Comment: I am trying to access my Netgear FA511 PCMCIA card in DOS on my AST 800N laptop, but don't even get a link light. Does this mean my PCMCIA port isn't working?

Reply: (edit)You can also try the best version of Phoenix Card Manager -- PCM Version 4.01 (note that PC-DOS 2000 only includes PCM version 3.01 for PCMCIA support, but here is its version 4.01): http://newdos.yginfo.net/dosware/pcm.zip It's freeware I believe, because its original files are downloadable from this official page: http://www.acersupport.com/notebook/html/tm6000_dl.html#t6pcm311

Reply: (edit)You don't need Socket Services if you are going to use the "Enabler.exe" That's what it does. You could pass it some arguments though. "enabler /irq:12 /iop:300 /cbs:off"
(or enabler /?). There's a "start.bat" in pktdrv folder might help.
