ATAINIT.EXE is a disk-partitioning utility that must be used to initialize any ATA cards supported by ATADRV. When a new ATA card is inserted into a PC Card slot, you need to initialize the card by using ATAINIT. ATAINIT finds the physical parameters (number of sectors, cylinders, and so on) to use, and then initializes the card. To initialize the card, do as follows: 1 Type the following command: ATAINIT drive_letter: Note: drive_letter is the actual drive letter. For example, if your ATA card has been assigned drive letter D, you should type: ATAINIT D: 2 Press Enter to accept the displayed information. If you want to specify a drive parameter, type P and press Enter. Then follow the instructions in the window. Using Memory Cards For you to use memory cards on your system, your CONFIG.SYS file must contain the following lines (in addition to the standard drivers that are always required): DEVICEHIGH=C:\CARDSOFT\MTSRAM.EXE DEVICEHIGH=C:\CARDSOFT\MTDDRV.EXE Drive Letters You need to know which drive letter to use to access the memory card. Note Drive letters are shared by memory and Flash memory cards. If you insert a memory card in slot 1, it will be assigned drive E; if you insert a Flash memory card in slot 2, it will use drive F. If you remove the memory card from slot 1, and insert a second Flash memory card in slot 1, it will be assigned drive E, because that is the drive letter assigned to slot 1 for memory and Flash memory cards. 74 IBM ThinkPad 380Z Online User's Guide

ATAINIT.EXE is a disk-partitioning utility that must be used to
initialize any ATA cards supported by ATADRV.
When a new ATA
card is inserted into a PC Card slot, you need to initialize the card by
using ATAINIT.
ATAINIT finds the physical parameters (number of
sectors, cylinders, and so on) to use, and then initializes the card.
To initialize the card, do as follows:
1
Type the following command:
ATAINIT drive_letter:
Note:
drive_letter
is the actual drive letter.
For example, if
your ATA card has been assigned drive letter D, you
should type:
ATAINIT D:
2
Press
Enter
to accept the displayed information.
If you want to
specify a drive parameter, type
P
and press
Enter
.
Then follow
the instructions in the window.
Using Memory Cards
For you to use memory cards on your system, your CONFIG.SYS file
must contain the following lines (in addition to the standard drivers
that are always required):
DEVICEHIGH=C:\CARDSOFT\MTSRAM.EXE
DEVICEHIGH=C:\CARDSOFT\MTDDRV.EXE
Drive Letters
You need to know which drive letter to use to access the memory
card.
Note
Drive letters are shared by memory and Flash memory cards.
If
you insert a memory card in slot 1, it will be assigned drive E; if
you insert a Flash memory card in slot 2, it will use drive F.
If you remove the memory card from slot 1, and insert a second
Flash memory card in slot 1, it will be assigned drive E, because
that is the drive letter assigned to slot 1 for memory and Flash
memory cards.
