Tips for Using Real Mode Device Drivers

        CardWorks provides enhanced compatibility with real mode device
        drivers for use with PC CARDS which do not have Plug and Play
        drivers.  This section provides some tips for configuring cards
        using "CardSoft Mode" (real mode) within CardWorks.

        Note: Although CardWizard can display information about cards
              configured by either real mode or Windows 95, the "PC
              Card" Control Panel program can only display cards that
              are configured by Windows 95.

        Real mode drivers are typically required to be loaded in CONFIG.SYS
        or AUTOEXEC.BAT during system boot.  Many of these cards must be 
        inserted prior to booting the system. This is most often the case 
        with real mode network and SCSI cards, but other cards may have 
        this requirement as well.

        You will need to consult the documentation which was provided 
        with your card for information on how to properly install the 
        drivers.  In most cases, there is an install or setup program
        which will lead you through the installation process.

        CardWorks runs prior to Windows 95.  CardWorks tries to determine
        what system resources are available for your PCMCIA cards during
        system boot.  In some cases, CardWorks may mark resources as 
        used which Windows 95 later marks as available.  Once Windows 95
        is loaded, CardWorks will query Windows 95 for what resources
        the operating system has allocated to devices.  

        For example, CardWorks may mark IRQ 7 as used when it scans for
        available resources during boot.  When Windows 95 loads, it detects
        that IRQ 7 is free, because there is no printer attached to 
        your system and IRQ 7 is typically used for local printers.   
        CardWorks will detect that Windows 95 has marked IRQ 7 as available,
        and adjust its resource data base automatically.  

        You can use CardWizard to include and exclude resources which
        CardWorks will use when configuring cards during the boot process.
        To continue with the IRQ 7 example, the following describes 
        how to make IRQ 7 available for cards configured by CardWorks
        during boot:

           - Open CardWizard and select "IRQs" from the "View" menu.  
           - Select "Included" and click on the add button.
           - Select the IRQ 7 using the mouse or arrow keys.
           - Click on the "OK" button to reboot the system

        After the system reboots, IRQ 7 should then be available 
        (before Windows 95 launches).


CardID Settings for CardWorks
        
        CardID is a CardSoft real mode client responsible for configuring
        modems and CardSoft mode ATA disks.  CardWizard supports editing
        many of the setting in its initialization file, CARDID.INI.  Some
        settings may have to be changed by editing the file with a text
        editor for best results under Windows 95 and CardWorks.

        One setting which may need to be modified is "NoDOSModem=Yes".
        This setting controls whether CardWorks configures modems in
        DOS, before Windows 95 loads.  By default, CardWorks does 
        not configure modems until after Windows 95 loads.  If you wish
        to use modems in DOS before Windows 95 loads, you will have to
        change this line to "NoDOSModems=No".

        CARDID.INI specifies card libraries to be loaded by CardSoft
        when CARDID.EXE loads.  They are listed toward the end of the
        file and have a .CLB extension.  The libraries control whether
        CARDID.EXE configures a card.  
        
        Some entries have been commented out to prevent CardID from 
        configuring cards present during the boot process.  If you are 
        using a card which is configured during the boot process by 
        CardSoft and you wish to use a Plug and Play driver, you should 
        remove the library entry for the card from CARDID.INI.  
        
        On the other hand, if you wish to use a card in CardSoft mode,
        you may have to enable the library entry for the card.  In
        particular, the GENATA.LIB library is commented out of CARDID.INI
        by default.  This library controls most PCMCIA hard disks.  If
        you wish to use PCMCIA hard disks in CardSoft mode, you should 
        remove the semicolon from the beginning of the line which contains
        GENATA.LIB.


Overriding CardSoft Driver Installation

        CardWorks uses Plug and Play features to try to assist you
        in installing the correct drivers for your PCMCIA cards.  In
        some cases, Plug and Play drivers may work with certain cards 
        even though the Plug and Play information for the driver does
        not exactly match the information CardWorks reads from the
        PCMCIA cards.

        CardWorks provides a way for you to configure cards for Plug
        and Play mode, overriding the default selection made when the
        card is first inserted in your system.  To override the
        driver selection, insert the card into your computer with
        CardWizard running.  Select the card you wish to configure
        from the Card Information view.  Select "Properties..." from
        the "View" menu and select the "Drivers" tab.  Select the 
        "Change Card Driver" option and click on the "Use Plug and
        Play" option.


Advantages to Loading CardWizard at Startup

        CardWorks does not automatically install the CardWizard application
        into the system Startup group.  If you wish to have CardWizard
        start automatically when Windows 95 loads, you can add the
        application to the Startup group by selecting "TaskBar..." from
        "Settings" of the "Start" button. 

