The Why? Button
If the configuration you’ve defined cannot be applied, the Why? button
appears at the top of the Configure dialog box. Choose this button for
an explanation of which parameters have not been specified or are
invalid for this card.
Current Configuration Box
The Current Configuration box displays information based on the
current Card Information Structure (CIS) for the card, if one exists.
The list box in the lower right corner of the Current Configuration box
lists the partitions.
New Configuration Box
The options you select from the list boxes on the left appear in the New
Configuration box.
List Boxes on the Left
The list boxes on the left list the settings for each option.
Manufacturer This box lists card manufacturers.
Model/Part Number This box lists the model number or part number
of the card based on the chosen manufacturer.
Bootable Checking this box tells the CardTalk Control
Panel to copy the system files to the card. The
presence of these files allows you to start a
computer from the PC Card. You will have to
copy additional files to complete the process of
creating a bootable card. The process to follow
depends on the card type and how you intend to
use it.
NOTE
Bootable Partitions and Compression
Bootable FAT partitions are usually 0.5M in size and
must not be compressed. The custom partitions
option allows you to have an uncompressed
bootable partition and a compressed partition for
other files.
