identifies the section in the PCM+ configuration file
(
pcm.ini
) that should be loaded as the default.
z
pcm.ini
is the configuration file for the PC cards.
z
pcmata.sys
is an ATA-IDE device driver. It communicates with the
pcmcs.exe
driver to allow the system to access ATA-configured PC
cards.

pcmcs.exe
is the card-services driver. Required for all PC cards, it
provides an interface between applications and the socket services. It also
manages resource allocations for the PC cards.
z
pcmscd.exe
is referred to as the superclient driver. It uses the
pcm.ini
file to configure and request system resources for generic PC
cards as well as specific cards that have been included in the
pcm.ini
file. Some PC cards will have specific client drivers to handle
configuration;
pcmscd.exe
should not be used with those cards.

is the socket-services driver. Required for all PC cards, it
provides an interface to the PC card hardware.
