The base PCMCIA stack - included with Warp 4 - has $ICPMOS2.SYS. It is ONLY
required to enable power management functions of supported cards. Newer
builds of the PCMCIA/CardBUS stack have made numerous improvements to the
functionality and stability of the power management driver, particularly
with regard to (wired) network cards. The newest builds (which support
CardBUS) do indeed require either a PA subscription or eCS registration.
There may have been an early CardBUS-enabled build which was released prior
to IBM requiring Software Choice; I can't exactly recall.
That said, the power management IS NOT required in order to utilize Card &
Socket Services (PCMCIA & CardBUS). You just won't be able to suspend the
machine without ejecting the card(s), AFAIK.
