Allegro DOS Owner’s Manual 45
PC Card Slot
The Allegro has a user-accessible PC Card Slot (PCMCIA 2.0 Type
II) that allows you to add mass data storage and I/O capabilities to
your Allegro. The PC card drivers and utilities are factory-installed
on the Allegro. These programs provide the card and socket services
necessary to operate the card. In DOS, the PC card is the D: drive.
Types of PC Cards Accepted
The PC card slot accepts Type I or Type II cards. These cards
include ATA Flash cards, SRAM (Static Random Access Memory),
Compact Flash cards, or Input/Output cards. All types have a 68 pin
connector for attachment to the Allegro. The cards must be 5 V or 5
V/3 V (PC cards that are 3 V only are not supported). The PC card
slot is a 16 bit card slot. It is not a “card bus” slot.
Memory Cards
A memory card is a solid state, self-contained memory board housed
in a credit card-sized package. There are several types and brands
of cards on the market. These cards behave like hard disks. Refer to
Chapter 3, Program and Data Storage Options, for more details.
Input/Output Device Cards
Input/Output Device cards can provide additional communication
capabilities to your Allegro. Common I/O cards include fax/modem
and network cards. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for
information on how to use these cards and for information about
hardware or software accessories that may be required. Contact our
sales department for information on compatible cards and technical
information about the installation and operation of the cards.
▲ Inserting and Changing Cards
ATA cards should be ready to use. If you are using an SRAM
card, make sure the battery is installed (if required) and that the
card has been formatted.
Turn the Allegro off and place it face-down on a clean surface.
The card slot is located in the top part of the Allegro behind the
display. It is accessed from behind through the PC card slot door.
There are two screws holding the door in place. Turn each screw
counter-clockwise l/4 of a turn to release the door.
