Error & Warning Messages
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
MS-FLASH
========
No PCMCIA compliant memory card driver detected.
------------------------------------------------
PCMFFCS.EXE did not load. Either it is not in the CONFIG.SYS or
an error occurred when it attempted to load. If it is not in the
CONFIG.SYS file, re-run PCMSETUP to configure your system.
PCM
===
Card not found in the Card List
-------------------------------
The card is currently not listed in the Card List which is stored
in the PCM.INI file. You will need to add the card to the list
before using the Edit Configuration. However, you can also
choose the configuration from the card you wish to use and also
edit it at that time.
No PC Card from Socket No. x
----------------------------
You can not View Advanced information, Add a card or Edit a
card's configuration unless it is in the socket that is being
displayed on the screen. Insert the card you wish to add or edit
configurations and select that socket.
Make sure that the socket has not been reserved by the /RS=x
option on the PCMSS= line in the PCM.INI file.
PCM can only add I/O Card
-------------------------
You have attempted to add a card that can not be added to the
PCM.INI card list. If it is a Flash or ATA card and is currently
not being recognized, re-run PCMSETUP to configure Card Manager
to support that type of card.
PCM cannot run under MS-Windows
-------------------------------
The PCM application is only for MS-DOS. Run PCMWIN when using
MS-Windows.
Requested Memory Unavailable
----------------------------
The memory requested for that card's configuration is not
available to Card Services. Try choosing another memory
window and then validate. Or, run PCMRMAN and check the
user override for that memory location. You can change it
to include, but if the System says that it is Unavailable
then that memory location is being used by another device in
the system.
Requested IRQ Unavailable
-------------------------
The IRQ requested for that card's configuration is not
available to Card Services. Try choosing another IRQ and
then validate. Or, run PCMRMAN and check the user override
for that IRQ. You can change it to include, but if the
System says that it is Unavailable then that IRQ location
is being used by another device in the system.
Requested I/O Unavailable
-------------------------
The I/O requested for that card's configuration is not
available to Card Services. Try choosing another I/O window
and then validate. Or, run PCMRMAN and check the user
override for that I/O location. You can change it to
include, but if the System says that it is Unavailable
then that I/O address is being used by another device in the
system.
Unavailable COM
---------------
If you attempt to configure a card for a COM port that is
already being used by either the system or another PCMCIA
card, PCM will notify you of the conflict. Either select
another COM configuration for the card that you are
configuring, change the COM port setting of your internal
serial port, or remove the PCMCIA card that is using the
same COM port that you want to use.
PCMATA
======
Unable to read PCM.INI
----------------------
Either the PCM.INI file is missing or the CNFIGNAM.EXE device
driver is not loading in the CONFIG.SYS file prior to all the Card
Manager device drivers. Re-run INSTALL.BAT to copy new copies
of the Card Manager files and then re-run PCMSETUP.
Card Services not found
-----------------------
The ATA driver can not load unless Card Services is already
loaded. Make sure that PCMCS is loading. Re-running PCMSETUP
will add PCMATA to the CONFIG.SYS file.
Syntax error in command line
----------------------------
The PCMATA= line in the PCM.INI file contains an incorrect
option. Either re-run PCMSETUP or edit the PCM.INI file.
Socket number specified over logical sockets in the system
----------------------------------------------------------
The PCMATA= line in the PCM.INI file contains an option, Sx=y,
where x is the number of sockets in your system. This number is
typically only 0 or 1. 0 for a system with 1 socket or 1 for a
system with 2 sockets. Either re-run PCMSETUP or edit the
PCM.INI file.
PCMCS
=====
Card event IRQ unavailable
--------------------------
The IRQ needed for card events is being used by the system. Re-
run PCMSETUP, Advanced Mode, to select another IRQ, or modify the
/IRQ= option on the PCMCS= line in the PCM.INI file.
Incorrect command-line parameter(s) detected
--------------------------------------------
The PCM.INI file contains an option on the PCMCS= line that is
not valid. Either re-run PCMSETUP or edit the PCM.INI file.
PCM.INI missing
---------------
Either the PCM.INI file is missing or the CNFIGNAM.EXE device
driver is not loading in the CONFIG.SYS file before all the Card
Manager device drivers. Re-run INSTALL.BAT to copy new copies
of the Card Manager files and then re-run PCMSETUP.
Socket Services not loaded
--------------------------
Card Services (PCMCS) can not load unless PCMSS is already
loaded. Make sure that PCMSS is loading. Re-running PCMSETUP
will add PCMSS to the CONFIG.SYS file
PCMFDISK
========
PCMATA.SYS Ver 3.0 or above not installed
-----------------------------------------
The system has not been configured for use with ATA devices. Re-
run PCMSETUP and select Yes to the question "Do you wish to use
ATA cards?"
PCMFFCS
=======
Invalid window size specified (4, 8, 16, 32, 64)
------------------------------------------------
The /SIZE option on the PCMFFCS= line in the PCM.INI file is not
valid. The SIZE option specifies the size of the memory window
needed for flash memory cards and can only be 4, 8, 16, 32, or
64K of memory. Either re-run PCMSETUP using Advanced Mode to
customize the size to a valid value, or edit the PCM.INI file.
