CAUTION

Before inserting a PCMCIA card into the drive, touch

the case of the PC or some other ground to

discharge any static body charge. This step

minimizes the chance of damaging the card by

discharging your body static charge through the

PCMCIA card connector.

1. Insert a formatted and prepared (as supplied by Omega

Engineering Incorporated) PCMCIA card into the drive.
Be sure that a card is inserted fully into the drive before
testing.

2. Use the conventional DOS command DIR X: where X

represents the drive letter assigned to the PCMCIA drive
to read the files on the card.
Three files should be listed on the card:

FORMAT.MEM

NET.MEM

DATA.MEM

HyperWare Software Configuration

After the PD-1 drive has been connected, the drivers installed, an installed
drive letter determined, and access to the drive has been tested through
DOS, HyperWare must be configured.

Launch the HyperWare program under Windows and select the
Options/Paths menu from the HyperComm Window Menu Bar.

1. In the PCMCIA Format Command Text Box specify the

drive and path where the CardTalk drivers are located
followed by the command TCFORMAT.
In most installations, this will be
C:\CARDTALK\TCFORMAT.EXE.

The command TCFORMAT is a special command
supplied with the CardTalk drivers that is used for
formatting PCMCIA cards in the PD-1 drive. The
resulting card format is DOS compatible.

2. In the PCMCIA drive Text Box, specify the drive letter

that is used to access the PCMCIA drive. (This letter was
determined and tested earlier in checking installation of
the drive with the DIR command.)

3. Select OK to save the changes and close the dialog.

4. Double-click on the PC drive graphic and HyperWare

will scan the PCMCIA card installed in the drive checking
for proper format and the presence of the three support
files.
