The next time you load Windows, the CardTalk Control Panel will

load automatically.

Using PC Cards

At system startup the Super Client and user-installed client drivers

cards they control. The Super Client driver works with a wide variety

of cards. Each client driver is designed to work with a particular card,

and controls that card exclusively.

Inserting a Card

Before you insert a card into the socket, touch a grounded piece of

metal, such as the computer chassis to discharge static electricity.

CAUTION

Avoid Electrostatic Discharge

Always touch the metal chassis of the computer

before you insert a PC Card. The Card Reader has

been tested to withstand electrostatic discharge, but

static can damage or stress a computer’s

components even when it does not make the

computer fail.

When a card is inserted into the socket, Card and Socket Services

signals the CardTalk Super Client driver (CARDTALK.SYS). When

this happens, CARDTALK.SYS:

1. Turns power on to the card and interrogates the Card Information

Structure to determine the card type.

2. If a Card Services client driver has been installed for the card, it

gets control of the card. If not, CARDTALK.SYS tales control.

3. CARDTALK.SYS or the client driver initializes the socket and card

and prepares the card to perform its particular operation. If the

Super Client driver has control, the computer beeps once to indicate

it recognized and installed the card. If you hear more than one beep,

refer to Chapter 6, Troubleshooting, for more information.
