NOTE

Start Delay

After you insert an ATA device and wait for the

causes the system to pause until the delay has

elapsed. A single audible tone indicates the system

has recognized the device.

Memory Cards

A PC memory card is a storage device that functions much like a

diskette. Once you’ve formatted the card, you can access it directly

using standard MS-DOS commands and Windows File Manager.

FAT/Flash formatted cards require the CardTalk Control Panel or

TCXCOPY utility to copy files.

The CardTalk Control Panel, a Windows application, provides all the

options you need to prepare PC memory (SRAM and Flash) cards for

operation with the standard MS-DOS commands and with Windows.

This section explains how to use the CardTalk Control Panel to prepare

a memory card and copy files.

The most commonly used software for modifying these types of cards is

provided by Databook. Memory cards prepared using the Control Panel

or the TC Utilities can be used under MS-DOS or Windows.
