Description
ATADRV.EXE /s:2 A block device driver that supports ATA type II flash or ATA type III hard disk PC
Cards. ATA drives are allocated the drive letters of E: and F: when this driver loads.
The /s:2 option installs this ATA driver as a slave to the memory technology driver
(MTDDRV.EXE) that follows, thus preventing the creation of new drive letters as
additional memory technology drivers are installed.
ATAINIT.EXE
This is a lowĆlevel format for SanDisk cards. It places a hard disk partition table onto
a blank ATA drive. This utility initializes the ATA drive the same as FDISK does with
a standard hard drive.
Note: use with CardSoft drivers only.
CARDID.EXE
Client device driver for the configuration of the PC Card slot/adapter and card on card
insertion detection. Also frees allocated system resources upon detection of card
removal.
CARDINFO.EXE Helps diagnose problems with cards by verifying if the card is recognized. It is a DOS
utility that scans the PC Card slots on the system and lists information about the
cards in the slots. It also lists any warnings or error messages that may have
occurred during the configuration of the cards by the CardSoft drivers.
Note: use
with CardSoft drivers only.
CS.EXE
Card services driver to manage the configuration of the system PC Card resources.
CS_APM.EXE
Enabling TSR for communication between power management and card services
software for the processing of suspend/resume requests.
CSALLOC.EXE
Resolution and assignment of system memory, I/O port, and IRQ resources for card
services.
MTDDRV.EXE
Memory technology driver; supports PC Card SRAM cards through MTSRAM.EXE
and allows for drive letter sharing between different types of memory cards (SRAM
and ATA).
MTSRAM.EXE
Memory technology driver for PC Card SRAM cards.
SSCIRRUS.EXE

chip.
