I've been stuggling with this one on and off for 2 months now. I have a Texa Instruments 6030 Laptop and an EigerLabs PCMCIA serial card. The card showes up fine under Windows but I can get it to word under DOS. I've included a screen capture of what I'm doing: C:\PHOENI~1>pcmss130 PhoenixCARD Manager Version 4.01 Texas Instruments 1130 CardBus Card Socket Services (5.00) Revision 3.10 Copyright (c) 1993-1995 Pheonix Technologies Ltd.

Slot 0: Manufacturer = "EigerLabs," Product Name = "EPX-SC2000 PCMCIA Serial Card" Card Type Unavailable Drive = unknown drive Slot 1: *** GetStatus failed for slot 1 (error 0B) C:\PHOENI~1 So the error occurs when I try to run the CARDID.exe command. Is it at all posible to get this card to work with DOS applications. Even when I run them in the MS-DOS window under windows95 I get the same error. Is there anyway to let DOS look at the windows setup and use the COM port through windows?? Or is there better DOs software than I'm using? Please Help, feel free to email files. -Dwight

You need to install Card Services via DOS Take a look at http://www.powerload.fsnet.co.uk he has an example of Autoexec.Bat & Config.Sys to look at as well as some usfull links.
