Need help with my thinkpad 380xd, IR network and pcmcia driver issues

#1 Post by MichaelWeaser » Thu Apr 27, 2017 12:36 pm

I am having issues with 2 drivers that need to be loaded in windows for workgroups 3.11, The issue is I need the IR networking and PCMCIA since I have IR networking device to get my thinkpad on the internet and I have a PCMCIA that i use. The issue is the PCMCIA software in wfw 3.11 needs a setting config.sys for emm386.exe which is X=D000-D7FF , but if that is set the IR network driver will not load saying it doesn't have a enough memory to load, if the X setting isn't there the IR drivers work fine, but the PCMCIA will not work in Wfw 3.11 without the X settings for emm386.exe. the pcmcia software utilty says if you have emm386 enabled you need XD000-D7FF set, since it needs a 4K of memory that can't be accessed by emm386. So i need to figure out how to get the PCMCIA drivers and IR networking drivers working at the same time when EMM386 is loaded. If anyone can help me that is great. It seems the drivers are trying to use the same ram space or something like that.
