Multi-Function Cards
The new PC Card standard provides support for multiple function PCMCIA cards. These cards
provide users with multiple functions on the same card. For example, a single PC Card can
include network support as well as fax/modem support. Multiple function cards can also
provide support for many other combinations of related technologies.
The advantage of this capability is that the need to replace or eject cards to change or enhance
functionality is eliminated. In addition, the need for multiple slots in the system may be
eliminated and, since Multi-Function cards share the same resources, memory is freed up.

To associate an application with a PC Card for auto-launch, perform the following procedure:
1. Highlight a card in the “Card Name” box by clicking on it.
2. Click on the “Card” button. The cards name and manufacturer information is
displayed below the “Card Name, Manufacturer” heading.
3. Click on the “Browse” button and select an application to launch for the card you
selected. The application name and location appears below the “Application File

4. Click on the “Test” button to verify that you have chosen the correct application ‘and
that it launches properly.
5. Click inside the “Enable” box to activate auto launch the next time the card is
inserted. You should also click the “Enable Confirmation” box if you want

6. Click on the “OK” button to accept the settings and exit.
Once configured, this application launches automatically when the PC Card is inserted.
“Stop” stops a card configured in PnP (Windows 95) only. Stop is used by Windows 95 to
flush all buffers and make sure no application is using or accessing the card. For example,

failure to stop occurs if an application using the card refuses to let go of the

Additional Hints for CardWorks Use
CardWorks Features
This section contains addition hints to be aware of when using
CardWorks,
Cards Recognized but not Configured
An unconfigured card displays a special icon that contains a yellow question mark or a red “x”
(depending on whether Configuration was attempted in PnP mode or CardSoft mode). Also, a
message is displayed that tells you that the card is not configured.
If the “x” appears, indicating that the PnP installation was not completed, do one or more of
the following things:
l
Select the Wizard Button and let the Wizard guide you.
l
Try removing and then reinserting the PC Card.
l
Use Remove from the Drivers List on the Properties Screen (Drivers are
described
earlier in this chapter) to remove this driver from the list, then remove and reinsert
the PC Card.
If the “?” appears, indicating that the card hasn’t been configured, select the Wizard Button
let the Wizard guide you.
Cards Recognized and Configured but Don’t Work
If the card is installed and configured yet does not work, the following courses of action may be
helpful:
and
For Modem Cards
Be sure that
all settings
in
CardWorks
and in your communications application
correspond and are correct.
For Network Cards
Use the Windows 95 Control panel network icon and make sure that all network
components have been installed correctly.
For Sound Cards
Be sure that sound is enabled both on the Sound card and in the software settings.
For Cards other than Modem or ATA Cards
Check with your PC Card vendor to make sure that all cards have current drivers

Chapter 4 Formatting PC Cards
This chapter describes how to prepare and use removable storage cards, such as ATA Hard
Disk/ATA Flash Disk cards, Flash cards (non-ATA type), and SRAM cards.
Before preparing removable storage cards for use, you must exit Windows and enter DOS.
Formatting ATA Hard Disk or ATA Flash Disk Cards
An ATA card has to be formatted before it can be used. To format the card, you must run the
ATAINIT command from the DOS prompt, then use the standard DOS FORMAT command to
format the ATA card. This section describes how to do this.
CAUTION: Make sure you are using the correct drive letter when preparing your ATA card,
since all information on the specified drive is erased.
To format a disk managed by ATADRV, perform the following procedure:
1. From Windows 95, select the Start button, select Programs, then select the MS-DOS
prompt.
2. From the DOS prompt (C:\), type cd cardwiz and press -=zEnter>.
3. Type
ATAINIT <drive letter>
and press <Enten.
If you omit a drive letter at the DOS prompt, you are asked to enter a
later.

The next messages that appears asks you to confirm that the format should proceed, and to
give the volume a label. A message then displays the drive capacity and other drive
statistics. This means that your ATA card is now ready for use.

Formatting Flash File Cards
This section describes how to use the MCFORMAT utility to configure and manage (non-
ATA) Flash Memory and SRAM cards. ‘Ihe MCFORMAT utility is a DOS application so you
must exit Windows before using it.
You can use the MCFORMAT interface to configure and manage your memory cards or you
can use switches with the MCFORMAT command on the DOS command line. The advantage
of MCFORMAT is that it supports both FTL (block device partitioning similar to DOS
FJXSK) and PFS2 (Flash File System 2) formatted partition types.
Creating and Formatting Memory Card Partitions
MCPORMAT can be used to create and format MS-FLASH (FF.32) or FTL partitions on a
Plash Memory card or MS-DOS partitions on an SRAM card.
CardWorks
4-2
SYSTEMSOFT @
Memory Card Partitions and Drive Letters
MTDDRV assigns drive letters to each partition on a memory card to allow the partitions to be
accessed as if they were another hard disk drive. Be aware that when the system boots, the
Flash File System reserves the maximum number of drive letters that may be required for
partitions on your memory cards, beginning with the first available drive letter. The number of
drive letters that is reserved by the Flash File System is determined by the number of PCMCIA
slots on the system and the number of partitions specified in MTDDRV (by default 1 partition
per slot).
For example, if you have a system with two PCMCIA slots, MTDDRV reserves two drive
letters (one for each PCMCIA slot) for use by your memory card partitions. The drive letters it
reserves are displayed on the screen at system boot, or by typing MTDDRV /? at the DOS
prompt from within the directory containing the CardSoft files. If the first available lelter is F.
MTDDRV resellres drive letter F for your first PCMCIA slot and letter G for your second
PCMCIA slot. These drive letters are reserved whether or not you are actually using them for
memory card partitions.
The situation described in this example could create a problem if you are connected to a
network, especially if you are mapped to manemus network drives. The system may run out of
drive letters to assign before all your network drives have been properly mapped.
Formattinng PC Cards
In any case, the drive letters that MTDDRV reserves may cause ail other drive letters to be re-
assigned (excluding drive letters for local hard disks or ATA cards). For example, if you have
a network drive that is normally Drive F, and you install MTDDRV. the network drive will no
longer be assigned to drive letter F on your system. As a result. you may have to modify the
drive letters in any network batch files that you use. For example, if you have a network batch
file that loads your network login files from Drive F, and MTDDRV has reserved drive lelters F
and G for memory card partitions, you would have to change the drive letter in your network
batch file to H (the next available letter).
Using the MCFORMAT Interface
The MCPORMAT interface enables you to easily perform the following actions:
l
Create and format a new partition
l
Format an existing partition
l
Erase a partition
l
Display partition information
The following sections describe these actions in more detail.
Create and Format a New Partition
