This package is intended for making more use of CardBus cards.

Included parts
==============

 * cbenable.sys - a device driver that uses OS/2 Card services to
                  enable any CardBus card you insert in a slot
                  and assign an IRQ line and and IO window.

 * cbe_msg.exe  - send a on off message to cbenable.sys

 * oemhlp2.sys  - some System BIOS do not scan on CardBus bus,
                  if they are asked to look for a PCI device.
                  Imagine that there would be a common PCI Chipset
                  with drivers and no special CardBus client.
                  if the device is present at boot time and the
                  PCI driver uses the OEMHLP$ driver (included in
                  OS2KRNL), chaning OEMHLP$ to OEMH2$ would let
                  the PCI driver find the CardBus device.
                  Of course you must make sure that the card
                  is in the socket all the time...
                  
                  Additionally, this driver adds a write protection
                  filter to a socket where an USB card is inserted.

 * ppcmcia.exe  - original PCMCIA.SYS has a bug that prevents use
                  of CardBus cards. This program patches PCMCIA.SYS.
                  The patch was tested with version 10.056.
                  PPCMCIA creates a backup file if it can not find one.

 * cscinfo.exe  - simple program to show card informations


Usage
=====

  1. First install Card Services version 5.0. 
     cbenable.sys checks for version 5.00 (8.00 is broken).
     
     Make sure that you use

     BaseDev=PCMCIA.SYS /R:500

     in config.sys.

  2. run ppcmcia.exe. It will patch PCMCIA.SYS on your boot drive,
     it will try to find it in \os2\ and \os2\boot\.
     You can specify the full path to PCMCIA.SYS if you run
     from an maintenance partition.


  3. Add CBENABLE.SYS and OEMHLP2.SYS to config.sys, OEMHLP2.SYS
     CBENABLE.SYS must be after PCMCIA.SYS and socket drivers, 
     but before drivers that excpect enabled devices (USB).

     
     BaseDev=OEMHLP2.SYS

       OEMHLP2.SYS has no parameters.


     BaseDev=CBENABLE.SYS <CardBusBridge Bus> <CS Socket> <IRQ>
             [/Patch_Ti1225_Burst:<Ti1225_Burst>]
             [/Patch_Ti1225_IRQMode:<Ti1225_IRQMode>]
             [/FunctionID:<Function_code>]


       <CardBusBridge Bus> are 3 values for Bus, Device and Function
       of the CardBus bridge. You most likely have only one chip
       and can let CBENABLE.SYS search for it by using * for each.

       <CS Socket> is an number from 0 to 7.

       <IRQ> can be
        * NOIRQ: do not try to assign an IRQ to the device.
          Requires support of the card driver, for example
          rtsnd.os2. Avoid this option if possible..
        * PCIIRQ: do not ask Card Services to allocate an
          IRQ for the card, instead use PCI routing.
          This is the recommended option. IRQ sharing possible.
          To make this option work, use the BIOS setup or
          the SPCIIRQ package to set an valid IRQ for the
          CardBus bridge.
        * a list of IRQ numbers separated by ",":
          cbeanble will request IRQ configuration using Card Services.
          Card Services will select one IRQ of the list that it thinks 
          is available for use. It will reserve the IRQ in exclusive mode.

          
       <Ti1225_Burst> Optional hardware depended Option for
       Texas Instruments 1225 and compatible chips (values 0/1).
       For value 1, the "Memory read burst enable upstream" bit
       is set. Measured Realtek 8139 NETIO throughput goes
       from 3,2 MB/s to 11 MB/s on the development system.


