FFS-SUP.TXT
Release 06.05.94
This file describes how to support FLASH cards with CardWare.
CardWare is currently not shipped with a FLASH filing software.
Nevertheless CardWare supports the following FLASH File Systems (FFS):
1. Microsoft FFS-II
-------------------
The FFS-II is not part of the CardWare package and must be purchased
seperately from Microsoft.
If you already own the FFS-II, install the MS-FLASH.SYS drive AFTER
PCDISK.EXE in your CONFIG.SYS.
Your CONFIG.SYS should look like this:
DEVICE = C:\CARDWARE\ssxxxxxx.yyy
DEVICE = C:\CARDWARE\PCCS.EXE
DEVICE = C:\CARDWARE\PCRM.EXE /AUTODETECT
DEVICE = C:\CARDWARE\PCENABLE.EXE
DEVICE = C:\CARDWARE\PCDISK.EXE
DEVICE = C:\CARDWARE\MS-FLASH.SYS
Consult the documentation of the FFS for further information.
CardWare can not read FLASH cards with the Write-Protect-Switch set to on.
DOS will return the error message 'Invalid Media...'.
So always set the WP-Switch to 'OFF'.
2. SCM FFS
----------
The SCM FFS is not part of the CardWare package and must be purchased
seperately.

If you already own the SCM FFS, REPLACE the PCDISK.EXE line in your CONFIG.SYS
with the SWAPBOX.SYS line.
Your CONFIG.SYS should look like this:
DEVICE = C:\CARDWARE\ssxxxxxx.yyy
DEVICE = C:\CARDWARE\PCCS.EXE
DEVICE = C:\CARDWARE\PCRM.EXE /AUTODETECT
DEVICE = C:\CARDWARE\PCENABLE.EXE
DEVICE = C:\CARDWARE\SWAPBOX.SYS /c:4 /e

Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
