IBM PS/2 - PCMCIA Series II adapters fail in 9576/77

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom:
IBM PCMCIA Host Adapter with an IBM PCMCIA Series II Token Ring or Ethernet card installed may fail to be recognized when installed in an IBM 9576i/s or 9577i/s system.

Problem Isolation Aids:
Applications like the "Play-at-Will" function in the OS/2 System folder which initiates the IBM PCMCIA Host adapter function may not recognize that an IBM PCMCIA Series II adapter is installed.

IBM Series III PCMCIA adapters installed in an IBM PCMCIA Host adapter function normally.

Fix:
The IBM PCMCIA Host Adapter with an IBM Series II PCMCIA adapter installed is not supported in the 9576i/s or 9577i/s. system. IBM Series III PCMCIA adapters have been tested and are supported when used with the IBM PCMCIA Host Adapter in a 9576/9577i/s system.
