Lower card slot
(drive D)
Floppy drive
The hard disk drive (C) and the floppy disk drive (A) are provided with the OmniBook.
Drive D and/or drive E are available when PCMCIA mass storage devices are plugged
into the respective slots.
Example: Drive Icons in File Manager
Drive C is seldom removed. If you do change or remove and reinsert drive C, push the
OmniBook’s reset button afterward.
CAUTION
Before attempting to change or remove drive C, close all applications and exit
Program Manager (and Windows). Then turn the OmniBook off, unplug the ac
adapter, and remove the battery. If you don’t follow this procedure, you could lose
unsaved data or damage the drive or the OmniBook.
About the Card-Slot Drives
• The upper and lower card slots are normally drive E and drive D respectively. If
you insert a double-height (type III) card in the lower slot, it’s drive D—drive E
isn’t available. If you insert an I/O card in a card slot, the corresponding drive
becomes unavailable.
• If you create another drive on your OmniBook—such as a RAM disk in memory
using the RAMDRIVE driver—it may cause the card slots to have drive letters
higher than drive E.
The table below describes several types of PCMCIA disks supported by the OmniBook—
how they operate and how you can use them with the OmniBook.
