16.2 Card Types
The Smart Card interface requires 68pin PCMCIA2 compatible
memory cards. Attribute memory is not required and is not used.
128k, 256k, 512k, 1M, 2M. Battery life varies with manufacturer. As
an example Fujisoku 256k cards have an approximate life of 5.9 years,
2M cards have an approximate life of 1.1 years.
256k, 512k, 1M, 2M.
All FLASH cards are formatted as 256k with a
single ALLDATA file recorded on them. The FPC-900 has been tested
using Series 1 flash cards: e.g. Centennial FL256-20-1XXXX-XX.

Smart Card Format
The Smart Card filing system on the 900r remote uses a ‘pseudo-
floppy’ format. Formatting a Card on the 900r Remote writes a
standard PC DOS format to the card beginning at byte 0 as if it
were the first byte on a disc. The format writes a DOS boot sector
with basic format data but does not write boot software. This is
followed by a single File Allocation Table (FAT) starting at byte
200H. The root directory is written with one entry, a sub-directory
called BSSDATA. All data files used by the remote are stored in
the BSSDATA sub-directory as there are limits to the number of
files that can be stored in the root directory.
The different file types used by the remote have different file
extensions as follows. The file sizes should be taken as
approximate and may change with new versions of software.

The ‘pseudo-floppy’ filing system as used on the remote conforms
to the PCMCIA PC CARD standard although it does not format
Card Information Structure (CIS) information. BSS has tested and
developed the Card filing system using an IBM compatible PC
card reader and a range of palm-top computers, but cannot
guarantee that the cards can be read by any particular piece of
computer equipment.
To be able to transfer files to and from an
external computer note the following:
!
Always format the card on the external computer.
"
Always write a sub-directory called BSSDATA into the root
directory straight after formatting the card.
