What you need to get started
To begin using the VCE-PRO card, you need the following:
•
A computer with a PCMCIA slot that is Cardbus compliant.
•
Microsoft Windows XP or 2000 software.
•
A computer with a relatively up to date Cardbus-to-PCI chipset
( sometimes referred to as a ‘Cardbus Controller’ ). You can determine
which chipset your laptop uses by looking in:
Control Panel – System – Hardware – Device Manager – PCMCIA
Adapters
These chipsets are recommended because they generally offer better
performance in terms of DMA transfer rates:
TI
PCI-1520
TI
PCI-4510
These chipsets are discouraged because of their poor DMA
performance:
O2 Micro OZ6912
TI
PCI-1225
•
A computer with at least 256M bytes of RAM.
•
A CD drive, and a hard disk on which to install the VCE-PRO
software.
