Cards that Require Only CARDTALK.SYS

Databook supplies the FFS2 driver, MS-FLASH.SYS with CardTalk.
Since no other drivers are required to format a Flash card with FFS2,
this section discusses this Flash file system.
TFFS comes with an M-Systems driver and utilities. Since TFFS
requires an additional driver that is not supplied by The Manufacturer,
the discussion of Flash cards formatted with TFFS is in Chapter 6,
Cards that Require Additional Drivers
. Information on the SS\MS FFS
is also in Chapter 6,
Cards that Require Additional Drivers
.
Formatting Cards with FFS2
You may format Flash cards using the CardTalk Control Panel or TC
utilities. For more information on using the CardTalk Control Panel to
format cards refer to Chapter 5,
Using the CardTalk Control Panel
.
Microsoft Flash File System v2.0 includes the MEMCARD.EXE
program for partitioning and formatting Flash cards.
NOTE
Using Another File System
You don’t have to use FFS2 formatting to use Flash
cards. If you do not plan to use FFS2, you may
delete MS-FLASH.SYS from the \CARDTALK
directory and remove (or “rem out”) the lines that
load them from the CONFIG.SYS file. This saves
considerable memory.
Using a Card Formatted with a Microsoft FFS2
Microsoft Flash File System v2.0 (FFS2) is a formatting scheme that
treats a Flash memory card as if it were a standard read/write storage
device, such as a disk.
If you select Microsoft FFS2 during the installation program, the
program copies the FFS2 driver to the \CARDTALK directory, and
adds the MS-FLASH.SYS driver to your CONFIG.SYS file.
Although MS-FLASH is not a client driver, it performs similar
functions, and must be loaded after CARDTALK.SYS in your
CONFIG.SYS file.
