Advanced Information for PC Cards 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 OS/2 PCMCIA ATA Card OS/2 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] /S:n /P:hhhh /EXIRQ:n /NOBEEP /B Specifies the number of PC Card slots. /S:1 shows that there is only one PC Card slot. When this parameter is not set, the number of PC Card slots is set to 2. Specifies the lower limit for the I/O address of the ATA card. The device driver assigns the next usable I/O address from this lower limit to the card. When this parameter is not set, the device driver looks for a usable address and assigns it to the card. Specifies the IRQ level that is not assigned to the card. You can set more than one IRQ level. Specifies not to beep when a storage card is installed. When this parameter is not set, you will hear a beep every time a storage card is installed into the PC Card slot. Specifies that OS/2 has started from an ATA card. When this parameter is set, there will be no redundancy in assigning the logical drive to the slot Appendix B. Advanced Information for PC Cards 201
