The CardSoft device drivers cause memory cards in the card slots to be accessed

as drives E and F.

"

These drivers also provide audio feedback when a card is inserted or removed

from the card slot.  When the HHC recognizes that a card has been 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 F) is checked.  If a card is present and contains the appropriate startup

file (ROMINIT.BAT or AUTOEXEC.BAT), that drive is made the current drive

and the .BAT file is processed immediately.  No Norand Utilities program screens

are seen.
Please note that the Norand Utilities program does not process a CONFIG.SYS

file on the card.  If an application requires a CONFIG.SYS file that differs from

the one in flash, it is necessary to either boot directly from an SRAM card or boot

from the RAM drive.

When booting from an SRAM card, the CardSoft package cannot be installed.

The reconfiguration of the Cirrus controller, during a driver load process, causes

a loss of the use of the SRAM card that was being booted from.  You must boot

from the RAM drive to use a CONFIG.SYS file that installs the CardSoft

package.
To boot from an SRAM card, add the following lines to the AUTOEXEC.BAT (or

ROMINIT.BAT) file on the SRAM card:

REM Determine which drive was booted

BOOTDRV.COM

REM If A: was booted, continue with application
REM processing
IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 2 GOTO CONTINUE

REM Make A: the default boot drive

MMBFLAG.COM 0
REM Reset the computer
RESET.EXE
:CONTINUE
. . .

There are several configurations that provide booting from the RAM drive.  See

the SanDisk Card with Stacker paragraph, in Appendix A, Sample Configuration

Files.
