Overview 
The Madge Smart 16/4 PCMCIA Mk2 is an 
efficient and fully featured credit card sized 
Token Ring adapter for use in the 
PCMCIA/PC Card slots of portable 
computers. 
Unlike many other adapters, the Smart 
16/4 PCMCIA Mk2 provides mobile users 
with an extremely robust and flexible 
solution for Token Ring connectivity. 
 
The Smart 16/4 PCMCIA provides a solution 
to customers looking for simplicity and 
performance for their  mobile users. 
Advantages 
Robust connector ensures a network 
connection no matter how much use 
the laptop gets. 
Multiple DOS memory configuration 
options either through Madge’s 
unique LSS software or Novell’s 
Client-32. 
Installation methods common with 
all Madge adapters, means that 
laptops can be easily deployed in a 
network. 
Support for a wide range of 
standards including Hot-swapping 
and Winsock. 
Robust LAN Connection 
The nature of mobile computing dictates 
that laptop connectors are exposed to a 
greater level of stress than a desktop 
environment. To ensure that the network 
connection is never compromised, the 
Smart PCMCIA uses the highly reliable 
network cable connector while enabling X-
Jack modems to co-exist in adjacent slots. 
Multiple Memory Options 
Madge provides a number of options to 
combat the memory problems suffered by 
DOS laptop users. When combined with 
Smart LSS software, the 512KB on-board 
memory allows downloading of 
combinations of ODI, NDIS, LLC, NetBIOS, 
IPX or TCP/IP protocols, offering significant 
DOS conventional memory savings over 
other driver configurations. 
Support is also offered for Novell’s Client-
32 drivers, which give further DOS memory 
configuration options by allowing network 
drivers to be loaded into DOS extended 
memory, thus freeing conventional memory 
for use by other applications. 
When using Card & Socket services 
supplied by laptop vendors, many users can 
find problems with the size of these drivers. 
Madge supplies Smart 16/4 PCMCIA specific 
Card & Socket services to reduce memory 
usage and simplify installation. 
Simplicity and Convenience 
Madge LAN Support Software 
provides maximum functionality for laptop 
users to operate in both networked and 
standalone modes. Hot-swap allows users 
to connect or remove a PCMCIA adapter 
without the need to re-boot. Dual docking 
configurations enable use of a PCMCIA 
adapter when undocked and a docking 
station resident adapter when docked. 
To allow laptop users to be easily 
integrated into the corporate LAN, the 
Smart 16/4 PCMCIA Mk2 is installed via the
