 2.0   How to Install IBM PlayAtWill Installation Program
       --------------------------------------------------

       The DELL.EXE file that you received contains all the files required
       to install IBM PlayAtWill in a self-extracting format. To install IBM
       PlayAtWill you must first expand the the DELL.EXE file in to the
       component files and then invoke the DELL.EXE executable file to
       actually installs the IBM PlayAtWill components on your system.

       (a.) Start OS/2 4.0.
       (b.) Start an "OS/2 Window".
       (c.) Change the current directory to the directory containing the
            DELL.EXE file
       (d.) Type DELL at the OS/2 command prompt. This will extract all the
            files required for the "IBM PlayAtWill" installation. These
            installation files will be extracted to the current working
            directory.
       (e.) Type PCMINST2 at the OS/2 command prompt. This will invoke the
            "IBM PlayAtWill" installation utility.
       (f.) Follow the instructions on the screen.
       (g.) After completion of the installation utility, if desired, all the
            installation files located in the current working directory may
            be deleted.
       (h.) Restart the system after completing the installation.


 3.0   How to Run the IBM PlayAtWill Installation Program Utilities
       ------------------------------------------------------------

    The IBM PlayAtWill Installation Program Utilities for OS/2 are registered
    as objects in the "IBM PlayAtWill Installation Program" folder. You can
    see ICONs titled "IBM PlayAtWill Installation Program","ATA Mount
    Utility","Auto Configurator Utility", and "Supported PCCards". To start
    these utilities, click on an ICON.


    Refer to the README.CID installation instructions for installing the
    PlayAtWill Utilities for OS/2 with CID.


 4.0   Limitations
       -----------

    When utilizing cardbus cards, this code only supports the two (2) PCCard slots
    the base system unit. Non-Cardbus  (16-bit cards) function in all available
    slots (base system unit and docking station).


 5.0   Parameter Definitions
       ---------------------

  5.1  Socket Services

       /C0=z   : These parameters define the IRQ level to be used by the
       /C1=z     Socket Services driver. The new Card Services and Socket
                 Services drivers for OS/2 do not use a hardware interrupt
                 to notify the PCMCIA status change, so you do not need
                 these parameters.

       /IG0=y  : This parameter defines a slot number, which Socket Services
                 ignores. If you use the "Point enabler" supplied
                 with a PC Card, you should take into consideration the
                 coexistence with Socket Services.

                 For Example, "/IG0=1" defines that slot 1 is reserved for a
                 "Point enabler" and Socket Services will ignore the slot.

       /RI0=x  : This parameter defines a slot number, where Socket Services
                 disables the RI_OUT signal.
                 For Example, "/RI0=1" specifies slot 1.

       /D      : This parameter enables "Warm docking" from the
                 view point of PCMCIA hardware. By adding this parameter,
                 two additional PCMCIA slots are reserved for the docking
                 station.

       /APOFF  : This parameter turns off the Auto-Power Mode. If the
                 Auto-Power Mode is ON, a PC Card will be automatically
                 turned ON by the hardware when it is inserted.
                 The default for Auto-Power Mode is ON.

       /IO0=s  : This parameter defines the slot number, for which Socket
                 Services will change the way the -IOCS16 signal is generated.
                 By default, the -IOCS16 signal is generated based on the
                 -IOIS16 signal from the PC Card. If this parameter is
                 specified, the -IOCS16 signal is generated based on the
                 I/O data size which is specified by the Client program.
                 This option is needed for some cards which do not
                 generate the -IOIS16 signal. You need to verify
                 this information with PCMCIA card vendors.

                 For Example, "/IO0=1" specifies that the -IOCS16 signal
                 for slot 1 is to be generated based on the I/O data
                 size specified by the Client program.


  5.2  Card Services (PCMCIA.SYS)

       /R:200  : Specify that card services will conform to the PCMCIA 2.0
                 standard. This is the default value.

       /R:500  : Specify that card services will conform to the PCMCIA 5.0
                 standard instead of the PCMCIA 2.0 standard which is the
                 default value.

       /P      : In previous releases, this parameter disabled the hardware
                 interrupt which was used by OS/2 Socket Services drivers to
                 notify clients of a change in status.

                 Neither the new Card Services nor Socket Services drivers
                 for OS/2 use a hardware interrupt to signal PCMCIA status
                 changes. So this parameter is no longer needed.


 6.0   Using Point Enablers with the PC Card PlayAtWill Package
       --------------------------------------------------------

        Point Enabler Adapter card drivers are device drivers that support
        specific Adapter cards without requiring the use of the Card and
        Socket services provided in the PlayAtWill package.

        Problems using these Point Enabler device driver will occur when used
        in conjunction with the Card and Socket Services. The problem that
        must likely will occur is that the Point Enabler Adapter card will not
        function. The PC Card PlayAtWill will indicate that the Card Type is
        incorrect and the Status of the Card will be 'IN' instead of 'READY'.

        In order to use a Adapter card with Point Enabler Device driver a
        configuration parameter must be added to the Socket Service device
        driver entry in CONFIG.SYS. The parameter is as follows:

        /IG0=y  : Where 'y' defines the slot number that contains the Adapter
                  card using the Point Enabler Device Driver.

