PCMCIA
The VXIpc-850 uses the 82092AA PCI to PCMCIA/Enhanced IDE
Controller (PPEC) from Intel for its PCMCIA interface, providing hot
swappable support for two PCMCIA devices.
The VXIpc-850 supports Type I, II, and III PCMCIA cards in its upper
slot and Type I and II PCMCIA cards in its lower slot. This allows you
to have a Type II and a Type III PCMCIA card in your system at the
same time.
Installing the PCMCIA Software
Perform the following steps to install the PCMCIA driver.
1.
The software required for a PCMCIA interface, known as card-
and- socket services, is provided by SystemSoft C orporation .
National Instruments includes CardWizard to users who order the
VXIpc-850 with DOS/Windows 3.1 . CardWizard is a complete
package of card-and-socket services with built- in diagnostic
capabilities to help diagnose common PCMCIA problems.
CardWorks is a Windows 95 application that supplements the
PCMCIA support already in Windows 95. It also provides
diagnostic services.
2.
An image of the SystemSoft CardWizard or CardWorks
installation disk is provided in
c:\images\pcmcia
. You run
SETUP from that directory . Because that directory is an image of
the installation disk, the setup utility actually creates a new
directory for its run-time files.
The VXIpc -850 Peripherals User Manual contains the complete
PCMCIA documentation.
