ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. General Help ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The PCMCIA ATA Card Mount Utility (ATAMNT2) makes it possible to access the
partition, by assigning the partition a drive letter when a PCMCIA-ATA card has
multiple partitions.
ATAMNT2 offers the following functions on a PCMCIA-ATA card which has multiple
partitions.
1. Mounts the partition with a drive letter selected.
2. Dismounts the drive letter from the partition. The drive letter
dismounted can be mounted to a partition again by this program.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Window ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
In the main window, all partition information on PCMCIA-ATA cards in PCMCIA
slots are listed in the order of the PCMCIA slot number.
Slot
PCMCIA slot number beginning at 1.
Drive
Drive letter which is assigned to the corresponding partition.
Size(byte)
Partition size in bytes.
Label
Volume label, which is defined by the FORMAT or LABEL command, of
the partition. If the partition does not have the volume label, this
field would be blank. If the partition has not been formatted,
ATAMNT2 displays Not Formatted.
To select a partition, use the cursor moving key or the click button on the
mouse on the list.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The following 2 menus are provided by ATAMNT2.
PopUp Menu
MenuBar Menu
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.1. PopUp Menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
PopUp Menu is displayed when the mouse button for displaying the PopUp menu is
clicked on the partition information list. The popUp menu consists of 2 menu
items, Mount and Dismount.
Functions are identical with the Mount and Dismount menu items in the Option
Menu of the MenuBar Menu. Refer to MenuBar Menu.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.2. MenuBar Menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
On MenuBar, there are 2 menu items, Option and Help. The Option menu has the
following sub-menu items.
Mount
The partition can be mounted with a drive letter. When there are no
available drive letters, an error message is displayed. Otherwise,
the Mount Drive dialogbox will be displayed, and you can select a
drive letter from the drive letter list box. When the selected
partition already has a drive letter, this menu item is disabled.
Dismount
The partition selected can be dismounted. When the selected
partition is not assigned a drive letter, this menu item is
disabled.
Refresh
Update the partition information list. Execute this function when
you remove or insert a PCMCIA-ATA card without terminating this
program.
Quit
Exit ATAMNT2.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Drive Letters ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
ATAMNT2 treats drive letters, according to the following rules.
Reserved drive letter
This drive letter is reserved for a PCMCIA slot. This drive letter
can be used for all partitions on a PCMCIA-ATA card in the reserved
PCMCIA slot, and cannot be used for the partitions on a PCMCIA-ATA
card in other PCMCIA slots.
Free drive letter
This drive letter is free for an PCMCIA slot. This drive letter can
be used for all partitions on PCMCIA-ATA cards in any PCMCIA slots.
The number of free drive letters is determined by the option switch
of the PCMCIA-ATA device driver (PCM2ATA.ADD). The default is that
no free drive letter is given.
By Dismounting and Mounting the reserved drive letter, you can access all
partitions on a PCMCIA-ATA. However, you must define at least one free drive
letter to use multiple partitions on a PCMCIA-ATA card at the same time.
How to setup free drive letters
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1. How to setup free drive letters ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
With the option switches of the device driver, you can define the number of
PCMCIA slots on your PC and the number of free drive letters.
/S:nn
The number of physical PCMCIA slots. The default is 2 PCMCIA slots.
'nn' is a decimal number from 1 to 8.
/MDRV:nn
The number of free drive letters.
Example
BASEDEV=PCM2ATA.ADD /S:2 /MDRV:2
This example shows that there are 2 PCMCIA slots (the number of reserved drive
letters is 2) and the user defines 2 free drive letters. If the first drive
letter for a PCMCIA-ATA card is D, the second slot is drive E, and the
available free drive letters are F and G.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
In this help, the multiple Primary Partitions or logical drive(s) in an
