Section 1. PCSSD PCMCIA Diagnostic Menu Driven Program (PCSSD.EXE)

PCSSD is a PCMCIA diagnostic program that will display information regarding
your PCMCIA systems and PC Cards. Card and Socket Services must be loaded
before this program is executed. To run the diagnostic type "PCSSD" at the
DOS command prompt.

Section 2. SeaPC PC Card Client Enabler (SEAPC.EXE)

SeaPC is a PCMCIA Version 2.0 compliant DOS client that will enable the 
selected PC Card's I/O address and IRQ when inserted.  

Features
  * Allows unique addressing and IRQ selection
  * Provides the highest level of compatibility with installed systems 
    compliant with PCMCIA standard 2.0 or higher

When should I use the driver?

This PC Card Client Enabler is not needed in all situations.  SeaPC should 
be used if one or more of the following conditions occur:

1.  The PCMCIA system software (Card and Socket Services) on the host computer 
    will not configure the card(s) automatically. 
2.  The PCMCIA system software on the host computer does not supply a configuration 
    utility to allow the PC Card to be configured automatically. 
3.  The configuration utility with the PCMCIA system software does not function properly.

SeaPC System Requirements

SeaPC was designed to operate on an IBM PC / AT or compatible computer.  
SeaPC requires approximately 3 kilobytes of free conventional memory.  
If SeaPC is loaded more than once, an additional 3 kilobytes plus buffer 
space is required for each resident copy.  SeaPC may be used with memory 
managers and loaded into expanded memory.  SeaPC requires MS-DOS or PC-DOS 
version 3.00 or higher and Card and Socket Services that are compliant with 
PCMCIA version 2.00 or higher.

Installation - Executing the Driver

SeaPC is a DOS Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) program that can be executed 
from the DOS command prompt or from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  For additional 
information on the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, please refer to the DOS.  When 
SeaPC is executed, a setup file must be specified on the command line. 

Command Line Options

To display the available command line options, Type "SEAPC /?" at the DOS 
command prompt.  The following should be displayed.

C:>SEAPC /?


Syntax:  SEAPC [/F:file] [/U] [/I] [/V] [/?]
	/F:[file]       Where file is the configuration file
	/U      Unconditional installation
	/I      Display info on resident copies of SeaPC without installing the enabler
	/V      Show verbose installation information
	/?      Display command line options, inhibit driver from loading

* Please note that the /F: option is the only required command line parameter.  
  If the setup file is not located in the default directory, the drive and 
  path must be specified.  The following section details the syntax of the 
  setup file.


Setup File

An example setup file named SEAPC.INI is provided on the diskette.  This file 
may be edited with the DOS EDIT utility.  The following is the syntax for a 
PC Card configuration:

[card]
BaseIO=Base I/O address
IRQ=Interrupt Request Signal
Type=Device Type
Interface=Electrical Interface Utilized

The following is a description of each entry in the setup file:

BaseIO     Base I/O address in Hexadecimal. Valid ranges are from 0 - 3FFh.  
	   Please note that some ranges may be reserved by the PCMCIA system 
	   software or occupied by other peripherals in the host computer 
	   system.
IRQ        Interrupt Request Signal in Decimal.  Valid ranges are from 2-15.  
	   Please note that some IRQs be reserved by the PCMCIA system 
	   software or occupied by other peripherals in the host computer 
	   system.
Type       Device Type.  Valid options are UART or SCC                          
Interface  Electrical Interface Utilized.  Valid options are RS-232, RS-422, 
	   RS-485.  Please note that in the scope of the driver, RS-422 and 
	   RS-485 are viewed as the same value.  A semicolon (;) at the 
	   beginning of a line denotes a comment and the remainder of that 
	   line is ignored.  Note the above syntax is an example for one card.  
	   Multiple cards (up to eight) may be configured using the following 
	   syntax:
	   
;First Card
[card]
BaseIO=238
IRQ=10
Type=SCC
Interface=RS-232

; Second Card
[card]
BaseIO=280
IRQ=11
Type=UART
Interface=RS-422

Using the PC Card on platforms other than ISA

Most PCMCIA systems are based on the standard PC (ISA) architecture; however, 
in some situations it may  be necessary to install the PC Card in a non-ISA 
system (for example Micro Channel or PCI).  For this reason the setup file 
has an additional parameter that allows pulse mode interrupts.  An ISA system 
uses level mode interrupts which is the default setting.  To enable pulse 
mode interrupts, add the following line to the setup file:

IRQMode=Pulse

Remember this feature will only work on a platform that supports pulse mode 
interrupts, and if the Card and Socket Services support pulse mode 
interrupts.

Section 3. SSEnable Stand Alone Card Enable Program (SSENABLE.EXE)

SSENABLE is a PCMCIA utility that will allow the use of your PC Card without
loading card and socket services. The utility is provided for applications 
that conflict with card and socket services. Please note that this utility
does NOT use card and socket services and greatly reduces the features of
the PCMCIA card. The command line parameters for the program are listed 
by typing SSENABLE at the DOS prompt. The following are example command 
line entries for the SSENABLE program:

-Enable base I/O address 238 hex
-IRQ 5
-memory range d000-dffff has been excluded from any memory manager 
    and is reserved for the PC Card attribute memory
-the PC Card is in socket 1

SSENABLE /b:238 /i:5 /m:d000 /s:1


To remove the configuration on socket 1 type:

SSENABLE /s:1 /r

NOTE: SSENABLE will only work with Intel PCIC compatible socket controllers.
