Installing Microsoft Windows
PCMCIA Card & Socket Services
System Installation Requirements
HP OmniBook 800 installed with Windows 3.1 or Windows for
Workgroups
HP OmniBook 800 PCMCIA Drivers. These drivers are located
on the OmniBook hard disk in C:\OMNIBOOK\DRIVERS\WFW\PCMCIA.
These drivers are also located on the HP OmniBook Recovery CD
in the \OmniBook\DRIVERS\WFW\PCMCIA directory.
Note: If you are backing up these files to floppy disk, you
will need two floppy disks.
Procedures
1.From the DOS prompt or Windows File Manager create a
directory called C:\CARDWIZ.
2.Copy the PCMCIA Drivers from
C:\OMNIBOOK\DRIVERS\WFW\PCMCIA or from your backup on
floppy disk.
3. Enter the following lines into your CONFIG.SYS file in
the order shown. (The REM’ed lines need not be entered. They
are simply for explanation of the driver.)
REM -- OmniBook Socket Services driver required for card slot support
devicehigh=C:\CARDWIZ\SS365LP.EXE
REM -- Card Services driver required for card slot support.
devicehigh=C:\CARDWIZ\CS.EXE /POLL:1
REM -- Card Services APM support required for card slot support
install=C:\CARDWIZ\CS_APM.EXE
REM -- Initial resource allocator required for card slot support
devicehigh=C:\CARDWIZ\CSALLOC.EXE
REM -- ATA card driver required for ATA cards
devicehigh=C:\CARDWIZ\ATADRV.EXE /S:2
REM -- Driver required for RAM cards
devicehigh=C:\CARDWIZ\MTSRAM.EXE
REM -- Memory card driver required for all memory cards
devicehigh=C:\CARDWIZ\MTDDRV.EXE
REM -- Card identification driver required for cards other than memory cards
devicehigh=C:\CARDWIZ\CARDID.EXE
Add the following lines to the [386Enh] section of the
SYSTEM.INI file. (The simplest method of accomplishing this is to cut and
paste from the readme.txt file located in the c:\omnibook\drivers\wfw\pcmcia
directory.)
COM2Base=2F8
COM2Irq=3
COM1Base=3F8
COM1Irq=4
device=C:\CARDWIZ\SSVRDD.386
device=C:\CARDWIZ\SSVCD311.386
device=C:\CARDWIZ\PCCARD.386
EmmExclude=DE00-DFFF
....and after the "FileSysChange=off"
COM3Irq=5
COM3Base=3E8
COM4Irq=9
COM4Base=2E8
---and change "device=*vcd" to ";device=*vcd"
Add the following file to the c:\windows\system directory
CTL3DV2.DLL
(This file is contained in the c:\omnibook\drivers\wfw\pcmcia\windows\system
directory.)
Maximizing memory for PC Cards
1. In the default config.sys there are two emm386 lines.
The defaults are as follows:
device=c:\dos\emm386.exe noems x=c000-cbff i=ca00-cfff x=d000-d1ff i=d200-e7ff x=e800-efff.
(This allots 8K of memory for PC Card support. Add the REM statement to the
beginning of this line to allot 32K of memory for PC Card support.)
REM device=c:\dos\emm386.exe noems x=c000-cbff i=ca00-cfff x=d000-d7ff i=d800-e7ff x=e800-efff.
(This allots 32K of memory for PC Card support. Remove the REM to increase the
memory to 32K)
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.
