310ED DOS PCMCIA card services and socket services

#1 Post by hrmcrm » Sat Jan 26, 2008 10:45 am

I'm trying to get a 310ED to boot into DOS and use Ghost to write to a USB flash drive in a PCMCIA adapter card. All work fine in Win98SE. In DOS, I cannot get through the first step of getting card services and socket services loaded so the system can see the PCMCIA adapter. What are the DOS config.sys file lines to load card services and socket services on this TP?
Thanks,
Howard

DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS


Here's a link to the PC Card Driver file for DOS>

*Be warned* I linked directly to the download.....It will download as soon as you enter it into your browser.

The rest of the Config.SYS will be written to by this program.

By the way. Are you using the older "Norton" version of Ghost or the newly taken over (relative) Symantic version?

With the Norton version it was not able to copy to a USB flash drive.

Phool,
Thanks for the link. I got the driver and will try with it. I am using Norton Ghost 2003. I agree it cannot set up a USB flash drive, but it seems happy to connect to any drives the system presents to it. I'm trying to get a boot into DOS with the PCMCIA adapter card and USB flash drive running. I'll then start ghost manually and run it under DOS. Could be cumbersome.
Best regards,
Howard

http://12.206.251.215/pccbbs/mobiles/ will provide you with many of the original system files for your 310ED. If your using I.E. right now you can hit CTL F and plug into the "Find:" box "310" and it will search for everything with that number sequence. Take a look around for other things you might need.
