3.3 MPAP-100 Enabler for DOS

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

MPAP-100 DOS enabler may be used to enable and configure the card. The enabler will operate

on any DOS system using an Intel 82365SL (PCIC) or PCIC-compatible PCMCIA socket adapter

including the Cirrus Logic CL-PD6710/6720, the VLSI VL82C146, and the Vadem VG-365

among others.

IMPORTANT

The enabler can be used ONLY if Card and Socket

Services is NOT installed on the system!

3.3.1 DOS Enabler Installation

To install the DOS enabler program, copy the file MPAP1EN.EXE from the MPAP-100

distribution diskette onto the system's hard drive. No setup steps are required.

IMPORTANT

The enabler requires a region of high DOS memory when configuring

an MPAP-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.

3.3.2 Hot Swapping is not supported

The MPAP-100 enabler does not support automatic configuration of adapters upon

insertion, commonly referred to as "Hot Swapping". The enabler must be executed after

insertion of an MPAP-100 card. If more than one MPAP-100 is installed in a system, the enabler

must be executed separately for each card. A card that is removed and reinserted must be

reconfigured by executing the enabler again.
