Gotcha, and that does ring a bell as I used to stay on top of early PC tech like a hawk and recall something like that about the ESS modems. If you end up going another route, definitely go the route of a serial port as PCMCIA devices had their own set of challenges with card services and then …

From what I remember about these 'soft modems' (besides the fact that they were horrible), is that many of them didn't work in DOS--only Windows. I know either my brother's winbook xp5 or my original winbook may have had the same softmodem, but both systems haven't been powered on in many years and …

Maybe someone on here can help me with a driver problem, I am looking for a windows 3.1 driver for a laptop that originally would have came with windows 95 or 98. I am looking for a ESS ES336/ES56 data/fax driver for windows 3.1. It says in the manual for the machine it is windows 3.1 compatible, so …

I fixed the issue, I had to change the mode of Power.exe to APM mode, Which is Power.exe STD , without that setting it was running power.exe in ADV mode which saves power by detecting what applications or drivers are idle , and it doesn't need APM, Because the laptop is APM compatible I was thinking …

I remember that issue... With all folders, Cardsoft, CardView, etc, it is barely over 1.44MB. I had to delete one or two help/readme files that are not needed to get some free space, and then copied the "SS365SL.EXE" file I needed for my adapter into the CardSoft folder. When you have the file …

I remember the CardSoft installer only working properly when it is indeed run from the root A:\> dir, otherwise they are not working as they seem to use relative paths... They expect the install.exe to reside in a:\> This is the issue, that installation I have, is actually too big to fit all in a …

Forget the installer, just copy the files somewhere and add those lines at the end of your config.sys: Device=c:\cardsoft\ss365sl.exe Device=c:\cardsoft\cs.exe And for the sake of testing, comment out everything you don't need to try the drivers, especially emm386, cause it seems that's the source …

You can try downloading a memory tester like memtest (they have a DOS version) and see if you have bad memory. Tested the RAM it isn't bad , plus tried another ram stick that I know isn't bad, and it does the same stuff. I was told I need to actually use a utility to check what memory is being used …

If it recognizes it as an intel 82365SL chipset, have you tried Cardsoft SS365SL.EXE or SS365LP.EXE? Yes, when I do the DOS installer, it doesn't leave me install anything , The installer recognises nothing and when I try to install , It says it installed something , But it installs nothing . The …

He probably needs emm386 more than power.exe. I would either not run power.exe or if you do, run it before emm386 (I don't think it needs that). Or, not run emm386 at all like the poster above me suggested. Actually I have tried running power.exe before emm386.exe and it does the same exact thing , …
