How to Format SRAM Card and ATA F-ROM Card
To format, call FORMAT.COM in the basic drive (C:). Then, in the DOS prompt screen that
appears, execute the following command to format the SRAM card or ATA F-ROM card.
FORMAT.COM can also be called as a child process.
FORMAT G:
COM Port of Modem Card
COM Port COM3
IRQ 11
I/O Address 3E8h to 3EFh
Notes:
This port is not applicable for a 3.3V card, CardBus, or a ZV port.
Neither turn off the power nor remove the card while accessing the card. If this is done, system
operation becomes unstable.
Before using each type of PC card the PC card driver should be installed by means of the
CONFIG.SYS file. For information about the method used to write CONFIG.SYS refer to
Chapter 4.2 “How to Write CONFIG.SYS/AUTOEXEC.BAT”.
If the PC card is inserted in the slot and the card is locked, a card recognition sound (buzzer) will
be issued. Since the card is locked, a short period may be required until the recognition sound is
actually issued. Therefore, it is necessary to confirm this recognition sound in advance if
accessing to the card. An error may occur if the card is accessed before the recognition sound is
issued.
