Creating & Formatting An Ms-Flash Partition - Teknor Industrial Computers VIPer807 Technical Reference Manual

12.02 CREATING & FORMATTING AN MS-FLASH PARTITION
FLASH FILE SYSTEM II on the VIPer807 allows only one MS-Flash read/write partition
on the data Flash device.
The MEMCARD software is used to create and format an MS-Flash partition. The
program can be used in one of two ways, by:
ù Running the program interactively and making selections in the menus, or
ù Executing the command from the DOS prompt with switches to specify the drive letter
and volume label of the drive you want to format, or to check the Flash device for
errors.
Note: Prior to creating a new or expanded MS-Flash partition, you must erase any
non MS-Flash section it will occupy. To do this, select option 5 - Erase entire
memory card - in the MEMCARD program. This erases the whole partition
that will be used by FLASH FILE SYSTEM, not the whole Flash disk. For
example, if one had specified FFS_VIP /START=10 in CONFIG.SYS, only the
384 KB used by this partition would be erased.
