2.2 DSP-100 Enabler for DOS

For systems that are not operating PCMCIA Card and Socket Services software, the

DSP-100 DOS Enabler may be used to enable and configure the adapter. This Enabler,

DSP100EN.EXE, will operate on any DOS system using an Intel 82365SL or PCIC

compatible PCMCIA host adapter including the Cirrus Logic CL-PD6710 / 6720, the

VLSI VL82C146, and the Vadem VG-365 among others.

IMPORTANT:

In order to use the DSP-100 Enabler for DOS, the system

MUST NOT be configured with Card and Socket Services

software. If a Card and Socket Services software is installed,

the DSP-100 Enabler may interfere with its operation and

with the device(s) it controls.

The DSP-100 Enabler does not support automatic configuration of adapters upon

insertion, more commonly referred to as "Hot Swapping". This means the adapter must

be installed in one of the system's PCMCIA sockets before executing DSP100EN.EXE. If

more than one adapter is installed in a system, the Enabler must be executed separately

for each adapter. Furthermore, DSP100EN.EXE should be executed to release the

resources used by the adapter before it is removed from the PCMCIA socket. Since

PCMCIA adapters do not retain their configuration after removal, any adapter that is

removed from the system must be reconfigured with the Enabler after re-inserting it

into a PCMCIA socket.

IMPORTANT:

The Enabler requires a region of high DOS memory when

configuring a DSP-100. This region is 1000H bytes (4KB) long

and by default begins at address D0000H (the default address

may be changed using the "W" option). If a memory manager

such as EMM386, QEMM, or 386Max is installed on the system,

this region of DOS memory must be excluded from the memory

manager's control. Consult the documentation provided with

the memory manager software for instructions on how to

exclude this memory region.
