Conventions
This manual uses the following conventions:
Italics serve two functions: In cross references, they
identify the names of sections and chapters
within this guide. In syntax statements, they
identify place holders that require you to supply
a value.
For example:
“tcformat -type flash drive:”
The italics indicate you must replace drive with a
value, in this case the drive letter of the socket
that contains the Flash card.
Bold
identifies components called out in the
accompanying illustration and the names of the
keys on the computer keyboard.
This typeface
identifies text you see on the screen.
For example:
tcxcopy *.dat e:
PC Cards
The Personal Computer Memory Card International Association
(PCMCIA) is a group of companies who have come together to develop
a common industry standard for the credit-card sized cards used in
portable and desktop computers. These cards are known as “PC Cards.”
This section introduces some of the terms used throughout the manual
to describe how these cards work.
Software Components
The software that manages the PCMCIA interface consists of four
components:
• Socket Services (TMB250.SYS)
• Card Services (CTALKCS.EXE)
• Super Client driver (CARDTALK.SYS)
• PCMCIA Card Services client drivers (files supplied by card mfg.)
