interface card in your PCMCIA sockets. Make sure the PCMCIA interface card
is inserted firmly.
|
|

|
|

argument in the ARICDI line of CONFIG.SYS.
|
|
|
Error:

of CONFIG.SYS to exclude at least 4K memory for mapping. For example,
|
|
|
|
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM286.EXE ... X=D000-D2FF
|
|
|
|

You should contact your dealer to get PCMCIA support software.

The above message means the PCMCIA controller for your system is not INTEL
82265SL compatible. In this case, you should install PCMCIA support
software that should be supplied by the notebook manufacturer.
|
|
|
CD-ROM
Drive is not found!
|
|
|
|
The above message means ARICDI.EXE can't find the PCMCIA CD-ROM drive.
Please make sure the CD-ROM drive is properly connected to the PCMCIA
interface card cable.
|
|
Error messages generated by MSCDEX.EXE:
|
|
|
Device
driver not found: 'MSCD001'
|
|
|
|
This means that ARICDI.EXE is not installed properly or you have entered a
different /D: switch in the MSCDEX line of AUTOEXEC.BAT. The /D: switch
must be the same as the /D: switch in the ARICDI.EXE line of CONFIG.SYS.
|
|
If the error message displayed is none of the above, please contact your
dealer to obtain customer support.
