Memory Stock storage in PCMIA slot on IBM 360c
I have an IBM 360c with Windows 3.1, and I was trying to use a PCMCIA memory card adapter to read and write to memory cards, but in easyplaying it just reports a not ready status for the card. Is there any way to fix this?
Re: Memory Stock storage in PCMIA slot on IBM 360c
What is the capacity of your card? I think 2 gigs is the maximum one can use with this laptop.
Do you load the card and socket services drivers and storage drivers in DOS (IBMDSS01.SYS, IBMDOSCS.SYS, DISKDRV.SYS)?
Also loading emm386 can prevent the pcmcia card from working, unless certain memory range is excluded. So you can try either rem out emm386 or add X=C800-CFFF option
like this DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=C800-CFFF

The memory stick’s capacity is 128 mb. I checked the CONFIG.SYS, and the statement to exclude the memory range was already there. I did look for the card drivers though, and I could not find the DISKDRV.SYS one.

Re: Memory Stock storage in PCMIA slot on IBM 360c
Once your drivers are installed, you should have no issues. I frequently use 2GB CF cards in an adapter with mine, for moving files back and forth. Remember that the FAT16 limit is 2GB. 4GB works fine in NT/95/98. I don't know if cards larger than 8GB work, but I'll have to try it.
