Troubleshooting for Windows Environment Appendix A Troubleshooting for Windows Environment And PCI CardBus Bridge Utilities These guidelines give you tips to deal with some problems on using Macsense Fast Ethernet CardBus Card. If the problems remain unsolved, please contact your dealer for assistance. Windows 95 OSR2 1. Ejecting the Macsense Fast Ethernet CardBus Card from the CardBus socket will hang or reboot the computer.
Appendix A Troubleshooting for Windows Environments Troubleshooting 5. Data transfer with the card is slow and unreliable. Solution: (1) Some computers with poor PCI bus latency may cause transmit FIFO underrun, therefore, some packets will be lost. Enable the store and forward property (refer to readme.txt under the \Win9X subdirectory of the driver diskette). (2) This problem can also occur with docking stations. If this is the case, please contact your computer manufacturer for a possible remedy.
Troubleshooting for Windows Environment There are three basic categories for PCI systems with respect to PCI-to-CardBus bridge support: Type description 1. The hardware and BIOS supports PCI-to-CardBus bridges. 2. The hardware supports PCI-to-CardBus bridges but the BIOS doesn't. 3. The hardware doesn't support PCI-to-CardBus bridges. For systems in the type 1 category, these utilities are not needed to configure the system as the BIOS will do this for you.
PCI to CardBus Bridge Utilities Appendix B PCI to CardBus Bridge Utilities Introduction The PCI-to-CardBus Bridge DOS Utilities are provided to be used on DOS PCI systems that do not have PCI-to-CardBus bridge (herein referred to as PCB) BIOS support. They are to be used to fill-in the gap there are to be used temporality until your system has another software for CardBus support (i.e. Card and Socket services).
Appendix B Error Messages of Enabler Programs PCI to CardBus where [optional switches] are: -h Get help screen -il INTERRUPT LINE Note: Use DECIMAL numbers for INTERRUPT LINE The default interrupt is 9 (when run with no switches). Example: This example shows the ADJIRQ command without switches. It has assigned IRQ 9 to the CardBus bridge. C:\> ADJIRQ +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | CardBus ADJIRQ V1.
PCI to CardBus Bridge Utilities This utility will enumerate all the PCI-to-CardBus bridges and configure CardBus devices that it finds in the target system.
PCI to CardBus Bridge Utilitys 3. MPB.COM This is actually a TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) utility that allows the user to transparently develop drivers or diagnostics for a CardBus device that might be behind a bridge. The utility will intercept the INT 1A BIOS call, and provide bridge support for the FIND_PCI_DEVICE and FIND_PCI_CLASSE requests and other BIOS services which are not aware of the new installed bus. Use this utility in cases where your BIOS fail to access PCI devices downstream the PCB.
PCI to CardBus Bridge Utilities line is routed to your CardBus bridge and run the STARTER.EXE with interrupt line override (STARTER -pi -il NN). If your PCI BIOS is rev 2.1, use ADJIRQ.EXE to route your selected IRQ to the CardBus bridge. Developing device drivers and diagnostics for a Digital's CardBus device that is downstream of a PCI-to-CardBus bridge (PCB) should be transparent.
