SCM Smart Card
I have an SCM Smart Card from 1996 which runs under DOS and Win3.1.
On Win98 (dual boot) it found the card reader and I installed it. It knows when the card is removed and the card reader itself beeps when w98 comes up. But it does not create any drive letter for using the PCMCIA card. I use it so infrequently that I just wait until I'm in DOS, but it is annoying. - = - Vasos Panagiotopoulos, Columbia'81+, Reagan, Mozart, Pindus, BioStrategist http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/vjp2/vasos.htm ---{Nothing herein constitutes advice.

We cannot expect Win98 to manage pre-98 devices (e.g. to display your Smart Card as a pseudodrive) unless a device driver is loaded to enable this. There are a few "generic" USB freeware drivers that may reward experiment. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

Is the PCMCIA controller installed as a W98 device? If it's not, that's
where you need to start. Check the specifications for your machine and find the drivers for W98 from the manufacturer. There are probably only two options for a machine of that era. Alternatively, load the PCMCIA drivers that you are using in the DOS boot from the W98 CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT - that should give you access to the card as a DOS device (although it might require the card to be inserted at boot time in order to get a drive letter). -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) wrote in message ...

Note that this query has nothing to do with USB and the generic USB drivers
are not going to help.. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "Don Phillipson" wrote in message ... snip We cannot expect Win98 to manage pre-98 devices (e.g. to display your Smart Card as a pseudodrive) unless a device driver is loaded to enable this.

SCM Smart Card
Many thanks. I have to dig up the disks from SCM.
I was really surprised when W98 knew what SCM was. The Drivers I have under DOS and Win3 have to swapped in and out of the config.sys file, because of device conflicts, which meant I sreaded to use them. - = - Vasos Panagiotopoulos, Columbia'81+, Reagan, Mozart, Pindus, BioStrategist http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/vjp2/vasos.htm ---{Nothing herein constitutes advice.

I think I found the problem: IRQ conflict.
Not sure. Working on it. Not sure i know how to fix. - = - Vasos Panagiotopoulos, Columbia'81+, Reagan, Mozart, Pindus, BioStrategist http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/vjp2/vasos.htm ---{Nothing herein constitutes advice.

You will probably fix an IRQ conflict by using a parameter in the driver
line in config.sys for one of the devices, that forces it to a different IRQ. But if that option doesn't exist it may be difficult. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) wrote in message ...

If you don't need it, disable it in BIOS and maybe the IRQ that is released
can be used when installing the other devices. If you want to get it working you'll need to provide more details. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) wrote in message ...

SCM Smart Card
Well, the thing that got me playing with the SCM setting was that I
could not get my PC to talk to my Palm Pilot (never, for four years). I found out it was because it was COM1 not COM2. Meanwhile I unsinstalled the SCM PCMCIA from W98 and it killed my modem (COM4) as well. So I then reinstalled SCM, PCMCIA (one device, three windows settings) ***AND*** my modem to baisc config 0 then "auto config" and the modem came back. I also found the SCM software disk that came with the drive and it used SystemSoft CardSoft 3.1 ca 1994. So I'm ahead on the palm pilot, not sure on the camera (how do I change port on DSC1000?), even on the modem, even on SCM, and one step back in that NetZero says it is corrupted. (I had this problem once before and know it is usually setting, not corrution.) - = - Vasos Panagiotopoulos, Columbia'81+, Reagan, Mozart, Pindus, BioStrategist http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/vjp2/vasos.htm ---{Nothing herein constitutes advice.
