PC Card Manager

The PC Card Manager handles software issues related to PC Cards.
  • If a PC Card was ejected during sleep (using the pin hole method) and replaced with a different card, the new card would not be recognized after sleep and the old card icon would remain on the desktop. The PC Card Manager now registers the new card correctly when a card is replaced in this way.

  • The PC Card Manager has been changed to accommodate PC Cards that do not contain a CIS (Card Information Structure -- information normally stored on a card which describes the card). Prior to this change, such a card would simply be ejected. Now, the PC Card Manager uses other data, such as the PCI configuration registers, to establish information about such cards.
