Cards that Require Only CARDTALK.SYS4
Page 54
CARDTALK.SYS displays a blue screen (if you have a color monitor
or LCD) with a message, and waits for you to insert the card. Insert the
card and choose Retry.
It is not necessary to remove the fax/modem when you finish a
communications session if you plan to use it in a later session.
Verifying Installation
To verify that the fax/modem is working properly, follow these steps:
1. Load your communications software program.
2. Set the COM port.
3. Go into terminal mode and enter AT.
The fax/modem should display (return) OK.
4. Enter ATH1 and listen for the dial tone.
5. Enter ATH to turn the dial tone off.
If you have further problems, refer to the owner’s manual for your
communications software and to Chapter 6, Troubleshooting.
ATA Devices
The two major classes of ATA (sometimes referred to as IDE) interface
devices are solid-state Type II cards and rotating Type III drives. Both
appear as disk drives to the system.
Supported Devices
CardTalk supports these ATA devices:
• Solid-state ATA, such as the SunDisk series SDP and SDPL cards,
Seagate, AT&T, Intel and other cards.
Certain older solid state ATA Flash cards, such as the Grid GE or
SunDisk SD series cards are not PCMCIA-compatible and will not
work with CARDTALK.SYS.
• PCMCIA/ATA rotating hard disk drives whose I/O card interfaces
are PCMCIA compatible. Examples include Maxtor, MiniStore,
IBM, Integral, Calluna, Western Digital and others.
