Prepare the Socket(s)

By default, the CARDTALK.SYS driver assigns one drive letter to each

socket when it loads during system startup. If you watch carefully,

you’ll see the message(s) that confirm the letter for each socket when

you start the computer.

If a memory or hard disk card has more than one partition, each

partition requires its own drive letter. The default configuration of the

Card Reader ignores all but the first partition on the card.

To configure the Card Reader’s sockets for multiple partitions, you

must change the CARDTALK.SYS /n option. For example, the

following device driver line in a CONFIG.SYS file would configure the

Card Reader so that each socket will recognize up to two partitions per

card:

DEVICE=C:\CARDTALK\CARDTALK.SYS /N:4

See the section titled Partitions, Drive Letters and Drive Access later in

this chapter for a more complete discussion of socket and drive letter

assignment.

Prepare the Card(s)

Follow these steps to prepare a card with more than one partition:

1. If you have not already done so, insert a memory or hard disk card,

choose the card socket button and choose the Configure button.

2. Choose Custom Partitions... from the Make Like list box. The

CardTalk Control Panel displays the Custom Partition Editor

dialog box.

3. Type the number of partitions in the Number of Partitions text box

and press the tab key. The CardTalk Control Panel displays

information for each partition between the large selection arrows.
