Re: SRAM under Win95, Laplink
To get either SRAM or FLASH working under W9x just read below accordingly
for each type.
For Win 9x identification of Flash and SRAM see info below:
Partitioning a SanDisk FlashDisk or CompactFlash.
Click on My Computer
Click on Control Panel
Click on System
Click on Device Manager
Click on View Devices by Type
Double Click Disk Drives
Double Click on GENERIC IDE DISK TYPE 80
Choose the following settings:
* Removable
* Int 13**
**IF Int13 is already checked, un-check the box, then re-check the
box.
Choose OK
Close Device Manager by choosing OK.
The system will prompt you to restart. Choose YES.
Reboot your system by shutting down (Click on Start)
After rebooting, go to DOS.
Click on Start
Point to Programs
Point to MS-DOS Prompt
Partitioning your SanDisk Card:
At the DOS prompt (C:\>), type FDISK <ENTER>
Type 5 for Change Current Fixed Disk Drive <ENTER>
"Enter Fixed Disk Drive Number (1-2)"
Type 2 <ENTER>
Type 4 for Display Partition Information
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE "FIXED DISK" YOU HAVE CHOSEN IS THE
CORRECT ONE (I.E., MAKE SURE THAT THE CAPACITY AGREES WITH THE CAPACITY OF
YOUR PCMCIA CARD). IF YOU ACCIDENTLY CHOOSE YOUR MAIN (C:) HARD DRIVE AS
THE "FIXED DISK" YOU WANT TO PARTITION, YOU WILL LOSE ALL OF THE DATA ON
THAT DRIVE!
Now partition your SanDisk Card as you would an ordinary IDE hard
drive.
Formatting your SanDisk Card:
At the C:\> prompt in DOS, type FORMAT D: <ENTER>
Note: The above command assumes that your SanDisk Card is
seen as drive D:. If your situation is different,
substitute the appropriate drive letter.
Now go back and make your SanDisk Card removable:
Click on My Computer
Click on Control Panel
Click on System
Click on Device Manager
Click on View Devices by Connections
Double Click on PCIC or Compatible PCMCIA Controller
Double Click on SanDisk ATA FlashDisk
Double Click on GENERIC IDE DISK TYPE 80
Choose the following settings:
* Removable
* Int 13
Choose OK
Reboot your system by shutting down (Click on Start)
