SUMMARY

PCMCMD.EXE and PCMCIA are two separate utilities that can be used to troubleshoot a PCMCIA (PC Card) problem.

MORE INFORMATION

PCMCMD.EXE is located on the Windows NT Workstation and Server CD-ROM disks under the \SUPPORT\DEBUG\<platform> directory. The PCMCIA applet is included with the Windows NT 3.51 Resource Kit.

PCMCMD.EXE

This utility reads the tuple (hardware configuration) information of the card and dumps the information. You may run the program from Windows NT command prompt, by typing: 

    PCMCMD > PCCARD.TXT
PCCARD.TXT now contains text information such as the manufacturer, product name, and product information. If PCMCMD doesn't dump any information, the Windows NT enabler probably cannot detect the PC CARD.

PCMCIA Applet

After you install the Windows NT 3.51 Resource Kit, the Windows NT Control Panel contains the PCMCIA applet. The applet, similar to PCMCMD utility, provides information about the PC CARD device currently installed on the system.
