Storage Card Device Driver Strage Card Device Driver ATA cards, SRAM cards, and Flash cards are PCMCIA storage cards. The following section describes the device drivers for these storage cards, available in PC Card Director. PCMCIA Storage Card Device Driver Note: Install PCM2ATA.ADD for all storage cards, even when you are using SRAM or Flash cards. PCM2ATA.ADD supports ATA cards, PCM2SRAM.SYS supports SRAM cards, and PCM2FLSH.SYS supports Flash cards. Any PC Card installed in the slot is recognized by its device driver, so regardless of its type, you can access the card by the drive name assigned to the slot. When using the PCMCIA ATA Card Mount Utility, install the PCMCIA Storage API device driver (PCMSSDIF.SYS) for OS/2. Before Using PCMCIA Storage Cards Format new PCMCIA storage cards before use. For Flash cards, run the Flash Format Utility (FFORMAT.EXE/FFORMAT2.EXE); then format the Flash card. For ATA cards and SRAM cards, there is no need to run any programs before formatting the card. Format using the FORMAT.COM program, by displaying the File Manager (for Windows), or by choosing the drive icon (for OS/2). Using PCMCIA ATA Cards with Multiple Partitions The device driver assigns a drive letter only to the active (bootable) partition of the ATA card if it holds multiple partitions. For other primary partitions or logical drives in an extended partition, use the PCMCIA ATA Card Mount Utility to assign the drive letter to it. Parameters for the PCMCIA ATA Card Device Driver The following are the parameters in the OS/2 PCMCIA ATA card device driver and their explanations: BASEDEV=PCM2ATA.ADD [/S:n] [/P:hhhh] [/EXIRQ:n] [/NOBEEP] [/B] [/STBTIME:n] [/MDRV:n] [/!DM] 188 IBM ThinkPad 380 or 380D User's Guide
