*****************************************************************
3-1. Getting the Card Service Driver and Socket Service Drivers
If you cannot operate KXL-783A, install device driver on DOS before
continuing
(1) Connect KXL-783A to your computer and turn on KXL-783A, then
start your computer on DOS.
(2) Insert the OS/2 CD-ROM into KXL-783A.
(3) Insert the supplied KXL-783A's Setup Disk into drive A.
(4) At the prompt[C:\], type "A:\OS2\SETUP1 D" and press Enter.
(Where "D" is the KXL-783A's drive letter.)
The PCMCIA files are copied from the list below to your computer
on C:\KMEOS2.
In the case of OS/2 Warp(DOS/Windows)
UNPACK.EXE D:\OS2IMAGE\DISK_2
PCMCIADD D:\OS2IMAGE\DISK_12
PCMCIA D:\OS2IMAGE\DISK_14
In the case of OS/2 Warp
UNPACK.EXE D:\OS2IMAGE\DISK_2
PCMCIADD D:\OS2IMAGE\DISK_10
PCMCIA D:\OS2IMAGE\DISK_12
In the case of OS/2 Warp Connect
UNPACK.EXE D:\OS2IMAGE\DISK_2
PCMCIADD D:\OS2IMAGE\DISK_14
PCMCIA D:\OS2IMAGE\DISK_14
(5) Restart your computer with "installation Diskette for CD-ROM" and
"Diskette for CD-ROM", then the message "OS/2 cannot locate or
operate any CD-ROM drive." appears.
If your computer already has an internal CD-ROM drive, this message
dose not appear. You should install OS/2 Warp by using the internal
CD-ROM drive.

5. Supplement and Troubleshooting Guide
5-1. Error Message
If you have the following message when starting the computer, please
modify the CONFIG.SYS.
ERROR MESSAGE:
*********************************************************************
* The device driver KME8OS2.SYS specified in the BASEDEV= statement *
* on line xx of the CONFIG.SYS file was not installed. Line xx *
* is ignored. *
*********************************************************************
Possible Cause:
The KME8OS2.SYS couldn't start, because the PCMCIA device driver
did not load.
Solution:
* If the PCMCIA is not installed, install it.
* Check the CONFIG.SYS to make sure that the KME8OS2.SYS is located
after the PCMCIA.SYS and the IBM2SS01.SYS. If not, please edit.
Sample of CONFIG.SYS File
***************************
* ....... *
* BASEDEV=PCMCIA.SYS *
* BASEDEV=IBM2SS01.SYS * <- The filename depends on your computer.
* ....... *
* BASEDEV=KME8OS2.SYS *
* BASEDEV=KME8OS2.ADD *
* ....... *
***************************
5-2. Insertion / Removal of the Interface card with the power on
You can insert or take out the Interface card with the computer turned
on. For example, When you have connected the CD-ROM player and you
want to use the FAX modem card, You can change the card to the FAX
modem card and use. Then, change it back to the Interface card and
continue.
However, in this case if you leave the computer power on, also leave
the CD-ROM power on, and put the card into the slot. If there is more
than one card slot on the computer, make sure that the PC card insert
back into the same slot as before.
5-3. Mixed mode CDs (Enhanced CDs)
The Mixed mode CDs have both CD-DA data(Audio data) and CD-ROM data
(digital data) on a disc. There are following kind of mixed mode CDs.
(1) Audio data occupies session 1, Digital data occupies session 2 and
up.
(2) Digital data occupies session(or tack) 1, Audio data occupies
session(or track) 2 and up.
There are same mixed mode CDs that CD-ROM player can not play from OS/2
drive icon. In this case, please use OS/2-WIN.
5-4. Multisession CD
(1) Multisession Photo CD
The CD-ROM player can read only first session, and can not read
other session.
(2) CD Extra
The CD-ROM player recognize a CD Extra as Audio CD. So you can not
