IRQ. If these resources are available, the support software
recognizes the PC Card and you can use it.

If there is a resource conflict, you need to change either the
resources or the system configuration:

Either:

– Change the requested resources of the PC Card: You can

allocate the available resources by using each operating
system or PC Card support software function.

Or:

– Change the system configuration: You can change the

system configuration with your operating system or with the
ThinkPad Configuration program.

Note:

If the PC Card device driver is the PC Card point enabler,
you cannot use the PC Card with ThinkPad PC Card
support software. If you cannot set up the PC Card with
PC Card support software, check with the card vendor
whether the device driver is a client device driver or a
point enabler.

For Windows NT, you can select the PC Card support

software or other software. For details

Card in Windows NT (with CardWizard).”

Power management

Depending on the function of the PC Card, changing the power state
might cause your ThinkPad computer to hang. PC Card support
software prevents this occurrence through special handling during
power state transition.

The following table approximately indicates the supported power
management function depending on the type of PC Card. If you
need a power management function, make sure that your PC Card
supports the function.

Note:

This table shows the power management functions that are
supported by the PC Card support software. Since Windows
98 does not support the PC Card support software, this table
does not apply to Windows 98.
