     CardSoft 3.1 Software Notes   
     ---------------------------

     MEMORY MANAGERS
 
	When using a memory manager you must exclude a memory range 
	needed for the CardSoft software.  It is optimal to exclude a 64K 
	range.  For example, if using EMM386, the device line listed in 
	the CONFIG.SYS file should appear as follow:

			DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE X=D000-DFFF

	(where X=D000-DFFF excludes the memory range D000-DFFF).



     TDK CD02x ETHERNET CARDS (Preliminary)

	If you wish to use the TDK CD02x Ethernet card with CardSoft 3.1,
	it is necessary to make one small change to enable this card.  In
	the subdirectory where CardSoft is installed, a file exists called
	CARDID.INI.  Edit this file and add the following line to the 
	[Libraries] section:

			CardLib=TDKLAN2.CLB

	Save the CARDID.INI file and reboot your system.



     ADVANCED POWER MANAGEMENT

	If your system is designed to conserve battery life through the 
	use of Advanced Power Management drivers, it may be necessary to
	load the CardSoft CS_APM driver.  This driver will allow CardSoft 
	3.1 to properly handle the Power Management cycles issued by the 
	BIOS.  Contact your system vendor to determine if your system 
	supports Advanced Power Management.

	To install CS_APM.EXE please edit your CONFIG.SYS file and add 
	the following line after the other CardSoft 3.1 files listed:
		      
			INSTALL=C:\CARDSOFT\CS_APM.EXE

	Save the CONFIG.SYS file and reboot your system.



     XIRCOM CE-10BT AND CE-10B2 ETHERNET LAN CARDS

	The CardSoft 3.1 package provides support for the Xircom CE-10BT and
	CE-10B2 Ethernet cards.  In most cases, you should use the software 
	drivers supplied by Xircom to enable this LAN card.  

	In the event that you want CardSoft 3.1 to configure the Xircom 
	cards, it is necessary to make one small change.  In the subdirectory 
	where CardSoft is installed, a file exists called CARDID.INI.  
	Edit this file and add the following line to the [Libraries] 
	section:

			CardLib=XIRCOM.CLB

	Save the CARDID.INI file and reboot your system.
