Chapter 4 Utilities
DOS Utilities
Diagnostic Utilities
The following diagnostic utility ships with the drivers:
• PCMCIA.COM—turns the PCMCIA slot on so that the other utilities can access the adapter.
The utility also turns the slot off.
• RADINFO.EXE—displays the adapter’s radio statistics
DOS Utilities Running Environment
The DOS utilities run well under MS-DOS 6.22.
For the PCM350 and LM350 PCMCIA cards, the DOS utilities do not use card and socket services for
configuring the cards; they program the PCMICIA socket directly. Therefore, an 82365-compatible
socket controller is required for proper operation. Many, but not all, socket controllers have this
capability.
Note If a utility program does not run, use the PCMCIA.COM utility to turn the adapter’s slot on. After
you are finished running the utility programs, use PCMCIA.COM to turn the adapter’s slot off.
Layout and Format
Information on each utility in this section is presented in the following format:

-io#|-misa#|-isa# IO type, #={8|16}
-b [membase] Memory base address (hex) [D000:0]
