II.     Device Driver and Utility Usage of PCMCIA/CD-ROM card

        ==============================================
        PCMI80CL.SYS ( ATAPI/IDE PCMCIA Client Driver )
        ==============================================

          This driver supports the PCMCIA 2.1+ Card/Socket services
          specifications.  It is mandatory to load this driver 
          before using the STATPCDM.SYS device driver.  This device
          driver is PCMCIA/CD-ROM card specific.  This driver support
          both PMIDE-M17 and PMIDE-ASC type cards' I/O addressing 
          technique.  
		  Adding in the enabling functions from release v5.0. If no
		  Card/Socket services is installed, the client service will then
		  turn on the socket based on the following syntax.

          Installation Format:

                Device = <path>\PCMI80CL.SYS [/Xn]

                /Xn - Ignore the checking the card service version
					  1 -- ignore,  0 -- check( default )

				/Pn - Set the enabler I/O port.
					  0 - 150( default ),  1 -160,  2 - 170.

                /Qn - Set the enabler IRQ selection.
					  0 to 9 or A to F.  A=10.  F=15.

        ==============================================
        STATPCDM.SYS( ATAPI/IDE CD-ROM device driver )
        ==============================================

          This device driver requires the PCMI80CL.SYS client driver. 
          Install the PCMI80CL.SYS driver before the STATPCDM.SYS driver.

          Installation Format:

                Device = <path>\STATPCDM.SYS [/I:n] [/Qn] /D:<drive name>

                /I:n - how many drive letter to be reserved for plug
                       and play purpose, when using this parameter
                       the CD-ROM drives will not be initialized when
                       system bootup.  However, be sure the card is 
                       inserted in the system boot up time to allow
                       Card/Socket/Client services to recognize the
                       existence.
                      n must be 1 - 2
                      Default value is 1 if n is not specified.

                /Qn - Use Interrupt
				      1 -- yes( default ), 0 -- no, use polling	

                /D:<drive name> - specified the drive name for 
                      MSCDEX to match
                      Defautl name is SCSIDE0

        Please install MSCDEX.EXE in AUTOEXEC.BAT file as shown below:

                MSCDEX /D:<drive name> /M:10


III.    Product Support List - Not all inclusive

IV.     Technical tips
        **************

    Use this section as supplement to the Trouble Shooting section in the
    manual.


    a.  If your notebook or desktop PCMCIA card reader is using the 
        Databook controller, be sure to edit the SuperClient Driver 
        inside the CONFIG.SYS as the following:
     
		"device=c:\pcmcia\cardtalk.sys /iow=150-157 /iow=350-357"

		This will exclude the Cardtalk( SuperClient ) driver to 
        check the io range between the 150-157 and 350-357.

    b.  If your notebook or desktop PCMCIA card read is using the 
        CARDWARE services, be sure to edit the CARDWARE.INI [Resources]
        section as the following:
		I/O=0x150,0x10,E,10
		I/O=0x350,0x10,E,10
		IRQ=15,E
		
    c.  If your notebook or desktop PCMCIA card read is using the 
        Cirrus Logic Socket service, be sure to exclude the IRQ 15
        as the resource for card service.  Consult the PCMCIA driver
        manual to exclude the resouce.
		
    d.  New PCMI80CL.SYS v5.0 come with the enabler support.  It will turn
		on the socket controller if no Card/Socket services installed.
		I/O port and IRQ selections are programmable via parameters setting.
		The new client driver is applicable for STIDEHDD.SYS, STATPCDM.SYS 
		and STATPFLP.SYS as well.
		
    e.  Do not install any of the DOS 16 bit driver if running under 
		Windows 95 system.
