Do you know how I can register my driver in the GEOS.INI ?

Which kinds of port do I have to activate/deactivate explicitely by use of
the power driver ? Maybe I must/can do this with my pcmcia port as well.

This leads again to my presently major question:
How could I make my driver known to GEOS as a "standard driver" ?
Inserting it in GEOS.INI ?
I would be willing to replace an existing standard device driver, e.g.
pcmcia driver, or serial driver.
Have a nice weekend, Hans Diel
