Formatting PCMCIA cards
Before a PCMCIA card can be used in the OMP-MODL system, it must be
properly formatted and prepared. As supplied from Omega Engineering
Incorporated, PCMCIA cards are already formatted and prepared however,
this procedure is fully supported under HyperWare.
To format and prepare and new card, insert it into the PC-1 drive and
double-click on the PD-1 graphic. HyperWare will detect that the card has
not been formatted nor prepared and a dialog will respond accordingly.
Selecting YES at the request will automatically format the card using the
TCFORMAT.EXE utility from the CardTalk directory, then the 3 required files
(FORMAT.MEM, DATA.MEM, and NET.MEM) will be copied onto the
PCMCIA card.
Windows 95 - Special PCMCIA Card Considerations
In systems running Windows 95, HyperWare cannot format the card by
calling the TCFORMAT command. To format the card, open a DOS window
(Start\Programs\MS-Dos Prompt) and manually run the TCFORMAT
command with the following syntax:
TCFORMAT X: where X is the PD-1 drive letter
After the card has been tcformatted, the copying the three support files can
be completed from within HyperWare. Launch HyperWare and double-click
on the drive, then follow the ensuing dialogs.
M EMORY C ARD H ANDLING / M AINTENANCE
The MC series memory cards are packaged in a protective metal case, however
reasonable care should be exercised in the handling and use of the cards. The card
should not be exposed to water, extremely high or low temperatures (eg on the dash
of a car on a sunny day), or dirt/mud... especially on the connector end.
