Toshiba* Laptop Systems And Intel® PCMCIA Faxmodems
Intel has tested the following Toshiba* systems and found them COMPATIBLE with Intel's PCMCIA Faxmodems and Card Manager software: T1900, T1900C, T1910, T1910C, T1950, T1950C, T3400. T3400CT, T4500, T4500C, T4600, T4600C, T4700CT. System-specific information appears later in this document.
Intel found the Toshiba* T3300* system NOT COMPATIBLE with Intel's PCMCIA Faxmodems and Card Manager software, because the I/O controller for the PCMCIA socket is not compatible with Card Manager software.
Use the socket that is the appropriate size for your card. Many Toshiba* systems have sockets for a Toshiba memory card. DO NOT CONFUSE THE MEMORY CARD SOCKET AND THE PCMCIA CARD SOCKET. A PCMCIA card will not go all the way into a Toshiba memory card socket. If your system has more than one PCMCIA socket, Intel recommends using the Type II socket for Intel PC Cards, and reserving the Type III and Type IV sockets for thicker cards.
When a Toshiba* system goes into SUSPEND mode, it turns the PCMCIA socket's power OFF, causing the PC Card to lose its configuration values. When power is RESUMEd, Intel's Card Manager software automatically re-configures the PCMCIA card. However, if any communications application that uses the PC Card without taking advantage of Intel's Card Manager software was running when power was SUSPENDed, you must exit and re-enter the application before the application can regain access to the PCMCIA Card. To avoid exiting and re-entering applications when power resumes, enter your system's BIOS setup and turn the PCMCIA socket's power to ON.
Before Installing Intel'S Release 2 Software:
- Edit your CONFIG.SYS file as a plain text file. In CONFIG.SYS, edit the EMM386.EXE line to read: DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE RAM 256 X=DD00-DFFF
NOTE: If your system has Automatic Power Management (APM), make sure the EMM386.EXE line appears AFTER the APM.SYS line.
- In CONFIG.SYS, insert the word REM before any line that includes the PCMPLUS directory.
- Save CONFIG.SYS, exit Windows completely, and reboot.
- Follow the installation procedure in the Intel Faxmodem Quick Start Guide. Don't allow Intel's INSTALL program to automatically configure the system for EMS usage.
After Installing Intel'S Release 2 Software:
- The last lines of your CONFIG.SYS file should be:
DEVICE=C:\CARDMGR\SS365SL.EXE DEVICE=C:\CARDMGR\CS.EXE DEVICE=C:\CARDMGR\RTINIT.EXE /IO=260-26F DEVICE=C:\CARDMGR\CMGRDRVR.EXE
- The following lines have been added to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
C:\CARDMGR\CCMGR.EXE PATH=C:\FAX;%PATH% C:\FAX\CASMODEM.EXE
- Find the mouse driver line in AUTOEXEC.BAT (for example, C:\BALLPT\MOUSE or C:\MOUSE\MOUSE). Move this entire line after C:\FAX\CASMODEM.EXE.
- Then save AUTOEXEC.BAT. Changes will take effect when you reboot.
Before Installing Intel'S Release 3 Software:
- Edit your CONFIG.SYS file as a plain text file. In CONFIG.SYS, edit the EMM386.EXE line to read:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=DD00-DFFF
- Save CONFIG.SYS, exit Windows completely, and reboot.
- Follow the installation procedure in the Intel Faxmodem Quick Start Guide.
After Installing Intel'S Release 3 Software:
If the Toshiba PCMCIA software is present, the first line of your CONFIG.SYS file should be:
DEVICE=C:\CARDMGR\CPR.SYS
If the Toshiba PCMCIA Software is present, the last lines of your CONFIG.SYS file should be:
DEVICE=C:\PCMPLUS\PCMSS.EXE
[other drivers in the PCMPLUS directory]
DEVICE=C:\CARDMGR\CMGRDRVR.EXE /INST
INSTALL=C:\CARDMGR\CCMGR.EXE /D=0
If the Intel® Card Manager Software is the only PCMCIA software present:
The last lines of your CONFIG.SYS file should be:
DEVICE=C:\CARDMGR\CCMSERV.EXE
DEVICE=C:\CARDMGR\RTINIT.EXE /IO=260-26F
DEVICE=C:\CARDMGR\CMGRDRVR.EXE /INST
INSTALL=C:\CARDMGR\CCMGR.EXE /D=0
PCMCIA Faxmodem cards can use these settings:
UPPER MEMORY ranges:
- C800-DFFF: Intel's Card Manager software and EMS providers can use a block in this range.
- B000-B7FF: Appears open, but its use is not recommended.
- E000-E7FF: May be reserved for Hard RAM feature in many systems.
- E800-EFFF: Unavailable; reserved for BIOS to use during RESUMEs.
- B000-B7FF: Appears open, but conflicts are possible if this range is given to an EMS provider.
IRQs: 3, 5, 10, 11, and 15. Changing the external COM port to COM2 takes IRQ3 and frees IRQ4.
I/O ADDRESSING: An 8-byte I/O address block within the ranges 200-26F and 300-36F.
Accessing BIOS SETUP: Run the TSETUP utility.

T3400CT, T4500, T4500C, T4600, T4600C, T4700CT. A customer reports that the T6600 system is also compatible and should be configured the same as the T4600. (Intel hasn't tested the T6600 and can't verify the accuracy of this report.) System-specific information appears later in this document.

Customers have observed that if power is suspended for more than 24 hours, the system's mouse or keyboard may lock up, and you may have to restart the computer. Open questions include: Does this happen if the card is not in the socket? Does this happen if there is not a memory manager loaded? If a memory manager is loaded, are the proper exclusions on the command line (no HIGHSCAN, No use of the B000-B7FF range, no use of the E800-EFFF range)?

The Toshiba* T4500 and T4500C systems have a PCMCIA Type 4 socket (not officially adopted by the PCMCIA committee). These systems do not have an ejector mechanism for the PCMCIA socket, so the user must find a method of gripping the PC Card with enough force to remove it from the socket without causing damage to the card or the system.
