                          Databook Cardtalk Software
                         TMB-240/250 System Software
                                Version 3.10
                                "Sep 09 1994"
                Software PN: 8513021; Release Note PN: 9431003                                

             PLEASE READ THE QUICK-START USER GUIDE THOROUGHLY
             BEFORE YOU INSTALL THE TMB-240/250 IN YOUR SYSTEM.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                             Notes on INSTALL
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  To start the installation, type:
	a:INSTALL
where "a" is the diskette drive holding the Cardtalk Software diskette.

2.  Single-level directory

When INSTALL asks you for a directory name in which to place the Cardtalk
Software, it must be exactly one level from the root, that is:
	\CARDTALK		<== correct

DO NOT specify a multi-level directory path:
	\CARDTALK\MYSTUFF	<== wrong

DO NOT attempt to install Cardtalk Software into the root directory itself:
	\			<== wrong

3.  Pauses during INSTALL

You may experience pauses of up to a minute during the installation process,
during which time INSTALL is checking your system.  This does not indicate
a problem with your system.

4.  PATH changes to AUTOEXEC.BAT under DOS 6.0 and later

The installation process attempts to add the new Cardtalk directory to your
DOS PATH statement in AUTOEXEC.BAT.  DOS 6.0 and later have a presumed PATH of
"C:\DOS" if none is specified in AUTOEXEC.BAT.  If you are running DOS 6.0 or
later, and do not have a PATH statement in AUTOEXEC.BAT, the Cardtalk INSTALL
will place one there, but you may have to add ";C:\DOS" to it to regain access
to the DOS commands.  

5.  When the Cardtalk drivers load at boot time (from CONFIG.SYS), some 
sign-on messages may exceed 80 characters in length, and may wrap around on 
the screen.  This does not indicate a problem with the Cardtalk software, 
only with the message.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Upgrading from a previous version of Cardtalk System Software
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.  Installing over a previous version

If you have already installed a previous version of Cardtalk System Software,
we recommend that you remove or disable the old Cardtalk installation
("DEVICE=") lines in your CONFIG.SYS file before running INSTALL.EXE.  This
requires use of a text editor to remove the lines or place "REM " at the
beginning of each line.

7.  Third-party PCMCIA software

If you have installed third-party PCMCIA software using DEVICE= lines in your
CONFIG.SYS, you will have to modify those manually -- the Cardtalk
installation process does not attempt to change third-party lines.

8.  Note to users of Microsoft Flash File System 2 (FFS-2):

If your previous version placed a DEVICE=MS-FLASH.SYS line in your CONFIG.SYS
file, and you do not choose FFS2 in this new installation, the old line may
remain and be out of order.  Use a text editor to remove or disable the old
DEVICE=MS-FLASH.SYS line.  

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
      If you are installing in a computer that has Microsoft Windows
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

This distribution contains the files required to run the Cardtalk Control
Panel, a graphical user interface (GUI) for the Cardtalk Software.  Please
note the following:

9.  Windows must NOT be running when you begin the installation.  If you are
running Windows when you begin the installation, you will be reminded to
exit from Windows back to a DOS prompt before continuing.

10.  If you specify to install the GUI, the installation will attempt to run
Windows long enough to create a new Program Manager group.  You will be given
an opportunity to skip this step if you change your mind.  If you continue,
INSTALL will then place the GUI in the new group -AND- in your "Startup"
group.  Then INSTALL will automatically shut Windows down and finish the
installation. 

11.  If you specify GUI installation, but then exit from the Windows setup,
you may find the next time you start Windows that your Program Manager is
"minimized" to a small icon.  Double-click on the icon to restore Program
Manager to its normal size.

12.  The "Guide to Cardtalk" help program, which is placed in the Windows 
Program Manager "Cardtalk 3.10" Group during software installation, is a 
complete and up-to-date guide to Cardtalk software operation.  Refer to this 
Guide for help in using the Cardtalk software. (Note:  The Guide software is 
not installed if you choose to skip the Windows part of the installation 
process.)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                      Special Notes for TMB-240
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

13.  The Cardtalk driver program TMB240.SYS applies to both the TMB-240 
product and to the TMB-250 product.  If you have a TMB-250 desktop adapter, 
the installation program will install the TMB240.SYS driver -- this is 
correct.
