CompactFlash driver

[Sven Utcke <utcke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Thomas Mueller's modified flash-disk driver can now be found online at

ftp://kogs.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/pub/utcke/pc3k/dipssdp1.sys

In oder to install this you also need

ftp://hawk.psychol.ucl.ac.uk/pub/sharp-pc3k/sundrv.zip

Unpack the file sundrv.zip and run SINSTALL.BAT.  This will install
the three files DIPSSDP.SYS, SDISK.EXE and SFORMAT.EXE.  You then
replace DIPSSDP.SYS with Holger Mueller's modified driver (either
rename his driver to DIPSSDP.SYS, or change the config.sys).  Once you
have rebooted the computer you should be able to use most 5V CF-cards
up to 32MB.  You need to run

sdisk a:
sformat a:

(assuming that the card is in drive a:, the left hand drive ---
otherwise use b:) in order to prepare a card for use in the Sharp.

I would be interested to know which cards worked successfully, so that
I can improve on the table at
http://kogs-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/~utcke/home.html.  Please
mail me the manufacturer, number, capacity and reseller of any card
you tried, an whether it works with the normal driver, the modified
driver or not at all.

Thanks

Sven
