Bypassing Win2K automatic base memory allocation

I am having a memory conflict my laptop. I have added a
PC104 card that requires 64K of contiguous base memory.
The mfg of this card recommends the D block. (D:0000 to
D:FFFF) The problem is that when booting up Windows give a
small chunk of the D block to the PCMCIA Hardware, and
when the PC104 card tries to use the entire D block, it
wont. If I disable (or uninstall) the PCMCIA Hardware,
the PC104 card grabs the D block, and then when re-enable
the PCMCIA hardware, it uses a chunk in the E block, and
everything works great. The problem is that when I reboot,
it happens all over again. The PCMCIA hardware grabs a
small chunk in the D block.

How can I get Win2K to not use the D block for the PCMCIA
hardware? I've tried to restrict D block usage in the
bios, but Win2K ignores it.

It isnt a w2k issues...

reserve the block in the bios, or try resetting the ECM from the bios as
well.

NuTs,

The D block in BIOS has been reserved, but its being
ignored. What is the ECM?

Its like telling the system to rescan all its devices, and re-do its resouce
allocation at the hardware level.

Its normally under the Plug and Play section of the bios setup.

Cheers,
