Oops, this should read:

  DPMS             N/A         N/A        1632        1808 [1.4]  1600 [1.4?]

I have no idea which DPMS issue shipped with CW 5.00, but CW 6.00.12 ships
with DPMS 1.44.

For completeness, I also found a Phoenix web site:

http://www.phoenix.com/pcuser/Applications/pc_card_dos.html

where they claim that their PCM driver suite uses DPMS as well.

I wasn´t aware of this. Right now I´m not sure if this is the
same CardManager PCMCIA suite that comes with PC DOS 7/2000.
Does someone know?

Having no hands-on-experience with their CardManager, I have heard
that it is not as powerful and flexible as CardWare, which provides
really tons of configuration options (even in the old CW 2.50 1995
issue I was using).

Greetings,

 Matthias
