2.3.1 Installing the PCMCIA support for OS/2
a )
Switch off the PC
b )
Deactivate the BIOS extension firmware on the PCBoardCard with the appropriate
jumper and insert the card in an unused 16-bit ISA slot.
c )
Switch on the PC and start OS/2
d )
Choose System\Control Panel\Adapt installation and install PCMCIA support
as described in the OS/2 User Manual.
- Select the support for Intel 82365SL-compatible chipsets, i.e. install support for
IBM ThinkPad 750.
- Depending on the type of PC Card(s) used, select PCMCIA Hard Disk and/or
PCMCIA Flash.
Notes:
New drive letters are assigned after the hard disk partitions. This can shift the
drive letters for the CD-ROM and other removable media. PC Cards are installed
as removable media, allowing them to be exchanged without problems while the
operating system is running. One drive is normally created per PCBoardCard slot.
You can also assign several drives per slot for partitioned media with several
partitions (see OS/2 User Manual).
2.3.2 Using the altec BIOS extension under OS/2
The PCBoardCard is installed as described in 2.1.2 an configured as described in 2.1.3.
Add the following line to the CONFIG.SYS file using an editor:
BASEDEV=C:\OS2\BOOT\IBMINT13.I13
Shut down OS/2 and reboot the computer.
Notes:
The altec BIOS extension only supports ATA cards, i.e. the disk emulation only
supports C, D or Append. The PC Card must be inserted in either slot 0 or slot 1
before booting the operating system, and must not be removed while the
operating system is running. A new drive letter is created for each inserted PC
Card. The sequence of drive letter creation can be affected by the drive
configuration, since all primary partitions are assigned before assigning the
extended partitions.