       <Ti1225_IRQMode> Optional hardware dependend Option for
       Texas Instruments 1225 and compatible chips (values 0/1/2/3).
       Modifies Interrupt mode:

         0 = Parallel PCI interrupts only
         1 = Parallel IRQ and parallel PCI interrupts
         2 = IRQ serialized interrupts and parallel PCI interrupt
         3 = IRQ and PCI serialized interrupts (default)


       <Function_code> Optional parameter to restrict card types
       that are processed. Possible values are:

         0 = Multi-Function
         1 = Memory
         2 = Serial Port
         3 = Parallel Port
         4 = Fixed Disk
         5 = Video Adapter
         6 = Network Adapter
         7 = Auto Incrementing Mass Storage
         8 = SCSI
         9 = Security
         10..253 = Reserved
         254 = Vendor-Specific
         * = ignore value (default)



     Examples:

       BaseDev=CBENABLE.SYS * * 0 0 10,11,12
       BaseDev=CBENABLE.SYS * * 0 0    NOIRQ
       BaseDev=CBENABLE.SYS * * 0 0   PCIIRQ       
                            ^^^^^ ^      ^^^
                           Bridge Socket IRQ




Resource Manager
================

  You will find CBENABLE.SYS and OEMHLP.SYS using "RMVIEW /D",
  Resources allocated by CBENABLE will appear allocated by
  "Socket_0", "Socket_1" in ExCA mode.


Power on+off, Hotinsert
=======================

  Power on/off and remove/reinsert is only possible if
  the adapter device driver supports the notification hook
  in CBENABLE.SYS. The "Realtek 8139 OS/2 NDIS" driver is
  updated to include support for this. If you remove a card
  or remove the power from it (Card Director) without
  coordination with the driver, you most likely get a system
  halt. Another way to power off a card is to execute the
  included cbe_msg.exe program. Its parameters are socket
  number (0..7) and 0/1 for off/on. Example for removing
  power for first socket: "cbe_msg 0 0".


APM Suspend/Resume
==================

  The "DEVICE=E:\OS2\boot\$ICPMOS2.SYS" driver in config.sys
  prevents APM Suspend if CBENABLE.SYS has enabled a card.
  You perhaps want to comment it off by inserting "REM "
  in front of that line.


Enabler Conflicts
=================

  CBENABLE would most likely conflict with similar enabler
  clients, use for example "/FunctionID:6" to restrict CBENABLE
  to only try Network cards.

  Remember to hide any socket from Card Services, where
  "point enabler" software (build-in card services) is used.
  Example: cbendis/ibmcndis.os2 (Xircom/IBM EtherJet 10/100)


Beep codes
==========

  beep
    error
      recommendation

  short very high beep (8000 Hz)
    card enabled successful.

  medium/high/medium beep (2000/3000/2000)
    card configuration failed
      adjust IRQ or use Base IO address 0.

  long low/middle beep (1000/2000/1000/2000 Hz)
    can not get card configuration, bad pcmcia.sys detected
      run ppcmcia.exe and reboot.


Problems/Questions & Solutions/Answers
======================================

P: Error message 'Attach to PCMCIA$ failed. Install Card Services.'
S: PCMCIA.SYS was not installed. Please install IBM Card Director
   and the Socket drivers matching your hardware.

P: Error message 'Card Services version 5.00 (PCMCIA.SYS /R:500) required.'
S: Card Services level 2.0 do not support CardBus Cards. Please change the
   the config.sys line. (perhaps not needed for CS 8.00??)

P: Error message 'No PCI to CardBus bridge found.'
S: Maybe you only have PCCard (ISA) socket hardware. Ask the author.

P: Error message 'Specified device is not a CardBus bridge.'
S: let CBENABLE.SYS detect the values; ask the author.

