Enabling the SRAM
In order to enable the EPC-33/34’s SRAM, you must format the SRAM using
SRAMFMT.EXE, then load the device driver SRAMDISK.SYS and reboot.
SRAM Formatting Software
SRAM data integrity may be jeopardized when power is removed during a series of
write operations to the SRAM. For this reason, SRAMFMT checksums each sector.
The SRAMDISK.SYS driver must compute the same checksum in order for the
sector read to be successful. Corrupt sectors may be repaired with standard disk tools
such as MS Scandisk or Norton Utilities.
USAGE: SRAMFMT
Formats the SRAM and prepares it for usage.
Note that it is necessary to flush the DOS buffer areas prior to accessing newly
formatted disks. This is accomplished by rebooting.
Files can be written to an SRAM device using standard DOS copy commands
(COPY, XCOPY) after formatting it and loading the device driver.
Each file is created with the same attributes as the corresponding source file. The
date/time stamp for file modification or creation stays the same also.
