Can someone help?! PCMCIA LogConfigOverride

Hi, I have a PCMCIA which I need to have an I/O Window
mapped to it and I require the PCMCIA bus controller to
use the wait signal to access the i/o registers on my
card. After searching high and low for the past few days,
I realised that I can specify logConfigOverride section in
the .inf file. The thing is there are so many things to
it that I think I am getting everything wrong and my
driver installation keeps crashing my PC. Here is what I
have:

[card.override0]
ConfigPriority = NORMAL
IOConfig = 128@fd00-fdff
IRQConfig = 9
PCCardConfig = 1:0(W XI1)

First of all I will like to know what is the address range
specified in the IOConfig directive. I took the address
range above from the resource properties of my PCMCIA card
bus controller (in Device Manager).

Then for the PCCardConfig, what is the configuration
index? Is it the mask of the configuration option
register of PCMCIA card?

Finally, if I use the method above, does that mean that my
driver installation will only work on my pc?

Try:

[card.override0]
ConfigPriority = NORMAL
IOConfig = 128@0000-ffff ; give the host more latitude
IRQConfig=LS:3,4,5,7,9,10,11 ; Level, Shared, give the host more latitude
PCCardConfig = 1:0(W XI1) ; What ever you put here should at least disable
the interrupts. You enable things in the driver.

Hi thanks for the reply. I can only disable the interrupt
by writing to a register on my device. The problem is if
I could not get an i/o window that allows me to read/write
properly, how can I disable the interrupt?

Regarding the (W XI1) in the PcCardConfig directive, I
notice that for the 8-bit i/o, 0 indicates one additional
wait and 1 indicates zero wait states and for 16-bit i/o,
the other way is correct. So I wonder if there is any
mistake in the documentation.

The next thing is the decode mask that I need to specify
in the IoConfig directive. Do you have any idea what is
that?

Thanks once again.

Well, if your device has its interrupt enabled and generates an interrupt
before you get to disable it, you might have a problem. I think your device
design needs to be rethought.

No, my device does not generate interrupt at the
beginning.

Anyway, my problem now is I can't even do simple
WRITE_PORT_xxx/READ_PORT_XXX and I believe the issue is
due to the fact that my PCMCIA card requires one
additional wait state in i/o read/write.

I have no problems in WinCE where I have access in my
driver to card services and hence I can specify the
window_use_speed_wait attribute when I request for I/O
window. But in Win2k, I believe I can only do it through
logconfig method in inf file. But.. you know, it just
doesn't work!

What means "just doesn't work" ? Do you get error 12 in device manager?
