TITLE:  Madge Card Socket Utility and CardBus 
 
 
ISSUE 
 
   When attempting to configure an Ascentia P70, an Ascentia P/80, 
   or an Ascentia A+ system with the MADGECS.EXE utility, the 
   following message will appear:
   
     "The controller has not been assigned legal bus 
     numbers by the bios, Madgecs not installed."
   
   This issue affects all Ascentia P70, Ascentia P80, and Ascentia 
   A+ systems.    

 
BACKGROUND 
 
   N/A    

 
ACTION 
 
   Download the file <A HREF="FTP://FTP.AST.COM/P-OTHER/CARDBUS.EXE">CARDBUS.EXE</A> from the AST WEBSITE.
   
   Copy files QTCFG.COM and MADGECS.CFG (included in the executable) 
   into the same directory as the MADGECS.EXE utility supplied by 
   Madge.
   
   This action will allow the system to assign the legal bus numbers 
   to the CardBus controller for proper PC card configuration.
   
   In order for the MADGECS.EXE utility to load, make sure that 
   QTCFG.COM is loaded before MADGECS.EXE. 
   
   Below is an example of how your STARTNET.BAT should look. 
   
   1..Run LSL
   2..Run the QTCFG.COM file 
   3..Run MADGECS.EXE file 
   4..Make sure the  MADGECS.CFG file is in the same 
      directory as the MADGECS.EXE file. Madge supplied the 
      MADGECS.CFG file. This file is needed to ENABLE 
      correct network configuration on the Ascentia P and 
      Ascentia A+ systems.
   
   5..Run the Netware VLM drivers.
