Additional cards may be approved. Contact a PSC representative for
information.
Fax/Modem
Cards
The Falcon should recognize any generic fax/modem PC card. Fax/modem PC
cards are configured to use COM2, I/O address 2F8h, and IRQ 3. Be aware
that many of these cards tend to use a large amount of power and can quickly
drain the batteries. The following fax/modem card is approved for use on the
Falcon:
Viking Components 36.6K PC Card Modem.
LAN Cards
LAN cards require assignment of an I/O window, a memory window, and an
IRQ. If the LAN card will be configured by the superclient driver
(
pcmscd.exe
), additional entries to the
pcm.ini
file will be necessary.
Many LAN cards come with their own resource-management system and do
not require the
pcmscd.exe
driver.
RF Cards
Because of the special requirements of RF environments, PSC is distributing
Falcon RF units to qualified customers only. Please contact a PSC
representative to see if a specific location is qualified.
PC Card Drivers
To attain compatibility with as many PC cards as possible, the Falcon utilizes
card and socket services supplied by Phoenix Technologies. These card and
socket services are implemented as installable device drivers and are loaded
using the
DEVICE=
command in the
config.sys
file.
The Falcon does not support fax/modem cards with XJack connectors.
Because of the Falcon’s memory-handling properties, some LAN cards may not work.
Please contact PSC prior to purchasing a LAN card.
