Checking for Card and Socket Services
(Windows 3.x Only)
!
Do not attempt to install Card and Socket Services if you are
using Windows NT, OS/2 Warp and Windows 95. These
operating systems already support PC Cards and may not
properly operate if you install additional Card and Socket
Serivces.
For installations with Windows NT, OS/2 Warp, Windows 95 and
MacOS System 7, proceed to
Plugging in the Card.
For installations with Windows 3.x, you must have Card and Socket
Services Release 2.1 (or higher) installed before using the modem. Card
and Socket Services are typically provided with your computer.
Card and Socket Services are device drivers that handle all of the detecting,
configuring and enabling of any compatible PC Card inserted into the
system. These device drivers are not specific to Simple Technology PC
Cards
and will support other PC Cards as well.
If you know that you already have Card and Socket Services Release 2.1
(or higher) installed, proceed to
Plugging in the Card.
If you do not know whether you have Card and Socket Services Release
2.1 (or higher) installed and you are using MS-DOS 5 and Windows 3.x,
refer to the documentation provided with your computer to determine if
Card and Socket Services Release 2.1 (or higher) are installed.
