Driver Keywords and Settings
If you are not using card services, your host system must have an Intel 82365 or compatible PC Card
controller chip. The driver then configures the PC Card controller chip directly, and each of the following
parameters should be specified in your configuration file.
Table 3-11 Adapter Keywords
Keyword Value Description
PORTBASE 0–0xFFFF (Optional)—Specifies the starting address for
a block of 32 consecutive 16-bit I/O ports.
Make sure the block of I/O addresses does not
overlap the address of another device in the
machine. This can be used to override a card
service assignment.
Default: 0x140 (if card services are not used)
The starting PORTBASE address must be on
an even 0x40 byte boundary.
PORT 0–0xFFFF Only valid in NET.CFG file (same as
PORTBASE).
INT 2–15 (Optional)— Specifies the hardware interrupt
the PC Card uses. The Interrupt must be
unique (not used by another device in the
machine). Use this keyword to override a card
service assignment.
Default: 11 (if card services are not used)
IRQ 2–15 Same as INT.
SOCKET 0–7 (Optional)— Ignored if card services are
used. If card services are not used, this is the
PC Card socket the PC Card is inserted in.
Default: 0
MEMORY 0xC000–0xDF00 (Optional)—Ignored if If card services are
used. If card services are not used, this is a
block of memory the driver uses to view the
PC Card CIS.
Default: 0xD000
In the NET.CFG file, the parameter is D0000,
not 0xD000.
MEM 0xC00–0xDF00 Same as MEMORY.
