the minimum requirements for CardWizard:

        Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups 3.11
        DOS 5.0 or later
        1 or more PC Card slots
        32KB of DOS memory
        4MB RAM
        2MB of hard drive storage space


===========================
CardWizard Installation
===========================

The CardWizard installation is done through Windows.

Instructions
------------
        Insert the installation disk into a proper disk drive.  For
        example, if drive A: is to be used:

        From the Windows Program Manager:
                choose Run from the file menu.
                type:   a:\setup


CONFIG.SYS Menu Partitions
--------------------------
        If you wish to customize the handling of the CONFIG.SYS
        partitions, it is recommended that you choose Custom
        Installation.  Choosing Custom will allow you greater
        flexibility in how you setup your CONFIG.SYS file.  The
        Express Installation path will follow a pre-defined path as
        described in the next paragraph:

    EXPRESS     The Setup Utility will create a new menu item and menu
                section in the CONFIG.SYS file.  Upon rebooting, you
                will be presented with a new option called "SystemSoft
                CardWizard."  In the case that you are upgrading a
                previous version of SystemSoft's PCMCIA software, the
                older software will be replaced with the newer
                CardWizard version and no new menu item will be
                created.  The Setup Utility will uninstall any other
                vendor's software it encounters.

    CUSTOM      On a Custom Installation, the Setup Utility will
                present you with a screen that displays all of the
                different menus found in the CONFIG.SYS file.  By
                clicking on the "Setup" button, you can inform the
                Setup Utility as to which menu sections you wish to
                install the drivers.  Also, you can specify which
                cards you prefer to support in each menu.


========================================
Notes About Your CardWizard Software
========================================

        This version currently handles one Memory Manager (EMM386.EXE).
        It does not correct for memory conflicts that result from the
        presence of QEMM, 386MAX, or other memory managers.

        CardWizard cannot correct problems for cards that require
        proprietary card services clients.  It can, however, report any
        resource conflicts if the driver is installed properly.  For
        example, if you have a PC Card which has more than one function
        (e.g., both Ethernet and Modem), you will need to load the
        additional driver which is provided with the card after you
        have installed the CardWizard software.  You should refer to
        the documentation which came with this card for information on
        how to install this driver.

        When running the CardWizard application in the minimized view
        format, there are two ways to maximize the window;  you can
        double click on the icon with the mouse button; or you can use
        the <Alt>-<Space> key sequence.  The icon will not maximize by
        using the <Enter> key.


=====================
Flash Support Update
=====================

        With this release of CardWizard, SystemSoft is now supporting
        M-System's TrueFFS for the optional Flash support.  Cards previously
        formatted with SystemSoft's FTL are fully compatible with TrueFFS.
        However, cards previously formatted with SystemSoft's FFS, are not
        compatible.  We recommend that you convert the Flash from FFS to
        TrueFFS through the following steps:

        1.  Remove the TrueFFS drivers and install the FFS drivers in
            CONFIG.SYS

            Comment out:

                device=C:\CARDWIZ\TFFSCS.COM

            Add (after the MTDDRV entry):

                device=C:\CARDWIZ\SSMSFLASH.EXE

        2.  Reboot your system

        3.  Save all data from the Flash card by copying the data to your
            hard drive.

        4.  Remove the FFS support and add the TrueFFS support as follows:

            Remove from CONFIG.SYS:

                device=C:\CARDWIZ\SSMSFLASH.EXE

            Add to CONFIG.SYS (after the MTDDRV.EXE entry):

                device=C:\CARDWIZ\TFFSCS.COM

        5. Reboot your system

        6. Reformat your card using TrueFFS's TFORMAT

        7. Copy the data from your hard drive back to the Flash card

Known Problems, Limitations and Workarounds
-------------------------------------------

Card Services Advanced Power Management Interface (CS_APM.EXE)

        The CardSoft driver, CS_APM.EXE, must be installed to allow
        cards to be handled properly when a machine is suspended or
        resumed.  The CS_APM.EXE must be installed as a terminate and
        stay resident (TSR) driver after the CardSoft drivers in the
        CONFIG.SYS file.  An example of the proper syntax is as
        follows:

                   install=c:\cardwiz\cs_apm.exe

LAN Cards

        Some LAN drivers are required to be loaded after the card is
        inserted in the slot while others require the drivers to be
        loaded first monitoring card insertion.  Refer to the
        documentation which came with your LAN card.

