4-20 Using Your NEC Versa
CONFIG.SYS
You can disable all of the PCMCIA drivers that come preloaded in your
NEC notebook computer. However, doing so limits some of the flexibility of
PCMCIA. You can still use PC cards that have Enabler software, but you
can install and run only one at a time. The card must rely on the software
supplied by the card vendor (Enablers).
Disable the preloaded PCMCIA drivers by modifying the CONFIG.SYS file
as follows (in Windows for Workgroups).
1.
Select the File menu in Windows Program Manager.
2.
Select Run, type
sysedit
in the command line, and press
Enter
. This
should take you to the System Configuration Editor.
3.
Click on the CONFIG.SYS window and scroll down to the following
line:
====== CardWizard PCMCIA Device Drivers ======
4.
Type
rem
for "remark" in front of all lines showing PCMCIA device
drivers. This tells the operating system to ignore those lines.
5.
Save and exit the file.
6.
Reboot the system for the changes to take effect.
NOTE
By default, MTSRAM.exe and MTDRAM are remarked out.
Most applications, such as communications software, are not
PCMCIA aware. Make sure the card is inserted and ready before
using an application.
CardWizard Services
CardWizard, a software interface, manages the automatic allocation of sys-
tem resources in Windows NT and Windows for Workgroups systems. It
detects when a PC card is installed or removed. CardWizard also provides
an interface to other software in order to load any necessary hardware driv-
ers.
