J1 and J2 are HPDB68 pin connectors, identical to those used on Fast/Wide drives. The cable is 68 pin .025 pitch. My Reader has a slightly different chip layout, but the SMD capacitors, the oscillator, controller, and the J1 / J2 connectors are in the same place. If you are using OS/2 version 3, install the ThinkPad 720 PCMCIA drivers... The PS/2 E is an ISA machine... Duh! PlayAtWill

not operate in a slot
A PCMCIA card does
not operate in either port
An error message
Invalid Drive Letter appears.
Insert the following statement in the CONFIG.SYS before any device driver statements: lastdrive = # where # equals the letter of the last drive in the system. You must include two letters for the adapter and letters for all of the previously configured drives. DOS Configuration Example DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\DOS\SETVER.EXE
The CONFIG.SYS File DOS CONFIG.SYS
DEVICE=x The letter x
specifies the Socket Services already installed on the computer.
/baseslot=n This option sets the base slot address, where n specifies whether the address begins at (0) or (1). The default is 1. Set this switch to 0 only if you have a problem addressing the slots. If a value other than 0 or 1 is specified, this switch is ignored and the default setting is restored. /stbtime=n This option enables the standby mode, where n specifies the number of minutes that will elapse before the card goes to standby mode. The minimum value is 5 minutes, the maximum is 20 minutes. If a value greater than 20 is specified, this switch is ignored. All sockets are effected when you set this switch. (This feature does not support solid state cards.) OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file sequence
BASEDEV=OS2DASD.DMD
switch options for the main
device driver
/s:n This option recognizes the PCMCIA sockets, where n specifies the number of physical PCMCIA sockets available. The default is 2 sockets, the maximum is 4 sockets. /i:m This option
ignores specific PCMCIA sockets, where m specifies the logical socket number
to be ignored. Multiple settings are allowed. This feature is useful when
a Type III card physically occupies two sockets.
/stbtime:n This option enables the standby mode. (Same as described above for DOS stbtime option) /b This option specifies the OS/2 operating system to start (boot) from the PCMCIA-ATA card. If you specify this option, then PCMCIA.ADD module decreases the number of sockets specified by the /s switch because the startup PCMCIA-ATA card is treated as an internal IDE hard disk, not a PCMCIA-ATA card. When the OS/2 operating system starts (boots) from the PCMCIA-ATA card, if you use the /s:4 option w/o the /b option, the disk assigned to the last drive-letter will not be assigned to any physical socket. (To make this PC Card a bootable PC Card, see the documentation that came with the OS/2 operating system.) Notes About the /b Option

PCMCIA Cards:
There are three types
of PCMCIA cards, arraigned by size. The function of each type is only restricted
by its size.
Type I -3.3mm thick SRAM
or EEPROM memory cards.
Type II -5.0mm thick cards that
allow more complex functions than the Type I cards. Type II PCMCIA cards
include SCSI adapters, sound cards, modems, network adapters, and interface
cards for external devices
Type III -10.5mm thick cards that
are most often hard drives.
Software
Software Drivers:
There are several layers of software drivers that allow the PCMCIA card
and slot to function with the computer. These software drivers allow the
applications and user to make use of the PCMCIA hardware. Which drivers
are needed depends on the card, and the drivers used.
Card Services
Card Services works with the operating system to allocates memory, interrupts
and other system resources to the card and drivers.
PCMCS.EXE Phoenix DOS Card Services
IBMDOSCS.SYS Yamato (IBM) DOS Card Services
PCMCIA.SYS OS/2 2.1 Card Services
Socket Services
Socket Services provides a low level
interface for the socket hardware. Socket Services accepts configuration
information from Card Services, and reads low level card configuration
data from the PCMCIA card.
PCMSS Phoenix Socket Services
IBMDSS01.SYS Yamato (IBM) AT bus DOS Socket Services
IBMDSS02.SYS Yamato (IBM) MCA Socket Services
IBM2SS01.SYS Yamato (IBM) AT bus OS/2 Socket Services
Client and Super Client Enablers
Client Enablers can configure one specific card for use as a standard peripheral
device. A Client Enabler is specific to the card it is written for, and
works the same as a driver for that device. Super Client Enablers have
the ability to recognize and configure a wider range of cards (two or more).
ESTDFM.EXE IBM Modem Client Enabler
MEGAHZ.EXE Megahertz modem Client Enabler
PCMSCD.EXE Phoenix Super Client Driver
AUTODRV.SYS Yamato Super Client Driver
Point Enablers
Point Enablers bypass Socket and (or) Card services and function as a Client
Enabler. Point Enablers can save memory if one is available for the card,
and matches the socket controller. Point Enablers will usually not work
with each other, or other PCMCIA drivers. (There are no universal Point
Enablers! Each is designed for a specific card, and must be provided by
the manufacturer.)
Other Drivers
Some sets
of PCMCIA drivers have additional drivers or utilities that take care of
one part or another of the complete job. Some PCMCIA drivers, like the
IBM-Yamato drivers, require POWER.EXE to be loaded before any of the PCMCIA
drivers. The IBM drivers also have a Resource Map Utility that lets you
tell the drivers which part of the excluded memory to use;
DICRMU01.SYS ISA Resource Map Utility (IBM)
DICRMU02.SYS MCA Resource Map Utility (IBM)
"Universal" PCMCIA Drivers
ThinkPad 350, 360, 510, 720, 750, 755, and PS/Note 425 all have compatible
hardware. These models can use the Yamato PCMCIA drivers with EasyPlay.
The file TPPCMCIA.EXE, will create an install disk for the Yamato drivers
and EasyPlay. The file can be downloaded from the Internet.
Card Memory Requirements
PCMCIA
Card Services requires 4K to load and function. Some PCMCIA cards will
not make any other requirements, but some do. Modems and most memory
cards do not need any more memory. The memory that is needed has to be
set aside in the CONFIG.SYS file. To exclude 4K for Card Services, the
EMM386 line may look like this:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE X=B000-BFFF
For a system with
an IBM Ethernet PCMCIA adapter, 16K needs to be set aside,;
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE X=D400-D7FF
The exclude range will need to be increased if a PCMCIA card is installed
that needs more memory reserved for it. Here are some of the common
memory requirements that would need to be added to
Card Services 4K;
IBM Token Ring card 16K RAM + 8K ROM = 24K
IBM Ethernet = 16K
IBM 3270 card = 8K