No Card Services detected or incorrect PCMCIA release
-----------------------------------------------------
PCMCS.EXE did not load. Either it is not in the CONFIG.SYS or an
error occured when it attempted to load. If it is not in the
CONFIG.SYS file, re-run PCMSETUP to configure your system.
/PART is not a valid numeric value
----------------------------------
The /PART option on the PCMFFCS= line in the PCM.INI file is not
valid. The PART option specifies the number of partitions to use
on a flash memory card. The valid values are 1-8. Either re-run
PCMSETUP the Advanced Mode to customize the number of partitions to
a valid value or edit the PCM.INI file.
/QUEUE is not a valid numeric value
-----------------------------------
The /QUEUE option on the PCMFFCS= line in the PCM.INI file is not
valid. The QUEUE option specifies the number of queues to use on
a flash memory card. The valid values are 0-9. Either re-run
PCMSETUP using Advanced Mode to customize the number of queues
to a valid value, or edit the PCM.INI file.
PCMRMAN.EXE
===========
Incorrect command line parameter(s) specified
---------------------------------------------
The PCM.INI file contains an option on the PCMRMAN= line that is
not valid. Either re-run PCMSETUP or edit the PCM.INI file.
PCM.INI not found or PCM+ is not installed
------------------------------------------
Either the PCM.INI file is not in the same directory or Card Manager
has not been configured on your system.
PCMRMAN.SYS
===========
Card Services not found.
------------------------
PCMRMAN can not load unless Card Services is already loaded.
Make sure that PCMCS is loading. Re-running PCMSETUP will add
PCMCS to the CONFIG.SYS file.
'include' specifies Memory already excluded at XXXX
----------------------------------------------------
In the PCM.INI file the [config_name.resources] section has the
memory XXXX specified as both an include and an exclude range.
The exclude will override the include memory. To correct, you
can run PCMRMAN and change the user override and then save the
changes or manually edit the PCM.INI file.
PCM.INI file missing
--------------------
Either the PCM.INI file is missing or the CNFIGNAM.EXE device
driver is not loading in the CONFIG.SYS file before all the Card
Manager device drivers. Re-run INSTALL.BAT to copy new copies
of the Card Manager files and then re-run PCMSETUP.
PCMSETUP
========
Communications Port selected is in Use
--------------------------------------
During PCMSETUP if there is a PCMCIA com device (i.e.,
fax/modem) in the slot and Card Manager is currently loaded
and configured for the same COM port that you have selected,
you will get this error. Either remove the current PCMCIA com
card from the slot or select a different COM port.
If your system does NOT support battery operation
-------------------------------------------------
PCMSETUP will scan the system to determine if APM and POWER are
active. If you have a battery system and you use the Auto Resume
feature you will need to have APM support and make sure that
POWER.EXE is loaded in the CONFIG.SYS. You can refer to the Card
Manager User manual or your computer's reference manual for
additional information.
IRQ you've selected is currently in use
---------------------------------------
During Advanced Mode you can specify what IRQ for Card Manager to
use. Card Manager will not allow you to configure it with an IRQ
that is being used by the system. You will need to select another
IRQ number. IRQs that are typically available are: 5, 10, 11,
and 15 (default)
Memory you have selected has been assigned to another component
---------------------------------------------------------------
The CIS window address, Flash Memory Window base address, and ATA
Window address can not conflict with each other, or use a memory
window that the system is currently using. You will need to
specify another memory window address or make that window
available. If you are using a memory window and you have
excluded memory ranges, Card Manager will see those memory ranges
as unavailable and will not allow you to use them for Card
Manager.
MS-Flash.SYS is missing
-----------------------
After specifying a path name, PCMSETUP will check the directory
to verify that the MS-FLASH.SYS file does exist. Since PCMSETUP
will still add the device drivers to the CONFIG.SYS file using
the directory that you specified, you will need to either copy the
MS-FLASH files (MS-FLASH.SYS and MEMCARD.EXE) in to that directory
or re-run PCMSETUP and specify a different directory.
Pathname you entered does not exist
-----------------------------------
When entering a pathname other than the default for Windows and
for Flash File System, you need to specify a directory that
exists on the hard disk.
PCMSETUP has detected an invalid configuration
----------------------------------------------
Either the system boot environment variable called CONFIG is
corrupt or the F5 function key was pressed when the
operating system was loaded. This error will occur if you
are using a Multiple boot CONFIG.SYS which is supported in
MS-DOS 6.x, but the CONFIG.SYS file was bypassed, by pressing
F5 during boot or booting from a floppy disk. PCMSETUP depends
on the information in CONFIG.SYS being loaded. Therefore, you need
to re-boot the system and select the menu item that you wish to
have Card Manager installed in.
PCMSETUP needs to be run from the directory containing the device
drivers
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Before running PCMSETUP, you need to change to the directory
containing all of the Card Manager files.
