Question: Any advantage (possible) to disable 2nd PCMCIA host? 

Forum: PCMCIA Installation and Configuration Issues
Date: 1999, Dec 17
From: Steve Snyder SteveSnyder

Compaq, in their finite wisdom, put only a single CardBus slot in my Presario 1260. So while the PCMCIA controller supports 2 slots only one can actually be used.

So, my questions is this: is it desireable, or even possible, to disable the second host on the PCMCIA controller?

The current (pcmcia-cs-3.1.7) is working fine with my 3Com 3C575 NIC. I'm thinking in terms of system resources saved, rather than fixing any specific problem.

My configuration: 

 Intel PCIC probe:
   TI 1131 PCI-to-CardBus at bus 0 slot 10, mem 0x68000000, 2 sockets
     host opts [0]: [ring] [pci + serial irq] [no pci irq] [lat 168/176] [bus 32/34]
     host opts [1]: [ring] [pci + serial irq] [no pci irq] [lat 168/176] [bus 35/37]
     ISA irqs (scanned) = 3,4,7,9,12 polling interval = 1000 ms

Thank you.

Message Administration

This form allows you to delete, move, or copy one or more messages. You can move messages by copying and deleting the original. The action will be applied to the messages you select above and all replies to those selected messages.

If you want to copy or move messages, specify the HyperNews path of a destination forum or message that all messages will be copied or moved to. The destination must already exist, so maybe create it first.

Path of Destination (a Forum or Message): (e.g. "test")

Notify Subscribers at destination
NO

If you want to delete messages (the default), specify that here. If you want to move messages, you need to delete the original messages; placeholders will be left pointing to where they were moved.

Delete Messages
NO

Caution: After deleteing messages (the default), if you have not copied them (i.e. no destination above), then the selected messages are not be recoverable.
