Our company recently purchased 5 new Dell Latitude D600 laptops for our electrical engineers. We have some machinery in the field that requires PLC-500, PLC5, etc.. support. With the last generation laptops, we dual booted them with Win9x and Win2k, using the Win9x boot for the old DOS platform programs. The new laptops have no support for Win9x... drivers for USB, CardBus, etc. are just not available. I opted to go with dual boot... DOS 6.22 and Win2k.
All was well... serial port worked, communication is fine, and then they tell me the PCMK card has to work....(mild episode of hair pulling and utterances of four letter words.)
I have downloaded the CardWare DOS package and the pcmk utilities from AB. I have tried many different configurations of autoexec.bat and config.sys. I can see the CardBus (Siemens O2Micro 0Z711EC1) and the fact that there is a card in the slot, but I cannot "configure" the PCMK card so we can communicate with it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
