The "/com#" switch indicates what COM port you want your 
Serial Card to be set up on.  If you want COM4 instead of 
COM2, you would use the following: 
 
 
ENABLE  /com4  /sA  /MD000 
 
 
The "/s" switch indicates which PCMCIA slot contains your 
Serial Card.  If you wanted slot B instead of slot A, you would 
use the following: 
 
 
ENABLE /com2  /sB  /MD000 
 
 
(On machines with more than one slot, there is no standard way 
to distinguish which port will be A and which will be B.  Usually 
they are not labeled.  You may need to find out through trial and 
error.) 
 
 
The "/M" switch indicates what memory window the ENABLE 
program will use for communication with your Serial Card. The 
four-character number following the /M is a hexadecimal 
address.  If you have a memory conflict at the default D000 
range, you could change it to something else.  For example, if 
you wanted D800, you would enter:  
 
 
ENABLE /com2  /sA  /MD800 
 
3. 
If you are not using an expanded memory manager such as 
EMM386.SYS, skip to step 4.  If you are using an expanded 
memory manager such as EMM386.SYS, you must exclude the 
memory range you specified in step 2.  (Each expanded 
memory manager has a command line switch that allows you to 
exclude a range of memory addresses from the memory 
manager's control.  See your memory manager documentation 
for the exact form of the command line switch.)   If you used the 
default D000 in step 2, you must exclude the range D000-D3FF;  
if you used D800, you must exclude D800-DBFF, etc.
 
 
If you are using an expanded memory manager before you run 
Microsoft Windows, you must also add an "EMMExclude" line to 
the [386Enh] section of your SYSTEM.INI file to inform Windows 
of the excluded range.  For example: 
 
NOTE:  Putting the above line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file will 
cause the Enable program to run each time you reboot or turn 
your PC on.  Do not add this line if Card and Socket Service 
programs are being used.
