Using the Compaq PC Card Solutions List
Compaq offers a list of PC Cards, including 32-bit (CardBus) and
Zoomed Video PC Cards, that are compatible with Compaq
computers and meet rigorous Compaq quality standards.
PC Cards listed in the Premier category are comprehensively
tested by Compaq. PC Cards in the Standard category are vendor-
tested and supported on specific Compaq computers and
operating systems.
The Compaq PC Card Solutions List is updated quarterly and is
available at the Compaq Internet site at http://www.compaq.com.
You may also be able to obtain the list from your Compaq
authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider. For information,
refer to “Worldwide Telephone Numbers” in Appendix A.
PC Cards with this logo on their packaging and
advertising are compatible with most Compaq
portable computers.
Configuring a PC Card
Windows 95 automatically configures Plug and Play Devices.
PC Cards are considered to be true Plug and Play Devices.
If you are running Windows NT, you can use the preinstalled
CardWare program to provide many Plug and Play features. For
example, you can use CardWare to automatically configure a
PC Card. To access CardWare, click StartÆPrograms
ÆCardWare or double-click the PC Card icon in the system tray
on the Windows taskbar. For additional configuration information,
refer to CardWare Help from within the program.
If you are instructed by PC Card documentation to install card-
specific device drivers, be sure to install only device drivers for
your Windows 95 or Windows NT operating system. Do not
install Card Services, Socket Services, or enablers. If diskettes are
not clearly labeled or the instructions are unclear, call the PC Card
manufacturer for more specific instructions.
CAUTION:
If you install card and socket services or enablers
provided by a PC Card manufacturer, you may not be able to use
other PC Cards.
