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.

                          SCM Vertriebs GmbH

                          Fax:   +49/(0)8441/828 84

   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

   Consult the documentation of the SCM FFS for further information.
