3.1.6 Partitions
In some cases, disks are partitioned to contain multiple "virtual" drives on a
single disk. Partitioning is sometimes done to overcome the 2 gigabyte size
limit in MS-DOS™ (and create multiple 2 gigabyte drives), support multiple
operating systems and file systems, or make more efficient use of disk space.
FDISK.EXE (included with MS-DOS™ and Windows 95/98™), Disk
Administrator (included with Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista™), Norton Disk
Doctor™, and Norton DiskEdit™ are useful tools for managing and
analyzing disk partitioning schemes.
The SDR2-CF supports both extended and primary FAT partitions, but
always reads and writes files in the first partition it recognizes as a FAT
partitian.
3.2 Configuration Port settings
In some cases, you may wish to choose higher (or lower) data rates for the
configuration port.
For example, you may need a lower speed if you wish to configure, control,
and monitor your SDR2-CF remotely using a radio modem. You may need a
higher speed if you intend to download data through the serial port using
YMODEM or if you simply want a “snappier” menu display.