CardBusConsiderations
With all CardBus cards- check with the vendor
of your card for information on operating systemsupport and drivers required.
DOS, Windows 3.x, OS2, andWindows NT, do not have CardBus support built
in. Only Windows 95 OSR/2 andlater, (including Windows 98), natively support
CardBus cards. In order to have CardBus support in other operating systems,
another software elementis needed, such as Card and Socket Services, point
enabler, or OEM driver. Observe Controller list above- machines that support
CardBus are denoted by the controller.
760Eseries
The 760E ThinkPads are hardwareCardBus capable, but at the time of their
release, software support was not available. The 760E series shipped with
Windows 95 Release OSR0 whichdoes not provide native CardBus support. The
current IBM drivers, CardSoft CardWorks, is not compatible with OSR0. At
the time of this writing,the only other retail available version of Windows
9X is Windows 98. The only alternative to Windows 98 for CardBus support
for the Windows 95 platformmay be an OEM CardBus driver specifically designed
to support your versionof Windows 95 if the vendor of the card provides
it.
380 series
The 380/E - 385/E series do not have card
bus support directly on the machine, however, these machinescan be used
with the Enhanced Port Replicator 11J8997 which does provideCardBus support.
Be sure to check the version of 95 installed for CardBus support (see next
section)
Installing the appropriate PCMCIA drivers for Windows 95
If you are installing a version of Windows 95 other
than the preloaded operating system image, it may be necessary to install
files from a Windows 95 Supplement FileDisk in order to enable proper PCMCIA
support. Even though Windows 95 providesnative PCMCIA support, additional
files may be necessary on your system.Please see the list of drivers for
your system. If there is a SupplementalFile disk listed, check that disk's
readme file.
The following versions of Windows 95 are available:
- Retail Release Version(OSR0)
- Service Pack Version 1(OSR1)
- OEM Service Release Versions2 and 2.1 (OSR2.x)
The OSR0 is an off-the-shelf version of Windows 95 and is available at
any retail store.
The OSR1 can be downloadedfrom the Microsoft Internet home page (http://www.microsoft.com).
The OSR2-1 is available onlyas preloaded versions. Your computer may incorporate several new devices that were not available when these versions of Windows 95 were announced,take special precautions when installing or reinstalling these versions.
Your Version of Windows95:
You can check which versionof Windows 95 you are using
by clicking on Start and moving thecursor to Settings and Control Panel,
and then double-clickingon Control Panel and System.
You can check the version in this window. Read the numbers under "System".
4.00.950 means that it isWindows 95 OSR0.
4.00.950a means that itis Windows 95 OSR1
4.00.950B means that itis Windows 95 OSR2.x
Card Soft PCMCIA DriverDiskette for Windows 95
Most models that were preloaded with Windows OSR2
or 2.1 use Card Soft CardWorks. Currently CardWorks is not backwards compatible
with the retail version of Windows 95 (OSR0).CardWorks currently supports
only Windows 95 (OSR2). Please use nativemode support if you need to use
Windows 95 (OSR0). Of course, using nativeWindows 95 (OSR0) support will
disallow use of some of the special features and advantages of the CardWorks
product (e.g. Zoom Video support, CardSoft support).
Windows 95
Viewing PCMCIA sockets in Device Manager:
1. Select Start+Settings+ControlPanel.
2. Select System Icon.
3. Select Device ManagerTab.
4. Click on the + symbolnext to the PCMCIA Socket Entry.
5. Review the table belowfor the proper entry there.
