===========================
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


Typical System File Modifications
---------------------------------
    Typical system file modifications are shown below:
    Note that Socket Services driver (SSxxx.sys) may differ for
    your computer.

    CONFIG.SYS
    ----------
    device=c:\windows\emm386.exe noems X=D000-D7FF
    device=c:\cardwiz\cardxtnd.sys
    device=c:\cardwiz\sscbti.sys /NUMADA:1 /ADA1SKTS:2
    device=c:\cardwiz\cs.sys /POLL:1
    device=c:\cardwiz\csalloc.exe
    device=c:\cardwiz\cardid.sys
    install=c:\cardwiz\cs_apm.exe

    SYSTEM.INI
    ----------
    [386Enh]  {This is the only section changed}
    EmmExclude=D000-D7FF
    ;device=*vcd     {This line is remarked, or commented, or out}
    device=c:\cardwiz\pccard.386
    device=c:\cardwiz\ssvrdd.386
    device=c:\cardwiz\ssvcd311.386 (Windows for Workgroups)
    device=c:\cardwiz\dos16m.386


========================================
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.


Docking Stations

    Default installation of CardWizard includes support for 2 PC Card 
    slots.  If your computer supports docking and the machine is docked, 
    CardWizard will still display 2 PC Card slots; there is currently
    no dynamic CardWizard support for docking/undocking.

    To change CardWizard to support 4 PC Card sockets, modify
    the SSxxxx.SYS line (the actual file name will depend on your computer)
    in CONFIG.SYS to read:
    device=c:\cardwiz\sscbti.sys /numada:2 /ada1skts:2 /ada2skts:2

    To change CardWizard to support 2 PC Card sockets, modify
    the SSxxxx.SYS line (the actual file name will depend on your computer)
    in CONFIG.SYS to read:
    device=c:\cardwiz\ssxxxx.sys /numada:1 /ada1skts:2

=============================================

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

Note on Advanced Power Management

    For proper operation of PC Cards across Suspend and Hibernation,
    the correct Power Management drivers must be installed.

    The CardWizard 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 CardWizard drivers in the
    CONFIG.SYS file.  An example of the proper syntax is as
    follows:

        install=c:\cardwiz\cs_apm.exe

    You may need to install additional APM support depending on the
    operating environment you use.  Details follow.

    DOS
    ---
    For a DOS operating environment, the following line must be in CONFIG.SYS:

        device=c:\dos\power.exe

    WINDOWS
    -------
    For proper operation in the Windows environment, the POWER.EXE should
    not be in your CONFIG.SYS file.  Additionally, Windows Power
    Management support requires that Windows be configured as a "DOS with
    APM" machine.  Check this from a DOS prompt as follows:

        1. Type "cd c:\windows"
        2. Type setup.
        3. Select "Computer" - It should say "MS-DOS system with APM".
        4. If it does not, press the ENTER key.
        5. Scroll down to select "MS-DOS system with APM".
        6. Exit and save the changes.

Note on 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.

Note on Formatting Memory Cards

    To format ATA and SRAM PC Cards, from the DOS prompt type "FORMAT <drive>:"
    [ENTER], where <drive> is the drive letter of the PC Card. To format
    Flash PC Cards, from the DOS prompt type "MCFORMAT <drive>:" [ENTER],
    where <drive> is the drive letter of the PC Card. One should ignore
    any all references to TFORMAT, in the Wizard. TFORMAT was removed, and
    the Wizard was not updated in time for the release.

Note on 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. >

    1. Config.sys: Change this to
       device=c:\windows\emm386.exe noems X=D000-DFFF
       < Which sets aside 64K of memory. >
    2. System.ini: Change emmexclude [386Enh] to D000-DFFF.
    3. Csalloc.ini: Remove D800-DFFF from the memexclude statement.

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

    Also note that many Token Ring PC Cards lack support for Power
    Management functions and card removal while connected to the
    network.

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.

                                                            (1-7-97)
    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)

    For the card to work properly, it must be configured for
    "I/O MODE".   "Memory Mode" is not supported.  Please see
    the Xircom User's Guide for more information.


Lotus123 for DOS                                          (1-7-97)

    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                                  (1-7-97)

    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 through 4th, ensure uniqueness>

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



Note on Intel Series II 20MB Flash Cards

    It has been observed that the Intel Series II 20MB Flash Card does
    not configure under some circumstances. To fix this, edit config.sys
    line "TFFSCS.COM  /SIZE=8192" to "TFFSCS.COM /SIZE=16384".


Compaq Ethernet LAN Card:

    The drivers for this card must be installed manually.  Instructions
    for doing this are provided on the Installation Diskette for the
    Compaq Ethernet LAN card.  To see these instructions, do the following:

    1.  Insert the Installation Diskette for the Compaq Ethernet LAN card.
    2.  From a DOS prompt, type "A:GUIDE" then hit enter.  This assumes
        the diskette is in the A: drive.  The file ETHER1.TXT will be copied
        from the disk into a new directory called C:\COMPAQ.
    3.  Change to the COMPAQ directory by typing "CD \COMPAQ".
    4.  Consult the file ETHER1.TXT by typing "EDIT ETHER1.TXT".  Follow
        the instructions for MANUAL installation of the drivers required
        for your particular Network Operating System.


Xircom Ethernet/Modem (CEM2) PC Card:

    To correctly configure this card, use the following resources:
        IRQ 10
        COM 4

    Consult the Xircom User's Guide for details on how to do this
    for your particular Network Operating System.


Adaptec SlimSCSI 1460a:

    The system will hang during installation of the Adaptec SlimSCSI
    1460a device drivers.  The problem can be fixed by obtaining the
    newest installation program disk from Adaptec.  The tested install
    program has a revision number of 4.01a and is titled EZ-SCSI Lite.
    Contact Adaptec for these drivers.

    Contact Information:
         Adaptec Technical Support:      (408)934-7274
         Adaptec Technical Support Fax:  (408)957-6776


Angia SafeJack Combo Card

    To correctly configure this card, you must install the Angia
    drivers and do the following:
    1.  Select "Custom Installation"
    2.  In the "Card Settings" dialog, select:
            IRQ     10
            IO      300
            MEM     D400
            COM     4

    The system may lock up when using the Angia card (when starting
    Windows or logging out in a Windows DOS box).  As a workaround,
    if you're no longer using drivers, you can unload them as per
    the Angia documentation:

    From the network directory, type
        NETX /U
        IPXODI /U
        ANGIAEM /U
