in the OS/2 environment. OS/2 Virtual
Card Services provides a Card Services interface and enables you to
use the DOS PC Card device driver for the DOS object.

device driver or the application program might not work, or
their performance might not be what you expect.

Move the mouse pointer to the DOS object icon; then click the
right mouse button.
2
Click on Properties.

Click on the Session tab.

A
