Introduction

Your EPSON® PCMCIATM software makes it easy to configure

your computer for PC cards. The software is already installed

on your EPSON computer, and offers Plug-and-Play support

for both MS-DOS® and Microsoft® WindowsTM environments.

You simply insert your PC card into the PCMCIA slot and

begin using it. You won’t need to configure the computer

because the PCMCIA software allocates system resources so

that PC cards and your system hardware work together

seam lessly.

PCMCIA software includes the following utilities:

CardWizard,TM which automatically corrects configuration

conflicts for you or lets you configure your PC cards using

an easy-to-use Windows interface

CardLite,TM which supports fax/ modem and LAN cards in

the MS-DOS environment in a way that leaves more

memory for other applications

CardSoft,TMwhich provides the full range of PCMCIA

configuration options for the MS-DOS environment.

PCMCIA software supports PC cards from most vendors so

when you buy new PC cards for your computer, you’ll know

your software will support them.

Introduction 1

Note

Flash File System (FFS) software is not included with this

release of PCMCIA software. If you need support for linear

flash cards, contact your flash card manufacturer.

EPSON linear flash cards are compatible with PCMCIA

software, but require an appropriate Memory Technology

driver. Please contact EPSON for this driver.

configuration, see the following summary to find the chapters

you may need to read.

Chapter 1 describes how to use CardWizard.

Chapter 2 describes how to use the CardLite utilities from DOS.

Chapter 3 describes how to use the Card Soft utilities from DOS.

4 Introduction

Chapter 1

Using CardWizard

Card Wizard is a user-friendly Windows interface for Card Soft

that can automatically reconfigure resources for your PC cards.

Specifically, CardWizard performs these tasks:

❑

Provides automatic detection and correction of PC card

configuration problems

Lets you set up your system to start a program

automatically when you insert a card

Displays detailed information about installed cards,

including status, assigned system resources, vendor name,

and card type

Reconfigures PC cards and manages system resources, such

as I/O ports, IRQs, and memory

Notifies you of any status changes for the PC cards in your

system.

CardWizard is a standard Windows application and uses

Windows techniques for selecting icons and for moving and

sizing windows. This chapter assumes that you are familiar

with these techniques.

If you need help while using CardWizard, you can use

CardWizard’s on-line help. Just select Help (or press F1), and

select Contents from the Help pull-down menu. Then select

the topic you want from the contents list.

This chapter describes how to start CardWizard, how you can

tell if your computer recognizes the card, and how to use

CardWizard to solve typical configuration problems.

Using CardWizad 1-1

Using CardWizard

Every time you start Windows, it loads the CardWizard

drivers. If a PC card is inserted, your computer beeps to notify

you of the card status.

If your system beeps twice, it recognizes the card you inserted

and identifies the card on the icon. If your system beeps once

and you see a message, CardWizard has not been able to

recognize the card or the card is unconfigured; see the next

section.

To start Card Wizard, double click on the Card Wizard icon in

the System Soft Tools program group located in the Windows

Program Manager, as shown below.

Note

To start CardWizard, the CONFIG.SYS file must load the

Card Soft drivers.

You can also start Card Wizard automatically every time you

open Windows by copying the CardWizard icon to the

Windows Startup Program group. See your Windows

documentation for more information.
