Windows NT* 3.51 and 4.0 include full support for PC Cards and partial support for the EtherExpress™ PRO/100 Mobile 32-bit CardBus. The PRO/100 CardBus adapter includes a driver that will let you use the device within Windows NT. When loaded, this driver disables support for PC Cards in Windows NT. This means you cannot simultaneously use another CardBus or PC Card with the PRO/100 CardBus adapter.

Please review the README.TXT file on the Installation Disk and visit Intel's Web site for the latest information on CardBus support in Windows NT.

Make sure you are using the latest drivers available for the CardBus adapter. Download the latest drivers M32ADISK.EXE.

The installation steps for Windows NT 3.51 and Windows NT 4.0 are slightly different, so they are addressed separately here.

Card and Socket Services Support:

The Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) has developed specifications governing the use of PC Cards (formerly PCMCIA cards) in personal computer systems. The software components that implement these specifications are called Card and Socket Services. This software supports the ability of PC Card-aware device drivers (known as clients) to share cards, sockets and system resources.

The PCMCIA Association also developed the specifications for CardBus, the new 32-bit PC Card specification. Due to the newness of the CardBus specification, most Card and Socket Services software do not currently support CardBus devices.

Intel is working with developers of Card and Socket Services software to ensure compatibility between their products and the PRO/100 CardBus adapter. The following products are expected to support CardBus in the near future.
