Ensure that the entry FCPOINT.EXE is at the beginning (top) of your CONFIG.SYS
file. Otherwise, the address segment D000-D0FF must not be reserved by other
software (for example, EMM386). Add the parameter "X=D000-D0FF to the end of
the line containing EMM386 in the CONFIG.SYS file. As a precautionary measure,
save the original file CONFIG.SYS under another name before you make these
changes
In case other hardware is using the address segment D000-D0FF, you can specify
an alternative address for FCPOINT.EXE with the parameter /A. Example: For the
address segment C800-C8FF you would enter /AC8.
3.2 PCMCIA driver (DOS) error messages
When booting your computer, the driver can display the following error messages.
ERROR: [Drive] not found. (device dependent)
Cause: The drive was not recognized. Either the drive is not getting any power, the
Cable II was not properly initialized, or the drive is not working correctly.
Disconnect all devices then reconnect them again carefully and restart your
computer.
This problem can also occur if your computer already has two IDE controllers. The
FREECOM device can be operated at various addresses. To operate the device at a
different address, for example, 300h, add the parameter /P:300 to the end of the
line containing FCPOINT.EXE in CONFIG.SYS. In addition, add the same entry to the
end of the line of the PCMCIA driver (second FREECOM entry) for your special
device.
3.3 DOS driver for PCMCIA
Call:
device=[your device driver].SYS
after FCPOINT.EXE in the CONFIG.SYS file
Function:
Device-specific driver for the drive
Parameters: /P:xxx
Base address of the IDE port. Starting at this address the driver
requires 16 bytes free I/O space.
Note: You will find further parameters and information in the file info.txt
on the driver disk.