SETUP has detected a conflict
-----------------------------
Setup has detected a conflict between the default settings for
Card Manager and an existing system resource. The default
settings are memory window C800 and IRQ 15. If these resources
are currently being used in your system you will need to run
Advanced Mode and specify alternative resources for Card Manager
to use.
UMB Parameter is missing
------------------------
This warning will occur if PCMSETUP does not find the DOS=UMB or
DOS=HIgh,UMB in your CONFIG.SYS file. It is needed by PCM+ to
access upper memory blocks. You should add the line DOS=HIGH,UMB
to your CONFIG.SYS, but you do not need to re-run PCMSETUP.
PCMSS
=====
Bad Command-line parameter(s)
-----------------------------
The PCM.INI file contains an option on the PCMSS= line that is
not valid. Either re-run PCMSETUP or manually edit the PCM.INI
file.
Unable to read PCM.INI
----------------------
Either the PCM.INI file is missing or the CNFIGNAM.EXE device
driver is not loading in the CONFIG.SYS file before to all the Card
Manager device drivers. Re-run INSTALL.BAT to copy new copies
of the Card Manager files and then re-run PCMSETUP.
PCMSCD
==========
Bad Command Line, no installation
---------------------------------
The PCM.INI file contains an option on the PCMSCD= line that is
not valid. Either re-run PCMSETUP or edit the PCM.INI file.
Card Services not found
------------------------
Super Client driver can not load unless Card Services is already
loaded. Make sure that PCMSCD is loading. Re-running PCMSETUP
will add PCMSCD to the CONFIG.SYS file.
Unable to read PCM.INI
----------------------
Either the PCM.INI file is missing or the CNFIGNAM.EXE device
driver does not appear in the CONFIG.SYS file prior to all the Card
Manager device drivers. Re-run INSTALL.BAT to copy new copies
of the Card Manager files and then re-run PCMSETUP.
PCMWIN
======
Card not found in the Card List
-------------------------------
The card is currently not listed in the Card List which is stored
in the PCM.INI file. You'll need to add the card to the list
before using Edit Configuration. However, you can also choose
the configuration from the card you wish to use and also edit it
at the same time you add the card. If you believe that the card
is in the card list, make sure that the PCM.INI file does exist
in the same directory with all the Card Manager files.
No Card
-------
The Associations option requires that there be a card in the
socket that is being displayed. Insert the card you wish to add
an association.
PCMSCD.EXE not loaded
---------------------
To run the PCMWIN application, PCMSCD.EXE needs to be loaded in the
CONFIG.SYS file. Exit Windows and re-run PCMSETUP.
PCMWIN can only add I/O cards
-----------------------------
You have attempted to add a card that can not be added to the
PCM.INI card list. If it is a Flash or ATA card and is currently
not being recognized, re-run PCMSETUP to configure Card Manager
to support that type of card.
Requested Memory Unavailable
----------------------------
The memory requested for that card's configuration is not
available to Card Services. Try choosing another memory
window and then validate. Or, run PCMRMAN (after exiting
windows) and check the user override for that memory
location. You can change it to include, but if the System
says that it is unavailable then that memory location is
being used by another device in the system.
Requested IRQ Unavailable
-------------------------
The IRQ requested for that card's configuration is not
available to Card Services. Try choosing another IRQ and
then validate. Or, run PCMRMAN (after exiting Windows) and
check the user override for that IRQ. You can change it to
include, but if the System says that it is unavailable
then that IRQ location is being used by another device in
the system.
Requested I/O Unavailable
-------------------------
The I/O requested for that card's configuration is not
available to Card Services. Try choosing another I/O window
and then validate. Or, run PCMRMAN (after exiting Windows)
and check the user override for that I/O location. You can
change it to include, but if the System says that it is
unavailable then that I/O address is being used by another
device in the system.
Socket Empty
------------
You can only View Advanced information, Add a card or Edit a
card's configuration unless it is in the socket that is being
displayed on the screen. Insert the card you wish to add or edit
configurations and select that socket.
This program requires Microsoft Windows
---------------------------------------
PCMWIN is a Windows application and must be run under
Microsoft Windows.
Unable to read card's CIS
-------------------------
There is a problem reading information off of the card. First
try extracting and then inserting the card. You will also want to
make sure that you have not specified the /RS option on the
PCMSS= line in the PCM.INI file. Lastly, re-run PCMSETUP to re-
configure the system using some Card Manager defaults and see if
the problem still exists. If so, then either the card does not
contain a CIS or the card is bad.
Unavailable COM Port
--------------------
If you attempt to configure a card for a COM port that is
already being used by either the system or another PCMCIA
card, PCMWIN will notify you of the conflict. Either select
another COM configuration for the card that you are
configuring, change the COM port setting of your internal
serial port, or remove the PCMCIA card that is using the
same COM port that you want to use.
Windows
=======
PCMCIA card insertion/removal not supported in standard Windows mode
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Hot insertion of PCMCIA cards is not supported when running
Windows in standard mode. Exit windows and re-load in 386
Enhanced mode.
