Title Reading/writing to QNX4 PCMCIA card under Win95/DOS
Ref. No. QNX.000000750
Category(ies) Utilities, PCMCIA, Filesystem
Issue Is it possible to read and write to a QNX4 supported ATA PCMCIA card under both WIN95 and QNX?



Solution 1. Set the card up under Win95. 
2. Boot under QNX. 
3. Start pcmcia server:
"Pcmcia.generic -i0 &"
4. Check to see what resources were designated to the card (NOTE:this is assuming that the configuration for the card was set up correctly-->see also /etc/readme/pcmcia and /etc/readme/technotes/pcmcia on any 4.XX system)
"pin"
5. Start the filesystem driver:
"Fsys.eide -vv fsys -no=san -N FLASH eide -a<address_from_pin> -i<irq_from_pin> -S &"
6.ls /dev should now show a /dev/san0. 
7.Mount the partition:
"mount -p /dev/san0". 
8. Start Dos filesystem driver and mount the dos filesystem found as /dos/c :
"Dosfsys c=/dev/san0t4 &" (t4 or t6 from ls /dev again).
9.  Now, access filesystem as /dos/c .
