PrepCard

Prepares a PCMCIA memory card for use as a disk device or system RAM on systems with card slots.

Format

PREPCARD [DISK | RAM]

Template

DISK/S,RAM/S

Location

SYS:Tools

The DISK option prepares the PCMCIA card for use as disk device CC0:. Reading and writing to the DISK-prepared card is the same as reading and writing to a floppy disk. We recommend that you use a battery-backed PCMCIA card as disk if you wish to preserve your work.

The RAM option prepares the PCMCIA card for use as system RAM. Booting or rebooting with the card inserted adds the card's memory to the existing memory in the Amiga. You can use any PCMCIA cards as RAM, except Read Only (ROM) cards.

The DISK and RAM options are mutually exclusive; if you specify both options, PrepCard uses the first option specified and disregards the other. An error message results if you try to use PrepCard on a system that does not have a card slot.
