2302.0. "DEPCM-BA shows as "PCI Bus" in PC Card display" by ALFAXP::M_HYDE (From the laboratory of Dr. Jekyll) Fri Feb 14 1997 13:03

    
    I have a HiNote VP 500 with a DEPCM-BA REV C01.  Fresh from the factory
    everything worked as expected.  The hard drive died and after having it
    replaced and rebuilding Windows 95 I am unable to get the DECPM to be
    recognized. When I insert the card, there is no beep to signify that it
    is recognized, but if I look at the PC Card properties display it shows
    "PCI bus - Socket 1".  The first time I inserted the card I expected to
    be prompted for the driver disk etc.
    
    I have a Hayes PCMCIA modem that behaved as expected and works
    normally. It is recognized when inserted etc.
    
    Any idea what "PCI bus" means?
    
    Thanks,

2302.1new driver ..ogodhcp-124-96-56.ogo.dec.com::BradshawSend E-Mail to [email protected]Fri Feb 14 1997 14:087
If this is the same problem that I had you need to replace the driver .. take a look 
in the DEC Etherworks notes file.

I also had a problem with the sound card on my system... I had  to get a driver 
for that as well...

2302.2don't think soALFAXP::M_HYDEFrom the laboratory of Dr. JekyllFri Feb 14 1997 15:0515
    I don't think it's the same thing.  I have the most recent PCMCIA
    drivers from the web site. And I haven't even reached the point of
    loading the DEPCM drivers yet.  When I put the DEPCM card in the slot
    the system does not recognize it and beep at me the way it does when I
    insert the modem card.  But if I look at the PC Card properties it
    shows, as I said before, "PCI bus - Socket 1".
    
    If I switch slots it does the same thing - the modem works but the
    DEPCM does not.
    
    Could the card be hosed?

    Ok, can anyone recommend another source of information about this
    problem?  I'm trying to locate another DEPCM card to try.
    
    Thanks,
