On Dec 19, 1997, I told you about my problems with a Xircom CreditCard Ethernet Adapter 10/100 and Adaptec's SlimSCSI (1460A) in a TP760ED (see below). I asked several people, even IBMers, but no one could solve my problem. I spent a lot of time on it, and today I found a solution: On the Device Driver Pak Online Web Site is a driver named SS2PCIC.SYS which supports, among others, TI's 1130A CardBus Controller. And this is the Controller in my 760ED. So I removed IBM's drivers from my config.sys and loaded SS2PCIC.SYS /S0=1 instead: Now both the Xircom (in Slot 2) and the Adaptec work at the same time. I just wondered why IBM has an "official" driver for the 760ED that does not work in this case, whereas there's a generic BETA driver that works without problems. This was the mail I referred to: =========================================================================== Hi! A question about Socket Servives on OS/2 (Warp v4 on a TP760ED): On OS/2, there are 2 drivers for Socket Services: IBM2SS04.SYS is for R2-PCIC (whatever that means) IBM2SS14.SYS is for CardBus OS/2's online help tells me that "/s0=1" can be specified as a parameter in order to make the driver believe that there is only one sock$ possibilities (IBM2SS04, IBM2SS14 or both) with a 3com 3c589d inserted in socket 2 (and my Adaptec 1460 in socket 1). I thought that the 3com won't work when I found the right choice. But it worked. In any case, "Plug and Play for PCMCIA" detected 2 sockets. So I replaced the 3com with the Xircom. With choice 1 (IBM2SS04), it stopped booting when loading the Xircom driver. Same with choice 2 (IBM2SS14) and 3. rem-ing out IBM2SS14 makes the Xircom work, but then the Adaptec driver fails to load. rem-ing out IBM2SS04 makes the Adaptec work, but not the Xircom. Now, is there any way to have a PnP Card in one Socket and a card with direct enabler in the other? This is the relevant part from my config.sys: -------------------------------------------------------------------- 88: BASEDEV=PCMCIA.SYS 95: rem Socket Services (R2-PCIC): 96: BASEDEV=IBM2SS04.SYS /s0=1 97: rem Socket Services (CardBus): 98: BASEDEV=IBM2SS14.SYS /s0=1 100: BASEDEV=AUTODRV2.SYS 102: DEVICE=E:\OS2\BOOT\$ICPMOS2.SYS 134: CALL=E:\OS2\CMD.EXE /Q /C E:\MPTN\BIN\MPTSTART.CMD >NUL 135: RUN=E:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL\NBTCP.EXE 136: DEVICE=E:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL\NETBEUI.OS2 137: DEVICE=E:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL\TCPBEUI.OS2 138: DEVICE=E:\IBMLAN\NETPROG\RDRHELP.200 139: IFS=E:\IBMLAN\NETPROG\NETWKSTA.200 /I:E:\IBMLAN /N 140: DEVICE=E:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL\NETBIOS.OS2 142: DEVICE=E:\IBMCOM\MACS\CE3NDIS.OS2 385: BASEDEV=OS2SCSI.DMD 386: BASEDEV=AHA152X.ADD /V -------------------------------------------------------------------- Comments are welcome.
