Introduction
Your EPSON® DYO™ 211 or 212 dual drive combines a 1.44MB,
3.5-inch diskette drive and a full-function Type III PCMCIA
(Personal Computer Memory Card International Association)
drive socket. The dual drive fits into any standard half-height
5.25-inch drive bay.
The diskette drive is power-saving and supports 3.5-inch
double-sided, high- or double-density diskettes. The PCMCIA
drive socket supports Type I, II, and III PC cards and is fully
compatible with the PCMCIA Specifications Release 2.x. Both
the DYO 211 and 212 drives contain a front panel PCMCIA
drive socket, which allows you to easily use RAM, flash
memory, and ATA cards, as well as any type of PCMCIA I/O
card. The DYO 212 contains an additional PCMCIA drive
socket which you can access through a bracket on the back of
the computer.
The EPSON DYO 211 or 212 drive offers the following features:
Diskette drive rack and pinion carriage seek mechanism
that reduces peak current of the diskette drive stepping
motor during high-speed seek operation
SystemSoft® card and socket services software that
automatically configures your computer to recognize the
type of card(s) in the PCMCIA drive socket(s)
Compatibility with all major card and socket services
software
Compatibility with FFS (Flash File System software), which
enables full diskette and hard drive emulation of Series I, II,
and III flash cards
Status light indicators that provide information about the
operational status of the drive and the battery status of the
PC card inserted into the drive
Single-chip LSI design that integrates the control and
read/write circuits, minimizes the number of components
required, and ensures reliability.
This manual explains how to install and configure your DYO
dual drive. It does not cover MS-DOS,® Windows™ ‘95, OS/2®
Warp, or the operation of PCMCIA card and socket services
software; see the manuals that came with these programs for
instructions.
System Requirements
To use the DYO 211 or 212, you must have the following:
An IBM® compatible 386 or 486
MS-DOS version 5.0 or later, OS/2 Warp, or
Windows ‘95
One available 16-bit ISA option slot
At least 640KB of RAM
Card and socket services software (DOS-based systems
only) for allocating system resources such as
communications (COM) ports and interrupt (IRQ) settings,
and controlling the PCMCIA slot(s) containing the PC
card(s).

Installing the DYO Dual Drive
This section explains how to install your DYO 211 or 212 dual
drive into your computer.
You will use the following procedures for installing the DYO
dual drive. These procedures are described in detail in the
sections that follow.
Installing the PCMCIA controller card-use this procedure
to install the option card that controls the dual drive’s
PCMCIA drive socket (if you are installing a DYO 212
drive, your controller card comes equipped with a second
PCMCIA drive socket as well)
Installing the drive-use this procedure to mount the dual
drive into a 5.25-inch drive bay. As part of this procedure,
you connect one end of the PCMCIA drive ribbon cable
before you mount the drive in case your computer’s drive
bay prevents you from connecting the cable after you
mount the drive.
Connecting the diskette drive ribbon cable and power
supply cable-use this procedure to connect the computer’s
power supply to the dual drive and the diskette drive
controller on the system board to the dual drive’s diskette
drive
Connecting the controller card-use this procedure to
connect the dual drive’s PCMCIA drive socket to the
PCMCIA controller card.

Depending on the drive configuration in your computer, you
may need to remove an existing drive or option card before
you install the DYO drive and PCMCIA controller card. For
instructions on how to remove an option card or a drive, see
the manual that came with your computer. Also, as you install
the DYO dual drive, make sure to refer to the option card and
drive installation instructions in your computer manual too, as
the configuration of your computer’s option slots and drive
bays may differ somewhat from the illustrations shown in this
Guide.
Installing the Controller Card
Before you install the DYO 211 or 212 PCMCIA controller card,
check the components on the card and the computer’s system
board to determine which slot to use. You must use a 16-bit
option slot, which has two connectors for the card. (An 8-bit
slot has only one connector; a 32-bit slot has three.) Make sure
that no components are touching or obstructing other cards or
cables. Also, see your computer manual for special slot
restrictions or considerations.
Refer to the instructions in your computer manual and follow
the steps below to install the 16-bit ISA controller card and the
DYO dual drive:
1.
Turn off the power to the computer; then disconnect the
power cord.
2.
Follow the instructions in your computer manual to remove
the cover from the computer.

3. Locate the option slots on the computer’s system board, and
remove the slot cover from one of the available 16-bit slots,
as shown below.
4. Install the M-bit controller card by holding it at the top
edge and carefully pushing the edge connector into the
option slot, as shown below.
