PC Cards
Most PC cards compatible with PCMCIA/JEIDA standard specifi-
cations (ATA cards and SRAM cards) can be used. A variety of prod-
ucts are compatible with the PCMCIA/JEIDA specification, but the
specifications are ambiguous and certain rules allow a large latitude.
As a result, some PC cards may not conform with the read/write
hardware and driver software. If you have questions about the com-
patibility of specific brands, please contact us with the card type,
manufacturer, and card specifications. Special driver requirements
may be necessary for Linear Flash, AIMS, and other PC cards. Be-
fore using a PC card, first read the instructions for the card.
All unformatted PC cards should be formatted in the camera with
which they are used.
When using the Minolta RD-175 digital camera to format cards,
erase all of the data on the card before formatting it.
PC Card Adapter Sets
In this manual, all of the examples are shown using the Minolta PC
CA-1S card adapter with the Minolta RM-2S/RM-4S SmartMedia
image memory card.
Digital Cameras
The Minolta PCMCIA Card Drive CD-10 is compatible with flash/
ATA, hard drives, and SRAM. However, all cards must be DOS for-
matted.
