Storage Card Device Driver
PCM2ATA.ADD, PCM2SRAM.SYS, and PCM2FLSH.SYS are
storage card device drivers. The following section describes these
storage card device drivers available in PC Card Director.
PCMCIA Storage Card Device Driver for OS/2
Note:
Install PCM2ATA.ADD for all storage
cards, even when you are using
SRAM or Flash cards.
PCM2ATA.ADD supports ATA cards, PCM2SRAM.SYS supports
SRAM cards, and PCM2FLSH.SYS supports Flash cards.
Any PC Card installed in the slot is recognized by its device driver,
so regardless of its type, you can access the card by the drive name
assigned to the slot. When using the PCMCIA ATA Card Mount
Utility, install the PCMCIA Storage API device driver
(PCMSSDIF.SYS) for OS/2.
PCMCIA Storage Card Device Driver for DOS and Windows
ATA cards, SRAM cards, and Flash cards are PCMCIA storage
cards. PAWATA.SYS supports ATA cards, PAWATAS.SYS supports
ATA cards and SRAM cards, and PAWATASF.SYS supports ATA
cards, SRAM cards, and Flash cards.
These device drivers assign a drive letter for each usable PCMCIA
slot. These drive letters are displayed when the device drivers are
initialized, and then you can use the drive letter to access the
installed PCMCIA storage card. When you run FORMAT.COM
against the drive letter, the SRAM card is formatted as a diskette and
the ATA or Flash card is formatted as a nonremovable disk. In the
File Manager under Windows, the drive letters are represented and
treated as a diskette drive, regardless of the storage card type.
Before Using PCMCIA Storage Cards
Format new PCMCIA storage cards before use. For Flash cards, run
the Flash Format Utility (FFORMAT.EXE/FFORMAT2.EXE); then
format the Flash card. For ATA cards and SRAM cards, there is no
need to run any programs before formatting the card. Format using
