Adding PC Card devices

When adding a PC Card to your system, note the following:

• PC Card and Socket Services support PCI to CardBus bridges with a ClassCode of ``0x060700''. PCI to PCMCIA bridges with a ClassCode of ``0x060500'' are not supported.

  To verify the ClassCode of the bridge on your system, run hw -vm.

• Most laptop computers do not support shared interrupts or overlapping memory addresses. Each device must have its own IRQ and I/O address assigned.

  When installing and configuring a PCMCIA card, use the hw(ADM) command or the hwconfig(C) command with the -h option to determine the IRQs and I/O addresses that are available on your system.

• SCO OpenServer does not support the use of hot-pluggable PC Cards. Be sure that your PC Card devices are installed when you boot your system and do not remove a PC Card device while the system is in use.

  If you do remove a PC Card device while the system is turned off, you must return the card to the same slot in which it was configured or the device will not be recognized when you restart the system.
