General problems
If you still have problems getting your FREECOM drive to function properly despite
having installed it correctly, then please check the following points:
Hardware requirements:
Does your system meets the hardware requirements? (see page 5)
Connecting the FREECOM device:
Is the Cable II correctly connected to your computer and the FREECOM device?
Check if the Cable II is plugged in correctly. The Cable II must be firmly seated!
Is the drive getting power? Determine if the medium can be ejected and if the
device is getting power when the system boots.
System settings:
Do not use any memory manager such as QEMM
Disable the system's power management.
Setting options under DOS
If you cannot access drives (floppy disk, CD) after booting, please check the
following:
Are the entries for the Cable II driver FCPOINT.EXE and the device drivers
present in the startup files and have they been correctly installed?
Do the drivers display error messages during the boot procedure which indicate
possible causes?
Has a formatted disk been inserted?
Has the DOS command LASTDRIVE been set to make a sufficient number of
drive letters available? (for example, insert "LASTDRIVE=Z" into the CONFIG.SYS
file)
3.1 FCPOINT.EXE (DOS) driver error messages
When booting, the driver FCPOINT.EXE can display the following error messages.
ERROR: There is no PCCARD...
ERROR: The PCCARD in socket x is not a FREECOM PCCARD
The card has not been plugged in correctly or is defective. Remove the card from
the socket, plug it in again as far as it will go and then restart your computer.
