What exactly did you install when you installed the PCMCIA card? I dont see why
it doesn't work with SIO.
All you should have installed is the PC Card Director version 4.12. It adds a bunch
of drivers in the config.sys which ofcourse most people don't need and must rem'out.
For example, PC Card Director installed the following:
rem PC Card Director 4.12 (pcmcia support)
BASEDEV=PCMCIA.SYS
BASEDEV=IBM2SS14.SYS
BASEDEV=AUTODRV2.SYS
rem DEVICE=D:\THINKPAD\VPCMCIA.SYS
rem DEVICE=D:\THINKPAD\PCMSSDIF.SYS
rem DEVICE=D:\THINKPAD\PCM2SRAM.SYS
rem DEVICE=D:\THINKPAD\FLSH2MTD.SYS
rem DEVICE=D:\THINKPAD\PCM2FLSH.SYS
rem BASEDEV=PCM2ATA.ADD /S:2 /!DM /NOBEEP
rem BASEDEV=OS2PCARD.DMD
DEVICE=D:\THINKPAD\$ICPMOS2.SYS /G
As you can see i've rem'ed most of the drivers since they are for devices that i don't
have. You have a memory card, so you should NOT rem out some of them! You'll have
to play around and see which one is the one that you want. The ones that i haven't
remed out are required so dont touch them.
(for example the PCM2ATA and OS2PCARD are for harddrives etc)
(VPCMCIA is for dos support, i use PROTECTONLY=YES so i dont need it)
(the PCM2SRAM is for SRAM cards, and PCM2FLSH is for FLASH cards)
Now go to the PC Card Director folder, and double click on "Auto Configuration Utility"
which should give you two lists of pcmcia cards. Remove the default ones which are
for modems only. See if you can find your own in the list, if it exists add it.
I hope this helps.
PS:
make sure all these drivers are at the bottom of the config.sys to avoid any
conflicts,maybe that could solve the prolem with SIO.
