****************************************************************************** * Ethernet PCMCIA Card Enabler for Windows NT * ****************************************************************************** This file details the installation procedure for configuring the Ethernet PCMCIA card in WindowsNT. The procedures are different for the different Versions of NT. Be sure to follow the correct method. ****************************************************************************** * Windows NT 3.51 Service Pack 4. * ****************************************************************************** If NT 3.51 is installed with Service pack 4, you will need to replace the new PCMCIA.SYS file with an old version supplied with NT 3.51. ****************************************************************************** * Windows NT Version 3.5 * ****************************************************************************** * How to use NTECARD.SYS * Version - 1.00 First Release 21-04-95 This Release 16-05-96 Tested on - NT Version 3.5 and NT 3.51 By default, PC card will be configured on - IO Base 0x300 - IRQ 5 - Memory used C800:0000 (0xC8000) - Socket 0 To alter these 4 parameters, see instructions below. If you have conflicts with these, please report to me. INSTALLATION ------------ Now has to be done by hand. A later release will have all supporting set up files (.INFs). 1) Copy the NTECARD.SYS driver to your C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ directory. 2) Run REGEDT32.EXE from the SYSTEM32 directory. 3) Select the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES key. 4) Make a new sub-key (under services with the "Edit" then "Add Key". 5) Call the Key Name "NTECARD". 6) Make the Class "1" for SERVICE_KERNEL_DRIVER type. 7) Under the new "NTECARD" Key add the following Values: (This is done by "Edit" then "Add Value..." and select "REG_xx" for each value) a) ErrorControl:REG_DWORD:0x1 b) Group:REG_SZ:Base c) Start:REG_DWORD:0x1 d) Type:REG_DWORD:0x1 8) Then go to the control panel and install the NE2000 network driver on IO Base 0x300, IRQ 5 and Restart your machine. 9) Changing Parameters This section will show you haow to change from the default parameters. i) Go to the NtEcard key in the registry as created in step 4. i.e. at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\NtEcard. ii) Hilight the NtEcard key and add a new key. To do this go to "Edit" and chose "Add Key". iii) Set the new "Key Name" to "Parameters", and specify the "Class" as "1". iv) Select the new "Parameters" key and then add the following values (as in step (7) above). a) MemoryAddress:REG_DWORD:0xC8000 b) IOAddress:REG_DWORD:0x300 c) IRQ:REG_DWORD:0x5 d) CardSocket:REG_DWORD:0x0 You may specify any of the following values for each "Parameters" value: a) MemoryAddress:REG_DWORD:0xC8000 0xCC000 0xD0000 0xD4000 0xD8000 0xE0000 Tip: If you use ECARD for DOS use, follow the ECARD MEM setting (default is D800). This corresponds to 0xD8000 in Windows NT. b) IOAddress:REG_DWORD:0x300 0x320 0x340 0x360 c) IRQ:REG_DWORD:0x5 0x3 0x9 0x10 0x12 0x15 d) CardSocket:REG_DWORD:0x0 0x1 For the settings IOAddress and IRQ you will need to amend your NE2000 driver configuration in the Control Panel with the same settings. The NTECARD driver will report to the Error log some debug information. This is only for my reference and will be removed from final versions. Event Log Error Codes --------------------- 1 - Could not create device. IoCreateDevice failed. 2 - Allocate failed. regPath.Buffer = ExAllocatePool. 3 - No parameters defined in registry - defaults used. 4 - Card not physically detected. 5 - Set up the device resource list failed. 6 - Resource conflict detected. IoReportResourceUsage failed. 7 - i365BaseAddress conversion failed. 8 - Intel 82365 not idenified. read_intel_reg( 0 ) failed. 9 - isaMEMAddress conversion failed. 10 - CIS not validated. EcardValidateCIS failed. 11 - Configuration register tuple not present. EcardLocateCFG failed. 12 - Peek after poking configuration register failed. 13 - NE2000BaseAddress conversion failed. 14 - NE2000BaseAddress != 0x21 or != 0x23. Generally error codes 10 to 12 mean that the card could not be found. Make sure the card is inserted and the CardSocket value in the registry is valid. For a more detailled description of the Event Log error codes please edit your registry with the following parameters: 1) Run REGEDT32.EXE from the SYSTEM32 directory. 3) Select the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\ EventLog\System key. 4) Make a new sub-key (under services with the "Edit" then "Add Key". 5) Call the Key Name "NtEcard". 6) Make the Class "1" for SERVICE_KERNEL_DRIVER type. 7) Under the new "NtEcard" Key add the following Values: (This is done by "Edit" then "Add Value..." and select "REG_xx" for each value) a) EventMessageFile REG_EXPAND_SZ %SystemRoot%\System32\Drivers\NtEcard.sys b) TypeSupported REG_DWORD 0x7 ****************************************************************************** * Version 3.51 * ****************************************************************************** * How to use the PCMCIA software supplied with NT 3.51* (1) Open the Control Panel, and choose Network Setup. (2) Click the Add Adapter button. (3) Select <Other> Requires disk from manufacturer. (4) Type in the Path A:\WINNT (5) Select the Grey Cell 2200 Series. (6) Set the IRQ level and I/O Port Address to any free resources, Valid IRQ's = 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 12, 15. Valid I/O's = 300, 320, 340 & 360. (7) Select Bus Type as PCMCIA. (8) Leave the Bus Number selected at 0. (9) Click on OK and Restart the Machine. ****************************************************************************** If the installation for NT 3.51 does not work, please disable the PCMCIA driver from your device manager and use the NtEcard.sys driver and follow the installation as for Windows NT 3.51. ****************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************** * Windows NT Version 4.0 * ****************************************************************************** Step 1: Goto Control Panel, Network, Adapters, Add then click on Have Disk and select a:\winnt. Then follow the instructions for NT 3.51. Step 5.Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
