Subject: PC Cards Tested Under CardSoft
_________________________________________________________________________
The following is a list of PC Cards (PCMCIA cards) which Toshiba of Canada has successfully
tested in its notebook computers, using CardSoft Card and Socket Services, MS-DOS 6.22, and
Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11.
All network cards were tested in a Novell Netware 4.10 environment. Some settings may have to
be revised to work in the user's environment.
All serial devices were tested as COM2 (i.e.. only one of the notebook computer's onboard serial
ports was enabled).
In general, the user should first attempt to install the card and software (if applicable) following the
instructions in the manual provided with the card. If the user experiences trouble, he may wish to
refer to the notes, under the headings for each card, listed below, or view the README file (in the
CARDWIZ directory).
EMM386.EXE Excludes
-------------------
The user should edit the EMM386 line in CONFIG.SYS to exclude any range used by CardSoft, in
configuring the user's PC Card. CardSoft uses the range D200-D3FF for its own purposes,
in addition to any ranges being used for the PC Cards.
As a starting point, the user might want to exclude the entire D000-DFFF range, and then trim it back,
to the minimum range needed, after the PC Card has been successfully configured. The following is
an example of an EMM386 line in CONFIG.SYS, with the D000-DFFF range excluded:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D000-DFFF
Built-in Sound Card I/O Address and IRQ
---------------------------------------
For machines which have a built-in sound card, move the base address of the sound card away
from I/O 220H, if using:
(1) a Token-Ring adapter, at I/O A20H
or
(2) a PC Card ATA type device (such as a hard disk drive) in
an Enhanced Port Replicator or Desk Station
Also, the built-in sound card must be set to an IRQ other than IRQ5, to have the various PC Cards
work as outlined in the configurations set out in this document.
The base address and IRQ setting of the sound card can be selected within the machine's System
Setup (accessible through TSETUP.EXE).
CardWiz CONFIG.EXE Settings
---------------------------
"CardWiz Network Card Configuration" and "CardWiz Modem Card Configuration" refers to the
settings in the DOS-based CardSoft configuration utility "CONFIG.EXE" (in the CARDWIZ directory).
The following are the settings used, unless otherwise noted, under the headings for each card.
CardWiz Network Card Configuration (for Token-Ring)
---------------------------------------------------
IO A20, IRQ 5, MEM1 D800, MEM2 DC00
[X] Fast Token Ring (to enable 16Mbps as ring speed)
CardWiz Network Card Configuration (for other than Token-Ring)
--------------------------------------------------------------

Insert Olicom DISK 1 and type a:setup, choose "Express Install, Netware Client" and follow
instructions. Configure the card for 16Mbps in the installation. In CardSoft, Config ensure that the
Network Card Configuration is set to "[X] Fast Token Ring" for 16Mbps ring speed. In TSETUP on
420CDT, have sound set to I/O=240, IRQ=10. To avoid COM conflicts in WFW then modify the
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.INI as follows assuming that the modem settings are COM2, IRQ3,
I/O=2F8:
[386Enh]
...
COM2Base=02F8

The Token-Ring/fax/modem card is also supported under WINDOWS 95. This has been successfully
tested on the Satellite 110CT. To configure the card under WINDOWS 95, insert the card, WINDOWS 95 will
prompt for a driver provided by the manufacturer. Insert Olicom DISK 3, insert appropriate WINDOWS 95
disks (1,2,12,13,7). WINDOWS 95 will set the following configuration in the Control Panel, System, Device

IBM 3270 Emulation Credit Card Adapter
======================================
Edit CSALLOC.INI (in CARDWIZ directory), to change MEMEXCLUDE range C000-CFFF to
C000-CDFF.
CardWiz Network Card Configuration:
IO 2D0, IRQ 5, MEM1 CE00, MEM2 DC00
Tested with "IBM Personal Communications/3270 Version 4.0 for DOS (Entry-Level Mode)"
software installed.
IBM 5250 Emulation PCMCIA Adapter
=================================
This adapter is configured to use an enabler (the software does not recognize card and socket
services). However its enabler
can peacefully coexist in a machine with CardSoft Card and Socket Services installed. The user
must be careful to avoid a conflict between the enabler's and CardWiz's configuration settings
(both memory range and IRQ setting). The user should also make sure that any memory range
used by this card is excluded in the EMM386 line in CONFIG.SYS.
Note: when installing the enabler, the user is prompted for the slot number that the adapter is
installed in. The numbering convention used by the enabler software is not the same as Toshiba
uses. The enabler refers to slot 1 and 2, whereas Toshiba has called them slot 0 and 1, respectively.
Adaptec SlimSCSI APA-1460
=========================
Install the software provided on the diskettes with the card.
SONY PRD-155SB CD-ROM and 16 bit stereo sound box PC Card
=========================================================
This card was tested successfully in a Toshiba Satellite 110CT, with BIOS 5.10. CardSoft has
been installed by factory installation. DO NOT CONFIGURE the SONY card within CardSoft. Install
"PRD-155SB Installation Software Ver 1.2 disk 1", run "A:INSTALL" from within Windows, select all
defaults (Irq=5, SB Port=220, Midi=none, CD Port=230, Game port=200, Adlib port=388). The
config.sys and autoexec.bat will be modified as follows. The sound box/cd-rom has the following
ports: midi/joystick, mic, line-in, phones, volume dial. The CD-ROM is 2X speed.

manufacturer. Insert disk labelled "CD-ROM Discman Windows 95 Drivers Disk Ver 1.00" into
drive a:. Control Panel, System, Device Manager, Sound, video and game controllers will report
"DSP Solutions Multimedia Card (TM) Version 6.0" using IRQ=15, I/O=0200-023F and I/O=0330-0331
