Can anyone shed more light on exactly what all these drivers do? DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\IBMDSS01.SYS DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\IBMDOSCS.SYS DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\DICRMU01.SYS /MA=C000-C0FF DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\AUTODRV.SYS C:\THINKPAD\AUTODRV.INI DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\$ICPMDOS.SYS The documentation/readme/FAQ etc. give rather sparse explanations. I have successfully accessed my Xircom PCMCIA Ethernet adapter using only the first two drivers (IBMDSS01.SYS and IBMDOSCS.SYS). These, I take it, are for Socket Services and Card Services, and are required before any PCM card is recognized by the system. I coudn't seem to make the card work at all if I loaded DICRMU01.SYS, regardless of memory address used. [I made sure my memory manager eXcluded the same address.] I REM'd the last two (AUTODRV and $ICPMDOS) to conserve memory, since the system appears to work OK without them. Am I going to run into trouble later on if I neglect these last three? I will soon likely be using a PCM modem in addition to the Ethernet adapter. The system will invariably be using the AC adapter when the PCM cards are required, so I don't see the need for power management. Thanks for any help you can give me with this, Rick Saunders (rms@ca.dynix.com)
