To initialize an ATA card, run the ATAINIT command from the DOS prompt, and then use the standard DOS format command to format the ATA card. Note ATAINIT works only with ATA cards that are supported by the ATADRV driver. If you cannot use your ATA card, it might be an unsupported card. Check with the manuals that came with the card. 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 ATAINT. 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: ATAINT 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 80 IBM ThinkPad 600 Online Book