        By running the CardWorks application at startup, you will be 
        able to view cards which are inserted into your system, track
        system resource usage, start applications on card insertion,
        play sound files on card insertion, and easily "stop" Plug
        and Play configured cards before removing them.

        If you have a configuration problem with a PCMCIA card, CardWizard
        may be able to solve the problem for you.  Loading CardWizard at
        startup will allow you to be informed of configuration problems
        should they occur; however, CardWizard does not have to be loaded at
        startup to help diagnose PCMCIA problems.  You can run CardWizard
        any time and consult the "wizard" for help.


Using Copy and Paste with CardWizard

        CardWizard allows the text of the Wizard tips (problem solving 
        suggestions) to be copied into a file for printing.  To copy text 
        onto the Windows clipboard, highlight the text you wish to copy with 
        the mouse.  Hold the control key down (usually the control 
        key has "CTRL" for a label) and press the 'C' or the "Insert"
        key.  The Wizard text will be copied to the clipboard and
        can be pasted into a text editor such as Notepad for printing
        or later review.


Installing CardWorks with a Docking Station

        CardWorks needs to be added after Windows 95 has already been
        installed with a docking station, and after 32-bit PCMCIA support
        has been enabled.  If you acquire a docking station after
        installing CardWorks, you will need to remove CardWorks and then
        reinstall it in order to support PCMCIA slots on the dock.  See 
        the next section, "Removing CardWorks", for instructions on how 
        to remove CardWorks.


Removing CardWorks
          
        Note: If your machine is setup with docking enabled and your
              docking station has PCMCIA slots, you need to dock the
              machine before you start CardWorks removal process.

        First remove CardWorks from the Start Menu:

         - Select Start/Settings/TaskBar...
         - Select the Start Menu Programs Tab.
         - Select the CardWorks entry and click on the "Remove"
           button (Click on "Yes" for Confirm Folder Delete).
         - Double Click on Startup entry, select the CardWizard entry
           (is available) and click on "Remove".
         - Close the "Remove" Shortcuts/Folders dialog, then press OK 
           in the TaskBar Properties dialog.

        Remove any Shortcut to the CardWizard application on the
        Desktop by clicking on the CardWizard icon with the right mouse
        button and selecting "Delete".  Confirm with "Yes".

        You must then use the Windows 95 device manager to deinstall
        CardWorks to use the basic PC CARD support provided with 
        Windows 95.

        To deinstall CardWorks: 

	- Double click on the "My Computer" icon on the desktop, 
          then double click on the "Control Panel" folder.
        - Double click on the "System" icon in that folder.  
        - Select the "Device Manager" tab.  
        - Double click on PCMCIA socket and select
          the PCMCIA controller.  
        - Use the "Remove" button to remove the PCMCIA controller.  
        - If you are using a docking station, select the next 
          PCMCIA controller and use the "Remove" button.  Windows 
          may ask you to restart your system.  
        - After restarting your system,
          open the "Control Panel" and double click on the "System" icon. 
        - Select the "Device Manager tab".  
        - Inspect the PCMCIA controller entry.  
 	      - If it does not appear, add PCMCIA support using "Add New
                Hardware" in the "Control Panel".
              - If the PCMCIA controller entry appears to have an X on top 
                of it, select it and press the "Properties" button.  
                Inspect the "Device Status". If the status is disabled, 
                in the "Device Usage" section check the "Undocked" configuration 
                box and press OK.  The PCMCIA Wizard will guide you and enable 
                32-bit PCMCIA.

        Note: On some systems, the PCMCIA controller will be redetected when
              Windows restarts, and the PCMCIA controller icon in "DeviceManager"
              reappears and its status is "working properly".  On these systems,
              you need to uncheck the "Undocked" configuration box and select "OK".
              When Windows asks you to restart your computer, choose "No" and again
              click on "Properties" for the PCMCIA controller.  Now check the
              "Undocked" box in the "Device Usage" section.  This will start the
              PCMCIA Wizard and enable native 32-bit PCMCIA support.

        Consult the Windows 95 help file for complete instructions on
        adding the Windows 95 PCMCIA support.

        Note: make sure you fully reinstall Windows 95 PCMCIA support
        before you install CardWorks again.


Limitations
        
        The application launch feature of CardWizard is currently
        restricted to assigning only the program name to a card - a
        program command line option cannot be added using the "Browse"
        button from the Wizard's Application Launching Assignments dialog. 
        Command line options can be added manually by editing the WIZ.INI
        file.  To add a command line to an application, first use the
        Wizard to assign the application to the card.  Then use a text
        editor to edit WIZ.INI, which is located in the Windows directory. 
        Find the application program name under [APPLICATIONS], add the
        command line to the end, and save the file.

        CardWizard is not automatically started when CardWorks detects
        a problem configuring a card that has been previously inserted.
