    The dsp-100 enabler does not support automatic configuration of adapters upon insertion, more commonly referred to as "hot swapping". This means the adapter must be installed in one of the system's pcmcia sockets before executing dsp130en.Exe. If more than one adapter is installed in a system, the e...
