3 SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
The PCD2-F card drive includes a DOS PCMCIA card and socket services library called
Cardsoft, from Systemsoft. The PCD2-F also comes with Cardview, a PCMCIA control and
maintenance utility for Microsoft Windows. PC Cards can easily be configured while in
Microsoft Windows since the PCD2-F works side by side with Cardsoft. Windows 95 does not
require Cardsoft or Cardview.
Note: be sure to complete the hardware installation instructions of your PCD2-F before
proceeding with the software installation.
3.1 INSTALLATION FOR DOS AND WINDOWS 3.1x
1. Start the PC. Insert the Cardsoft diskette into drive A: or
drive B:.

select File, then Run and then type "A:\install" or "B:\install" at the command line
prompt and press <Enter>. DOS users type "A:\install or "B:\install" from the DOS
prompt and press <Enter>.

problems occur.

warning screen similar to the one shown in figure 2 will appear along with the
appropriate DEVICE line changes for the memory manager.
If a screen like the one shown in Figure 2 appears, write down the displayed device line. Upon
the completion of the Cardsoft installation, change the memory manager device line to the one

The Cardsoft 3.1 Install Utility has detected the presence of the
EMM386 memory manager. In order for the Cardsoft 3.1 to
function properly, certatin ranges of memory need to be excluded
from this memory manager. If you wish to ensure proper functionality
of the Cardsoft 3.1 drivers, we suggest you add the switch
X=D000-DFFF. After this installation is complete, please edit
the line in your CONFIG.SYS file to appear as below
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386 NOEMS X=D000-DFFF
