Fiddled with AUTODRV2 and discovered how to set up hot-swapping for Etherjet card. Hot swapping of Kodak Compact Flash card already enabled. A great plus - IF I can get the rest working! Confirmed that PC Card Director, both slots and cards are all working fine. Uninstalled all protocols, and the adapter itself, then reinstalled. Left most defaults in place. Next boot - NEW MESSAGES!

Read Me for the card says/implies that Socket reference is used when you use 2 different cards in the various slots, but having tried all permitted values from 1 to 4 without success, I can't figure out how to eliminate any reference to Sockets and just get the flaming thig to boot. No NDIS driver means no network commands in Config.sys will run, so boot process stops dead - no Desktop, nothing. Have spent a lot of time at the command line editing files - Tedit has become familiar again, and I really DO like the 390E keyboard. I just wish this was not the way I was coming to appreciate its good points. Further help requested please.

This means you need to set the switch so that socket services ignores the slot you elect to put the card in. As long as your I/O and IRQ settings are correct in protocol.ini, the card will then normally work. Cheers/2 Ed.

Tried it though with both CS20JET.EXE and POINTJET.EXE but to no avail. eCS boot sequence didn't get as far as loading the DEVICE= POINTJET.EXE before the other entries (mostly BASEDEVs) were processed. The docs say that it must be loaded first. As I recall Point enabled, it seems to be an alternative to using card and socket services, which I understand to be supplied by PC Card Director or at least the config.sys lines: BASEDEV=PCMCIA.SYS BASEDEV=IBM2SS14.SYS BASEDEV=AUTODRV2.SYS DEVICE=C:\TPTOOLS\VPCMCIA.SYS DEVICE=C:\TPTOOLS\PCMSSDIF.SYS DEVICE=C:\TPTOOLS\PCM2SRAM.SYS DEVICE=C:\TPTOOLS\FLSH2MTD.SYS DEVICE=C:\TPTOOLS\PCM2FLSH.SYS BASEDEV=PCM2ATA.ADD /S:2 /!DM /NOBEEP >Often (as documented in the socket services package) network cards are point enabled. >This means you need to set the switch so that socket services ignores the slot you >elect to put the card in.

Protocol.ini has settings (which I reported prev as Memory Address 5B80 0000 IO Address F500 IRQ 5) but has no provision for the kinds of IO and Memory addresses shown in the docs. The only place I see those (200 to 360, and D0000 to D4000) is in the Script files for AutoDrv2 hot-swapping. so I still don't know what I am doing wrong on the 390E.