        After the system has been rebooted the slot specified in the
        configuration parameter will be ignored by Card and Socket Services
        allowing that slot to be used by Point Enabler device drivers.
        It also means the following:
          - the PlayAtWill program will not detect the insertion or
            removal of adapter cards in that slot
          - Adapter cards with device drivers that utilitize Card and
            Socket Services can no longer use that slot

        The following is a list of Adapter Cards that use Point Enabler
        Device Drivers:

        IBM 10/100 EtherJet Cardbus Adapter
        IBM 10/100 EtherJet Cardbus Adapter with 56K modem
        Intel PRO/100 Cardbus II
        Xircom CreditCard Ethernet Adapter II
        Xircom CreditCard Ethernet Adapter 10/100


 7.0   Hints
       -----

    - You can see current system resource information with RMVIEW.EXE program.
      The RMVIEW.EXE is a standard OS/2 utility program which is included in
      OS/2 Warp 4.0. To run this program, type "RMVIEW" at the OS/2 command
      prompt and press ENTER. You can see short help with "/?" option.

  7.1  Problems with Adapter Cards

    - If problems occur with an Adapter Card failing to work properly, there
      are two suggestions that may correct the problem:

      1. The adapter card may be using a Point Enabler device driver, in that
         case refer to Section 6.0 and set the /IG0=y parameter in the
         CONFIG.SYS entry for Socket Service Driver.


  7.2  Storage PC Cards

    - Before using a brand-new FLASH PC Card, you have to initialize the
      card with the FFORMAT.EXE, FCHECK.EXE, FFORMAT2.EXE or FCHECK2.EXE
      program.

    - If you see the following message :

          << Attention >>
          This card isn't supported formally
          It is possible that it doesn't work correctly

      while the FFORMAT.EXE, FCHECK.EXE, FFORMAT2.EXE or FFORMAT2.EXE
      program is running, the card will be formatted as if it has
      256KB-erase-zone size and the write/erase logic of INTEL 28F020
      or 28F010.

    - If you see the following message :

          The size of this card is too small for the card to be formatted

      while the FFORMAT.EXE, FCHECK.EXE, FFORMAT2.EXE or FFORMAT2.EXE
      program is running, the card can't be formatted because its size
      is too small to accept the transfer unit.
      (At least one transfer unit is required for FTL.)

    - You can't use the SRAM region of the IBM FLASH & SRAM combo card
      on OS/2 even if you install PCM2SRAM.SYS (SRAM device driver).
      The card appears to be a FLASH card if you install
      FLSH2MTD.SYS (FLASH memory technology driver), PCM2FLSH.SYS
      (FLASH device driver), or other drivers.

    - OS/2 Warp includes a flash memory card device driver that
      can enable only IBM flash memory cards. The flash memory card device
      driver in this IBM PlayAtWill Installation Program can't enable cards formatted with
      the one in OS/2 Warp.

    - In case of formatting two or more Storage PC Cards, you have to run and
      exit the FORMAT program for every card.
      You must not format two or more Storage PC Cards from a single
      invocation of FORMAT.

    - You can't use the DISKCOPY program for the Storage PC Cards drive.

    - If your PC has two or more PCMCIA slots, do not insert or remove a
      storage PC Card in the slot while you are executing DOS commands,
      such as FORMAT or COPY to a storage PC Card in another slot.

    - If your system has three or more PCMCIA slots, for example a
      notebook computer with docking station which has PCMCIA slots, the
      total number of PCMCIA slots which will be used for Storage PC Cards
      must be specified.  For example, if you have four PCMCIA slots:

        BASEDEV=PCM2ATA.ADD /S:4 /!DM /NOBEEP

  7.4  Others

    - For the Auto Configurator driver and Utility, please refer to the
      AUTODRV.DOC file for more detail.

    - For the PC Cards, please refer to the PCMCIA.CRD file for more
      detail on the support level.

    - For the PC Cards, sample installation/configuration files (CONFIG.SYS,
      AUTOEXEC.BAT, etc.) are available on your "IBM PlayAtWill Installation Program for OS/2"
      diskette. Please refer to the \SAMPLES directory on the diskette.

    - If you use a Docking Station with your notebook computer, the adapter
      cards or the devices in the docking station may use resources such as
      I/O port, memory window, IRQ.
      Exclude these resources from the usable area of the Card Services.
      To exclude resources from the usable area, RESERVE.SYS can be used.
      See  "4.0 For OS/2" (RESERVE.SYS) in this document.

    - Add /INT option if an error or a timeout occurs while ATA(HDD) card
      being used.

        DEVICE=...PAWATA.SYS /INT   or
        DEVICE=...PAWATAS.SYS /INT  or
        DEVICE=...PAWATASF.SYS /INT

      In this case 4KB memory window is required for every ATA(HDD) card.

    - If you have an Adaptec SCSI PCCard, find

                  'REM BASEDEV=AHA152X.ADD'

      in config.sys and change it to

                  'BASEDEV=AHA152X.ADD'.

    - If you have a Future Domain SCSI PCCard, find

                  'REM BASEDEV=FD16-700.ADD'

      in config.sys and change it to

                  'BASEDEV=FD16-700.ADD'.

 9.0   Restore
       -------
      If you wish to return your system to its original state (its state
      prior to PCCARD installation), you should follow the steps below.

      1) Copy all files in the backup directory to '\os2' directory on the
         boot drive.  The backup directory is a subdirectory of the
         PCCARD target directory for which you were prompted at install.
         The default target directory is '\ezplay'. For example,

               'copy c:\ezplay\backup\*.*  c:\os2'

         will restore all device drivers in the backup directory to the
         'c:\os2' directory.

      2) Rename the backup CONFIG.Sxx to CONFIG.SYS.

      3) Remove the PlayAtWill object from your desktop by dragging it to
         the shredder or by deleting it using other methods.
