II. Device Driver and Utility Usage of PCMCIA-ATAPI card
==============================================
PCMI80CL.SYS ( ATAPI/IDE PCMCIA Client Driver )
==============================================
This driver supports the PCMCIA 2.1+ Card/Socket services
specifications. It is mandatory to load this driver
before using the STATPCDM.SYS device driver. This device
driver is PCMCIA-ATAPI card specific. This driver support
both PMIDE-M17 and PMIDE-ASC type cards' I/O addressing
technique.
Adding in the enabling functions from release v5.0. If no
Card/Socket services is installed, the client service will then
turn on the socket based on the following syntax.
Installation Format:
Device = <path>\PCMI80CL.SYS [/Xn]
/Xn - Ignore the checking the card service version
1 -- ignore, 0 -- check( default )
/Pn - Set the enabler I/O port.
0 - 150( default ), 1 -160, 2 - 170.
/Qn - Set the enabler IRQ selection.
0 to 9 or A to F. A=10. F=15.
==============================================
STATPCDM.SYS( ATAPI/IDE CD-ROM device driver )
==============================================
This device driver requires the PCMI80CL.SYS client driver.
Install the PCMI80CL.SYS driver before the STATPCDM.SYS driver.
Installation Format:
Device = <path>\STATPCDM.SYS [/I:n] [/Qn] /D:<drive name>
/I:n - how many drive letter to be reserved for plug
and play purpose, when using this parameter
the CD-ROM drives will not be initialized when
system bootup. However, be sure the card is
inserted in the system boot up time to allow
Card/Socket/Client services to recognize the
existence.
n must be 1 - 2
Default value is 1 if n is not specified.
/Qn - Use Interrupt
1 -- yes( default ), 0 -- no, use polling
/D:<drive name> - specified the drive name for
MSCDEX to match
Defautl name is SCSIDE0
/A Displaying Pocket CD II logo
Please install MSCDEX.EXE in AUTOEXEC.BAT file as shown below:
MSCDEX /D:<drive name> /M:10
==============================================================
STATPFLP.SYS( IDE/ATAPI RHD, LS120, ZIP )
==============================================================
This device driver requires the PCMI80CL.SYS client driver to
support LS120, ZIP Floppy Drive.
Install the PCMI80CL.SYS driver before the STATPFLP.SYS driver.
Installation Format:
Device = <path>\STATPFLP.SYS
For diskette preparation, please use the DOS supported
FORMAT utilities. No partition capability supported.
III. Product Support List - Not all inclusive

IV. Technical tips
**************
Use this section as supplement to the Trouble Shooting section in the
manual.
a. If your notebook or desktop PCMCIA card reader is using the
Databook controller, be sure to edit the SuperClient Driver
inside the CONFIG.SYS as the following:
"device=c:\pcmcia\cardtalk.sys /iow=150-157 /iow=350-357"
This will exclude the Cardtalk( SuperClient ) driver to
check the io range between the 150-157 and 350-357.
b. If your notebook or desktop PCMCIA card read is using the
CARDWARE services, be sure to edit the CARDWARE.INI [Resources]
section as the following:
I/O=0x150,0x10,E,10
I/O=0x350,0x10,E,10
IRQ=15,E
c. If your notebook or desktop PCMCIA card read is using the
Cirrus Logic Socket service, be sure to exclude the IRQ 15
as the resource for card service. Consult the PCMCIA driver
manual to exclude the resouce.
d. From Sept. 30, 1996, new version of PCMCIA-ATAPI card( PMIDE-ASC )
is released, it's required to upgrade all of the drivers to the
revision level above to function correctly. However, new drivers
will recognize and function exactly the same as the older version
if you mixing the PMIDE-M17 hardware and new drivers.
e. To get the best performance from the LS120( 128 MB ) and ZIP ATAPI
Floppy Drive with PCMCIA-ATAPI card, please use the in-house designed
driver. Not all of the LS120 drive in the market support
the IDE Daisy-Chain function.
f. New PCMI80CL.SYS v5.0 and above come with the enabler support.
Drive shall turn on the socket controller if no Card/Socket services
installed.
I/O port and IRQ selections are programmable via parameters setting.
The new client driver is applicable for both STATPCDM.SYS and
STATPFLP.SYS.
h. STATPFLP.SYS v4.21 and above support slimline ZIP, slimline LS120
and Caleb 144 UHD as well.