Token Ring Cards

        Token Ring cards typically require a large amount of memory to
        configure and work properly.  For configuration, a Token Ring
        card requires 32K of memory.  By default, CardWizard sets
        aside 32K for card configurations of which card services
        requires 4K for its own use.  Most cards can be configured
        within this 32K limit.

        In order to configure Token Ring adapters, it is necessary to
        allocate additional memory.  Typically, this can be done by
        increasing the memory exclusion range of EMM386.EXE in the
        CONFIG.SYS.

        See the above note on EMM386 exclusions for more information.

        e.g. If default is:

                device=c:\windows\emm386.exe noems X=D000-D7FF

                             < Which sets aside 32K of memory. >
        Change to:

                device=c:\windows\emm386.exe noems X=D000-DFFF

                             < Which sets aside 64K of memory. >

        You must re-boot your machine for the change to take effect
        and during boot-up CardSoft (CSALLOC.EXE) will scan the system
        for the additional resources.

Sony CD-ROM

        If the Sony CD-ROM PCMCIA card is inserted prior to running the
        Sony installation, the card will be recognized as an ATA card.
        To avoid this problem, run the Sony install program that came
        with your CD-ROM device before card insertion.

        If the card has configuration problems it may be necessary to
        edit the file  DS436.INI  in the SONYCD directory and update
        the card settings as follows:

        [PCMCIA Manager]
        size1=16
        base2=0000
        size2=0
        ConfigIdx=0
        Irq=5

        base1=0240
        CDBase=0240
        [DMaster]


Madge Token Ring Card

        Use Madge drivers Release 4.3 or later.


Ositech "Trump Card" Multifunction Adapter

        This card works properly when the following resources are
        allocated:

                Network:  I/O = 300-30F, IRQ = 15, MEM = D000
                Modem:    I/O = 2E8-2EF, IRQ = 3,  MEM = Not Needed


SMC Ethernote Card

        Use driver set which includes the following driver:

                SMC80PC.COM v1.02 (940607)  or later


Xircom Token Ring Card

        The Xircom Token Ring card works properly when inserted in
        the slots on the notebook.  However, the Xircom Token Ring
        card does not work on the docking station.  This is a
        limitation of the drivers provided by Xircom.  Until newer
        drivers are available from Xircom, this card will have to
        be used in the slots on the notebook.  We have tested
        with the following Xircom drivers:

                Network Drivers Disk Version 2.03 (941213)
                Installation and Utilities Disk Version 1.43 (941214)


Lotus123 for DOS

        A problem has been observed running Lotus123 for DOS, version
        3.x following the installation of CardWizard.  CardWizard sets
        the NOEMS option in the EMM386.EXE line of CONFIG.SYS, primarily
        to make available additional memory which might otherwise be
        taken up by a 64K EMS memory page which most applications do
        not require.  To correct this problem edit CONFIG.SYS and remove
        the NOEMS option from the EMM386.EXE line, replacing it with the
        value 4096 if it is not already present; then reboot the system.
        Do not change any other options.

        Example EMM386 line:

                DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE 4096 X=D800-DFFF

Megahertz LAN/Modem Combo

        Megahertz LAN/Modem combo cards require a proprietary driver,
        ENABLE.EXE.  This driver attempts to setup the card using values
        found in the (Megahertz) file ENABLE.INI. For CardWizard to
        successfully install the card, the settings in CardWizard's
        CARDID.INI must parallel those in ENABLE.INI.  To guarantee a
        successful installation, print ENABLE.INI and edit CARDID.INI
        in the CardWizard directory. The following fields should be
        verified and updated:

                ComBDAAbsolute=Yes

                ComPort1=3F8
                ComPort2=3E8
                ComPort3=2F8
                ComPort4=2E8

                ComIRQn= <use values from ENABLE.INI COMIRQ setting>

                FirstModem= <use port# from ENABLE.INI ModemPort setting>
                SecondModem= <for 2nd thru 4th, ensure uniqueness>

        NOTE: You must select 4 slots in the Megahertz SETUP program.
