The following card libraries are for the support of modems and ATA drives:

GENMODEM.CLB
Generic modem library
These drivers provide audio feedback when a card is inserted or removed from
the card slot. When the 6100 Computer recognizes that a card is inserted, it
sounds like booĆBEEP." When a card is removed, it sounds like BEEĆboop."
Before the Norand Utilities program is executed, each accessory card slot (E: and
Before the Norand Utilities program is executed, each accessory card slot (E: and
F:) is checked. If a card is present and contains an AUTOEXEC.BAT file, that
drive is made the current drive and AUTOEXEC.BAT is processed immediately.
No Norand Utilities program screens are seen.
SanDisk Support
To support SanDisk cards loaded with STACKER, the CONFIG.SYS file in flash
loads STACKER.DRV (if it is present). In this case, the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on
the stacked volume of the card is processed.
Note that the Norand Utilities program does NOT process a CONFIG.SYS file on
Note that the Norand Utilities program does NOT process a CONFIG.SYS file on
the card. If the card is an SRAM card, it is possible to change the default boot
drive to be the card rather than the flash in order to process the CONFIG.SYS
file on the card.
If an application requires a CONFIG.SYS file different from the one in the flash,
If an application requires a CONFIG.SYS file different from the one in the flash,
the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on the card must copy the new CONFIG.SYS file to the
RAM drive and reboot from the RAM drive. Any drivers specified in the new
CONFIG.SYS that are not in the flash must also be copied to the RAM drive.
To access a SanDisk card loaded with Stacker from a laptop computer that supĆ
To access a SanDisk card loaded with Stacker from a laptop computer that supĆ
ports PC Cards, you must do one of two things:
"
Install the Stacker device driver on the laptop. This is done by running
SINSTALL from the SanDisk drive. SINSTALL is on the unstacked portion
of the SanDisk drive; or
"
Run Stacker Anywhere, which is a TSR shell that accesses the stacked porĆ
tions of the SanDisk card without needing to modify the CONFIG.SYS file.
Start Stacker Anywhere by typing STACKER" and exit by typing EXIT."
"
NOTE:
The version Stacker that is shipped on the SanDisks is incompatible with Windows 95. If
your development environment is Windows 95 and you need to leave Stacker on the San-
Disks, then when you copy files over to the SanDisk, you need to boot a previous version of
DOS in order to access the card.
your development environment is Windows 95 and you need to leave Stacker on the San-
Disks, then when you copy files over to the SanDisk, you need to boot a previous version of
DOS in order to access the card.
When loading Stacker and INTERLNK, be sure that Stacker is loaded before
INTERLNK in the CONFIG.SYS file. Also, in order to write files to the SanDisk
card using INTERLNK, both the 6100 Computer and the development PC need
to have Stacker loaded. If a SanDisk card becomes corrupted by INTERLNK, it
can be restored by reformatting it using FORMAT.COM from DOS 5 (also
supplied in the Programmer's Tool Kit).

NOTE:
All data will be lost when the card is formatted.
Also note that you will need to boot a previous version of DOS in order to run INTERLNK, if
you have a Windows 95 development environment.
