CardSoft 5.32.18 Readme
-----------------------

Known Issues
------------

1. Install - Unable to open DISK.ID file.

        If this problem occurs it is because there are not enough file
        handles available. To remedy this problem increase the number
        of handles available in CONFIG.SYS (eg: FILES=40), reboot the
        system, and reinstall CardSoft from the floppy drive.

2. Thinkpad SelectaDock I and SelectaDock II with Xircom Ethernet/Modem 33.6

        Due to resource constraints and a deficiency in the Xircom driver you
        must disable the Infrared port using the ThinkPad utilities in order
        to use this card on the dock slots.

        Also in order to use the XIRCOM card with the SelectaDock I or
        SelectaDock II follow the additional two steps below:

        1. Copy the XIRCOM.EXE file from the XIRCOM directory on the
        installation disk into the C:\CARDSOFT directory.

        2. Enter the line below at the command prompt:

                C:\CARDSOFT\XIRCOM.EXE

        After completing the two steps above the system will be prepared to
        use the XIRCOM card. In the event that you reboot the system you
        will have to follow the above steps again in order to facilitate
        use of the XIRCOM card again.

        If you intend to use XIRCOM card permenantly then you may want to
        run the XIRCOM.EXE program in your AUTOEXC.BAT as shown below.

        Enter the line below in your AUTOEXEC.BAT:

                C:\CARDSOFT\XIRCOM.EXE

3. Windows 3.11 and Windows 95 Issues

        CardSoft does not support Windows 3.1 or Windows 95. We recommend
        that you do not attempt to use the CardSoft product with Windows 3.11
        or Windows 95. Instead we recommend the use of SystemSoft's CardWizard
        or CardWorks for Windows 3.11 and Windows 95 respectively.

        If you install Windows 3.11 using CardSoft you must completely remove
        the CardSoft stack from your CONFIG.SYS file when Windows installation
        is finished.

        If you install Windows 95 using CardSoft you must completely remove the
        CardSoft stack from your CONFIG.SYS file at the first time Windows95
        reboots the system during its installation. To do it, insert DOS boot
        diskette to floppy diskette drive before Windows reboots the system.
        After modification of CONFIG.SYS with using an editor program such as
        E.EXE or EDIT.EXE, remove the diskette and reboot the system. Then
        Windows 95 installation will be continued.

        Also do not install the CardSoft product after installing either
        Windows 3.11 or Windows 95.

        Flash Cards that have been formatted in Windows 95 using Plug & Play
        mode can not be read/written by CardSoft. To avoid this problem, Flash
        Cards which are to be used in both modes should be formatted in
        CardSoft mode.

4. PROCOMM Plus Suspend/Resume Limitation

        If using PROCOMM Plus v2.01 for DOS and a Modem card is inserted,
        you must close the application before you suspend the system or
        your system may hang.

5. LAN/SCSI Hot Swap Limitation

        Do not hot swap LAN and SCSI cards under DOS or Windows3.11 as this
        will generally result in a system crash. Most cards documentation
        states this limitation explicitly, and some do state that hot
        swapping is supported, but some do not say anything at all. Unless
        explicitly stated otherwise we do not recommend the hot swapping
        of any such cards.

6. Parameter behind EMM386.EXE

        According to the EMM386.EXE and CardWizard, the parameter behind
        EMM386.EXE must be NOEMS, not RAM.

        Example EMM386 line:

                DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE RAM X=D000-D7FF is wrong
                DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D000-D7FF is right

        Please change RAM to NOEMS manually if the parameter is RAM.
