When you are using a Zenith NoteFLEX 486DX computer with a PCIC-compatible
controller (with a Cirrus Logic chip set), PCMCIA cards are not enumerated
when you insert them. PCMCIA cards are enumerated only if they are already
inserted when you start your computer.

There is a known problem with the automatic detection of available IRQs on
the Zenith NoteFLEX computer. As a result, Windows 95 assigns a default set
of IRQs for its mask. Although IRQ 10 is in the default mask assigned by
Windows 95, IRQ 10 is not supported on NoteFLEX computers.

To work around this problem, use Registry Editor (REGEDIT) to add the
following registry entry. This entry overrides the default mask:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\PCMCIA\0000
Add a key called PCICOptions to the entry, and assign the following value
for the key:
b8 0a 00 00
For information about how to edit the registry, view the Changing Keys And
Values online Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe). Note that you
should make a backup copy of the registry files (System.dat and User.dat)
before you edit the registry.
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that
may require you to reinstall Windows 95. Microsoft cannot guarantee that
problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved.
Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
