Cards that Require Only

CARDTALK.SYS

The Super Client driver, CARDTALK.SYS controls the interface

between the computer and any PC Card you insert in a PCMCIA

socket. The cards described in this chapter work with CardTalk and the

drivers provided on the distribution diskette without requiring

additional software. These include:

• Fax/modem cards

• Special serial port cards

• ATA devices (rotating media, solid-state cards, such as SunDisk

cards and other solid-state ATA PC Cards)

• SRAM and Flash memory cards

• Read-only memory (ROM) cards

Other PC Cards may require software that is usually provided by the

manufacturer of the card. Chapter 5, Cards that Require Additional

Drivers, discusses using these cards.

Fax/Modem Cards

Originally designed to add communications capability to portable

computers, PC fax/modem cards are also being used with desktop

computers. For example, with a Card Reader installed, you can share a

single fax/modem card between your portable and desktop computers.

The Card Reader has its own speaker, which connect to the speaker

output of the fax/modem card.

This section discusses the operation of PC fax/modem cards when used

with CardTalk in both the MS-DOS and Windows environments.
