52 Allegro DOS Owner’s Manual
Program and Data Storage Options
The Allegro has two options for storing programs and data: a
solid state hard disk and a PC card slot for memory cards.
Storage Designations
The solid state disk and PC memory cards are accessed by typing in
their drive assignment letters at the DOS prompt as follows:
Drive Type of Storage
C: Solid State Hard Disk
D: PC Card
Solid State Hard Disk
The Allegro has a 24 M solid state hard disk used to store programs
and data. It can be read from and written to just like the hard disk
on a PC. The hard disk is non-volatile so information stored on it is
retained even when no power is supplied to the Allegro.
Some utility fi les and drivers are factory installed on the C: drive
including: AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, Text Editor, PC Card
Drivers, and MS-DOS Commands. To see a complete list of these
fi les, refer to Chapter 5, Technical Reference.
PC Cards
The Allegro has a user-accessible PC card slot (PCMCIA 2.0 Type II)
that allows you to add mass data storage to your Allegro with PC
cards.
PCMCIA stands for the Personal Computer Memory Card
International Association. This association has developed standards
for PC cards. PC cards are about the size of a credit card and come in
three thicknesses or types.
