DOS ain't dead

PCMCIA (CF) under DOS (Users)

Hi,
does anybody have experiences with CF cards via PCMCIA adapter in notebook under DOS? I tried many drivers and also the latest release of APSoft Cardware 7.00.009 which is quite recent (2006, newer than my NB).

At the baginning it was looking good, Cardware successfully detected my PCMCIA controller TI1420 but then failed on step:

DEVICEHIGH=C:\CARDWARE\PCENABLE.EXE /MS:2 /MC:2 /MD:2 /PI:ON [Enter=A,Esc=N]?A
PCENABLE/386 Version 7.00 - Release  4-Jun-2006

Detect Card Services Level 5.02 (Executed in Protected mode)
Detect DPMS Server Version 1.00 (Novell Version 1.44) installed

ERROR:   Unable to register as Card Services Client
         Return Code 0020h
         PCENABLE Installation aborted

and hanged on next. I had config.sys and autoexec.bat very simplified to avoid some possible collisions. Other drivers I tried didn't even detected my controller.
