3C589 - Toshiba Card Manager - Network driver load error

Problem: Configuring a PCMCIA network card for use with Toshiba Card Manager 3.0, the network driver loads incorrectly and returns an error with a reference to Card Services.

Solution: Certain PCMCIA network cards, such as the 3C589, are recognized by the PCMCIA controller and do not need an enabler to access them. Simply load the network drivers.

To get the network card to work with TCM 3.0, be sure that the card is not configured. Do not add the card to PCM. You may need to reinstall TCM 3.0 to get a default setting for the PCM.INI file. Before reinstalling TCM 3.0, make a backup copy of the PCM.INI and remove any reference to PCMPLUS in the CONFIG.SYS file.

You may need to manually edit the PCM.INI file. The following copies of PCM.INI and NET.CFG tested successfully with the 3C589:
