[2] CLIENT DRIVER (For DOS and Windows 3.1 Only)
The CLIENT DRIVER is a PCMCIA controller enable program. This enable
program only need for DOS and Windows 3.1 system. You should installed
the Socket and Card service in your Notebook before executing the
client driver.If you do not have the Socket or card service program,
please call the Notebook vendor.The client driver will keep resident for
handle card inseration and removal events. This feature can prevent
system crash when remove the card from socket.
To load the client driver, type
ECARDCS [/IRQ=x][/IO=nnn][/?]
in DOS command line, or
DEVICE=[PATHNAME]ECARDCS.EXE [/IRQ=x][/IO=nnn][/?]
in config.sys file.
where:
[/IRQ=x] This specifies the hardware interrupt (IRQ) where your
card will be indicated.
The valid IRQs are 3,4,5,9,10,12,15.
[/IO=nnn] This specifies the I/O address. The valid ports are
300,320,340,360.
[/?] This specifies to indicate the program to display all
the possible syntax only.
The default syntax is:
ECARDCS /IRQ=5 /IO=300
[3] SOCKET and CARD SERVICES INSTALLATION ADVISORY
For those who installed EMM386.EXE in your config.sys, please exclude
memory address D400-D7FF from your system. PCMCIA Ethernet card enabler
program will use this space to read Ethernet ID and CIS from on-board
flash memory.
[Example]
DEVICE=EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D400-D7FF
or
DEVICE=EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D000-DFFF
For those who installed Card and Socket Services device driver in your
config.sys, please run ECARDCS.EXE(see Client Driver) after those device
drivers. The default configuration is IRQ=5, IO=300.

supports NetWare 3.x and 4.x, NetWare Lite and other ODI interface
application.
PCODI.COM : DOS/ODI Driver for NetWare 3.x and 4.0.
The following instructions let you to install Novel NetWare DOS ODI
Driver :
How To Install
---------------
You need following five files to install DOS ODI DRIVER.
a. LSL.COM ---- supported by Novell
b. PCODI.COM ---- Novell DOS ODI Driver ,supported
by manufacturer
c. IPXODI.COM ---- supported by Novell
d. NETx.COM ---- supported by Novell
or
EMSNETx.EXE
or
XMSNETx.EXE
e. NET.CFG ---- optional,configuration file
After boot your workstation, type following comments on the console:
LSL <Enter>
PCODI <Enter>
IPXODI <Enter>
NETx <Enter>
then,you can log in to the file server.

You can see Netware 386 Installation appendix E for more
information about NET.CFG.
Below is a sample NET.CFG file:
LINK DRIVER PCODI
port 300
int 5
Frame Ethernet_II
Frame Ethernet_802.3
Protocol IPX E0 Ethernet_802.2
:

[5] Packet Driver
The driver PCPKT.COM can be used for Ethernet PCMCIA adapter.
To load the packet driver , type PCPKT 0x60.
PCPKT syntax:
PCPKT [options] <packet_int_no> <int_level> <io_addr>
where:
[options]
-i -- Force driver to report itself as IEEE 802.3 instead of Ethernet II.
-d -- Delayed initialization. Used for diskless booting.
-n -- NetWare conversion. Converts 802.3 packets into 8137 packets.
-w -- Windows hack, obsoleted by winpkt.
-p -- Promiscuous mode disable.
-u -- Uninstall.
<packet_int_no> This specifies the software interrupt (IRQ) where
you'll load the packet driver. It must be in the range
0x60 to 0x80.
<int_level> This specifies the hardware interrupt (IRQ) where your
card will be indicated.
<io_addr> This specifies the I/O address .
Example:
The following command line loads the Ethernet Packet Driver
at software interrupt 60h, at I/O address 300, at hardware interrupt 5.
PCPKT 0x60 0x5 0x300
or
PCPKT 0x60
Note: The default I/O address is 300 .
Note: The default hardware interrupt is 5.
Note: The placement of 0x prior to the parameters.
