PCMPLUS Version 2.2x Helpful hints 10 December 1993
1. Insert the original PCMCIA into the A> or B> drive and type
A>INSTALL [Enter]
We recommend that you choose the \PCMPLUS directory and the [Q]uick
installation procedure.
2. Install makes modifications to your CONFIG.SYS file. Listed below
are the minimum CONFIG.SYS fragments for the most popular systems and
most common PCMCIA cards.
NOTE: Although the PCMPlus installation does not put any of the
driver's parameters, we recommend that you add them manually. The
/ADDR=xx lines are examples only; see step 3 below.
------------------
FAX OR MODEM CARDS
------------------
DEVICE=C:\PCMPLUS\PCMSS.EXE
DEVICE=C:\PCMPLUS\PCMCS.EXE /ADDR=C8 /POLL
REM DEVICE=C:\PCMPLUS\PCMRMAN.EXE
DEVICE=C:\PCMPLUS\PCMSCD.EXE
Note: The /ADDR=xx parameter may vary on your system.
The /POLL command is shown as it gives the most reliable results
on most systems.
--------------------------------------------
ATA CARDS (ROTATING MEDIA AND SUNDISK CARDS)
--------------------------------------------
DEVICE=C:\PCMPLUS\PCMSS.EXE
DEVICE=C:\PCMPLUS\PCMCS.EXE /ADDR=CE /POLL
REM DEVICE=C:\PCMPLUS\PCMRMAN.EXE
DEVICE=C:\PCMPLUS\PCMATA.EXE /SRAM /0/1 /ADDR=D0
Note: The /ADDR=xx parameters may vary on your system.
The /POLL command is shown as it gives the most reliable results
on most systems.
-----------------------
FAX/MODEM AND ATA CARDS
-----------------------
DEVICE=C:\PCMPLUS\PCMSS.EXE
DEVICE=C:\PCMPLUS\PCMCS.EXE /ADDR=C8 /POLL
REM DEVICE=C:\PCMPLUS\PCMRMAN.EXE
DEVICE=C:\PCMPLUS\PCMSCD.EXE
DEVICE=C:\PCMPLUS\PCMATA.EXE /SRAM /0/1 /ADDR=D0
Note: The /ADDR=xx parameters may vary on your system.
The /POLL command is shown as it gives the most reliable results
on most systems.
------------------------
INTEL OR AMD FLASH CARDS
------------------------
DEVICE=C:\PCMPLUS\PCMSS.EXE
DEVICE=C:\PCMPLUS\PCMCS.EXE /ADDR=C8 /POLL
REM DEVICE=C:\PCMPLUS\PCMRMAN.EXE
DEVICE=C:\PCMPLUS\PCMFFCS.EXE /BASE=D0 /SIZE=32
DEVICE=C:\DOS\MS-FLASH.SYS
Note: The /ADDR=xx and /BASE=yy parameters may vary on your system.
The /POLL command is shown as it gives the most reliable results
on most systems.
The driver MS-FLASH.SYS is available directly from Microsoft.
3. Available upper memory (the addresses between C800H and DFFFH) are
crucial to succfully using PCMPlus. The addresses shown in the examples
above have the following characteristics:
a. Your system has no RAM at these addresses.
b. Your system has no ROM at these addresses.
c. EMM386 excludes these upper memory addresses. For testing
we recommend you to REMark the line EMM386.SYS in CONFIG.SYS.
Or, excluded enough memory using the X= parameter, for example:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE /X=C800-DFFF
d. You have run a utility, such as Microsoft Diagnostics MSD.EXE,
which shows the memory requested with /ADDR= and /BASE= is
"available." In other words, no RAM, no ROM and no EMM386.
4. The following table shows which drivers are required for which
type of card:

4. The following table shows how much upper memory is required for
each driver:
