6... PCMCIA CARD CONFIGURATION AND USE

CAUTION

Before inserting a PCMCIA card into the drive, touch

the case of the PC or some other ground to discharge any static body charge. This step minimizes the chance of damaging the card by discharging your body static charge through the PCMCIA card connector.

1.Insert a formatted and prepared (as supplied by Omega Engineering Incorporated) PCMCIA card into the drive. Be sure that a card is inserted fully into the drive before testing.

2.Use the conventional DOS command DIR X: where X represents the drive letter assigned to the PCMCIA drive to read the files on the card.

Three files should be listed on the card:

FORMAT.MEM

NET.MEM

DATA.MEM

HyperWare Software Configuration

After the PD-1 drive has been connected, the drivers installed, an installed drive letter determined, and access to the drive has been tested through DOS, HyperWare must be configured.

Launch the HyperWare program under Windows and select the

Options/Paths menu from the HyperComm Window Menu Bar.

1.In the PCMCIA Format Command Text Box specify the drive and path where the CardTalk drivers are located followed by the command TCFORMAT.

In most installations, this will be C:\CARDTALK\TCFORMAT.EXE.

The command TCFORMAT is a special command supplied with the CardTalk drivers that is used for formatting PCMCIA cards in the PD-1 drive. The resulting card format is DOS compatible.

2.In the PCMCIA drive Text Box, specify the drive letter that is used to access the PCMCIA drive. (This letter was determined and tested earlier in checking installation of the drive with the DIR command.)

3.Select OK to save the changes and close the dialog.

4.Double-click on the PC drive graphic and HyperWare will scan the PCMCIA card installed in the drive checking for proper format and the presence of the three support files.
