I PCMCIA/IDE CD-ROM solution for DOS I.1 Device Driver and Utility Usage -------------------------------------------------- PICC.EXE (PCMCIA/IDE Adaptor Card Services Client) -------------------------------------------------- This driver supports the PCMCIA 2.1+ Card/Socket services specifications. It is mandatory to load this driver before using the PICD.EXE device driver. Installation Format: DEVICE=[drive:][path]PICC.EXE [/P:xxx,yy] where [/P:xxx,yy] specifies the I/O port base and interrupt number that the Adaptor Card Services tries to allocate for this card in default. 'xxx' is the base address (hexadecimal notation) of IDE port. The permissible assignment of the base address are as 168, 1E8 and 170. 'yy' is the interrupt number (decimal notation) of the corresponding IDE port. The permissible interrupt number are 9, 10, 11, 12 and 15. Note 1: you might emulate a secondary enhanced IDE port on the PCMCIA/IDE adaptor card as shown below: DEVICE=PICC.EXE /P:170,15 Note 2: this client driver will search for IO ranges from the default base address (if specified) and then 168, 1E8 to 170 and search for IRQ from the default interrupt number (if specified) and then 10, 11, 15, 9 to 12. ------------------------------------------ PICD.EXE (PCMCIA/IDE CD-ROM Device Driver) ------------------------------------------ This device driver requires that the PICC.EXE client driver to be installed before using the PICD.EXE driver. And this CD-ROM device driver will search for CD-ROM drives for Enhanced IDE ports (namely 1f0,14 and 170,15) and then the IO ranges/IRQ that PICC.EXE allocates. Installation Format: DEVICE=[drive:][path]PICD.EXE /D:<drive name> [/R] where /D:<drive name> specifies the drive name for MSCDEX.EXE to match, and the default name is _PICD_$$. [/R] reserves one drive letter for plug and play purpose, if this parameter is used then the CD-ROM drive need not exist to be initialized when system boots up. However, be sure that the PCMCIA/IDE adaptor card is inserted properly to allow Socket/Card/Client services to recognize its existence. Please install MSCDEX.EXE in AUTOEXEC.BAT file as shown below: MSCDEX /D:<drive name> ---------------------------------- INSTALL.EXE (Installation Program) ---------------------------------- You have to run this installation program under DOS environment; and this program will copy the necessary files into the target directory and automatically make changes to your system files. I.2 Error Messages a. *** Client is already installed PICC.EXE refuses to be installed twice, you have to take out one line of client driver installation from the CONFIG.SYS file. b. *** Card Services Release 2.1 not found The Client driver PICC.EXE needs a Card Services Release 2.1 installed in system for registration. To remedy this problem, you might reinstall or reconfigure your system for your PCMCIA sockets. c. *** Client registration failed The Client driver PICC.EXE failed to register although a Card Services Release 2.1 is found. Reconfiguration is recommended. d. *** Error reading tuple data Normally, a Card Services Client for system resources allocation is needed to be installed for other Client driver to read tuple data correctly from PCMCIA cards. e. *** Card Services Client not found. The CD-ROM device driver refuses to be installed if the PICC.EXE client driver is not installed before using the PICD.EXE driver. The installation program INSTALL.EXE can be used to do the chores for you automatically. f. *** Failed in callback registration. There is a callback interface between the client driver PICC.EXE and the CD-ROM device driver PICD.EXE and only one callback interface is allowed. And this will also ensure only one copy of CD-ROM device driver can be installed in system. g. *** Cannot locate any CD-ROM drive. After the system boots up, the CD-ROM device driver searches for CD-ROM drives to install. It will abandon to load if there is not any CD-ROM drive connected to the system. You can use /R option to utilize plug and play function, the device driver will be installed to reserve one drive letter even the system does not connect any CD-ROM drive while the system boots up. II PCMCIA/IDE CD-ROM solution for OS/2 Warp II.1 CD-ROM Filter -------------------------------------- OS2PICD.FLT (PCMCIA/IDE CD-ROM Filter) -------------------------------------- This driver is a Client to support the PCMCIA Card/Socket services specifications, and it is also a CD-ROM filter to allocate the portable PCMCIA CD-ROM drive. You should install a Card/Socket services in the CONFIG.SYS file before the line this filter is installed. Installation Format: BASEDEV=OS2PICD.FLT [/P:xxx,yy] [/V] where [/P:xxx,yy] specifies the I/O port base and interrupt number that the Adaptor Card Services tries to allocate for this card in default. 'xxx' is the base address (hexadecimal notation) of IDE port. The permissible assignment of the base address are as 168, 1E8 and 170. 'yy' is the interrupt number (decimal notation) of the corresponding IDE port. The permissible interrupt number are 9, 10, 11, 12 and 15. [/V] verbose mode, displays the initialization message. ------------------------------------------------- INSTALL2.EXE (Installation Program for OS/2 Warp) ------------------------------------------------- This program will copy the device driver into the booting directory and automatically make changes to the system files. - END -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.
