interface card in your PCMCIA sockets. Make sure the PCMCIA interface card
is inserted firmly.

Installation" for the usage of ARICDF.EXE.
|

82265SL compatible. In this case, you should install PCMCIA support
software that should be supplied by the notebook manufacturer.
|
|
|
CD-ROM
or DVD-ROM Drive is not found!
|
|
|
|
The above message means ARICDF.EXE can't find the PCMCIA CD-ROM or DVD-ROM
drive. Please make sure the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive is properly connected
to the PCMCIA interface card cable.
|
|
Error messages generated by MSCDEX.EXE: |
|
|
Device
driver not found: 'MSCD001'
|
|
|
|
This means that ARICDF.EXE is not installed properly or you have entered a
different /D: switch in the MSCDEX line of AUTOEXEC.BAT. The /D: switch
must be the same as the /D: switch in the ARICDF.EXE line of CONFIG.SYS.
|
|
If the error message displayed is none of the above, please contact your
dealer to obtain customer support.