P: Error message 'CardBus bridge has invalid CardBus number set.'
S: Your BIOS does not to assign PCI bus numbers to the CardBus behind
   the CardBus bridge (socket chip). Bus numbers have to setup unique
   to work! You can 
    a) try to look into the machine setup
    b) use another socket driver; for my machine (TI1225) i need the
       driver from the dell package (+patch)
    c) alter the PCI bus number using wPciCfg.sys like
       REM TI1225: CardBus=Bus#2
       BaseDev=wpcicfg.sys 0 10 0 $10 4 $000d0000
       BaseDev=wpcicfg.sys 0 10 0 $19 1 $02
       BaseDev=wpcicfg.sys 0 10 0 $1A 1 $02
       REM TI1225: CardBus=Bus#3
       BaseDev=wpcicfg.sys 0 10 1 $10 4 $000d1000
       BaseDev=wpcicfg.sys 0 10 1 $19 1 $03
       BaseDev=wpcicfg.sys 0 10 1 $1A 1 $03
       
P: Error message 'IRQ in CardBus bridge is not valid, use BIOS setup or SPCIIRQ.'
S: Use the spciirq package to set IRQ that is used by the CardBus chip
   function/functions.

Q: Which socket driver should i use
A: There exist small differences between implementations, so
   you have to try out all matching drivers. Use pci0*vk to
   get the chip type, then search for drivers, or ask me.

Q: Card services do not load after booting Windows
A: The socket chip is in power down mode and your BIOS seems not to do
   its work. 
   a) Switch off the machine, wait 10 seconds and power on again.
   b) use the wakup driver package
   
P: all seem ok, but PMIrq IRQ counter does not increase
S: try PCI IRQ routing instead of ExCA routing, verify with show_lnk
   that the IRQ is in level mode.



Known Problems
==============

  * Removing powered on Cards causes Resource Manager IO reservations
    leaks. This does not seem to happen if CBE_MSG is used.
    Possible fix:
    - search PCMCIA.SYS problem
    - free RM resources in CBENABLE.SYS
    
  * IBM Card Director displays wrong data in resource usage notebook
    for the enabled card. ezplay.dll assumes that no I/O range is larger
    or equal than 256 bytes.

Changes
=======

 2003.01.07
  corrected errors in ppcmcia.cmd
  added TI 1225 interrupt and burst mode options
  Search IOBase if it does not work, or 0 is specified
  Uses OEMHLP$/OEMHLP2.SYS for PCI access

 2003.01.27
  cscinfo shows manufacturer from GetCardServicesInfo buffer
  removed ppcmcia.cmd and enhanced ppcmcia.exe
  /FunctionID filter added
  cbenable.sys: copy excpected PCI address of inserted card
   to IOCTL data buffer

 2003.02.02 --
  cscinfo reports CS level and vendor string, corrected socket numbering
   for CS level 2.00 (1-based)
  cosmetic change in device driver header (source code only)
  use manufacturer id table from 2003.04.03

 2003.08.01
  tried to make it work with IBM PC Card Director/CardBus/8.00;
   does not work for me (TI1225), use previous version..
   try driver CARDBUS$ before $PCMCIA (level 8.00 instead of 2.00)
   catch garbage that prevously was copyright and version string
  added problem solutions to this documentation
  use manufacturer id table from 2003.05.20

 2003.08.22
  display copyright string for CS 5.00 (Length $7F/$81)

 2003.09.25..11.10
  added 'NOIRQ' mode support
   Note: this will help with drivers that can fall back to an
   non-IRQ controlled access to the device.
  pass socket number to clients (in ax)
  supress error beep when software calles enable function for empty sockets
 
 2003.11.14..2004.07.28
  fixed several problems in oemhlp2
  usb 2.0 cardbus card support (nec 2xOHCI+1xEHCI)
   see usb_cb.txt
  return error codes to cbe_msg, decode error codes in cbe_msg
  more aggressivly set IRQ mode and BURST parameter
   it seems that the socket driver does not know that the setting
   is shared for both slots, disabling a card in second socket
   *should not* disable working for the first..
  PCIIRQ mode added; now default for DDP; ExCA IRQ is not shareable..
   even setting IRQs with SPCIIRQ makes them unavailable for ExCA!
  added beep code sample (rexx)
  obsoleted IOBase and Size parameter. CBENABLE now tries
   to find I/O and Memory resource requirements automaticly.
   
 2004.08.14
  use manufacturer id table from 2004.08.13
