Getting Started Preface Thank you very much for purchasing the Minolta PCMCIA Card Drive CD-10. The Minolta PCMCIA Card Drive CD-10 can be connected to various makes of personal computers to read and write PC cards (PCMCIA/JEIDA specifications) and PC card adapter sets like the Minolta RM-2S/RM-4S SmartMedia™ image memory cards used with the Minolta CA-1S PC card adapter. The data recorded on a PC card with a digital still camera can be directly read into a personal computer. Please read these

Getting Started PC Cards Most PC cards compatible with PCMCIA/JEIDA standard specifi- cations (ATA cards and SRAM cards) can be used. A variety of prod- ucts are compatible with the PCMCIA/JEIDA specification, but the specifications are ambiguous and certain rules allow a large latitude. As a result, some PC cards may not conform with the read/write hardware and driver software. If you have questions about the com- patibility of specific brands, please contact us with the card type, manufacturer

Getting Started 1. Product Outline This PC card drive is designed to be connected to a personal com- puter to read and write PC cards (ATA cards and SRAM cards). A SCSI interface is used to enable the device to be connected to a Ma- cintosh, IBM PC/AT compatible, and various other personal comput- ers. 1-1 Using with Macintosh computers Connect the card drive to the SCSI port, the standard Macintosh in- terface. Use the enclosed MAC-PC Manager Lite driver software as an option to mount removab

Connecting 4. Connecting with a Computer This drive unit connects to a computer through a SCSI ca- ble. There are two types of connection depending on whether or not an additional SCSI device is to be used. These two cases are discussed in this section. Note: There are several physical forms of SCSI connectors. Check the SCSI connector of the computer and SCSI device to be connected and procure a proper SCSI cable. For connection with an IBM PC/AT compatible computer, a SCSI board must have bee

3 NOTE: The cable included in this package is a D-Sub25 to 50-pin full-pitch, intended for use with most IBM PC/AT compatible computers. Macintosh users may require a D-Sub25 to D-Sub25 SCSI cable, available at most computer stores. 4-2 Using with other SCSI devices Since the SCSI standard supports connection to one computer and up to seven SCSI devices (including SCSI devices built into the computer), you can use several CD-10 card drives in series or can connect the CD-10 drive to other SCSI

Connecting 4-3 Setting the SCSI ID The SCSI ID is a unique number assigned to each SCSI device. Therefore, two devices must not have the same ID number. The SCSI ID is independent of the order of physical device connection. Note that SCSI IDs may have been previously assigned to a disk drive, CD-ROM drive, or other built-in devices in the computer. To obtain this information, refer to the related computer and SCSI de- vice manuals. Take care not to use the same ID number more than once. NOTE: Ch

than 3 may be assigned. The SCSI ID for the built-in hard disk drive and the computer cannot be changed. Also, notice the SCSI IDs for Macintosh computers range from 0 to 7, the numbers on the SCSI switch are 0 through 9. If 8 and 9 on the switch are selected, IDs 0 and 1 are assigned, respectively. For IBM PC/AT compatible computers SCSI IDs 0 and 1 may have been previously assigned to the built- in hard disk drive. Therefore, the values 2 through 6 are recommend- ed as SCSI IDs for this driv

Operating 5. Basic Operations This section describes the operation relating to PC cards and PC card sets. SmartMedia SSFDC cards (like Minolta's Image Memory Card RM-2S and RM-4S) can be used in the CD-10 card drive when used with an adapter, such as the PC Card Adapter CA-1S. When used together, the adapter and SmartMedia card are called a PC card set. PC cards cannot be used if the software driver is not in- stalled in the computer. If this is the case, install the soft- ware driver before us

first and then the PC card icon appears on the monitor. This is the “mounted” state, which enables read and write operations for the PC card set. The time required between card insertion and mounting depends on the card. Usually, the PC card set can be mounted within several sec- onds. The lock indicator lights when the card is mounted PC card icon is displayed (3) If the PC card or SmartMedia card is not formatted, the follow- ing box appears. Do not click on "Initialize".

NOTE: The access indicator may flash on and off even after the eject oper- ation. In this case, you can remove the PC card set. NOTE: Do not select the ÒEject DiskÓ command from the ÒSpecialÓ menu to remove the card set. The CD-10 drive does not have an eject motor. The disk must be ejected manually. For IBM PC/AT compatible computers: The lock indicator does not light in most cases. Remove the PC card set when the access in- dicator is not lit. NOTE: When you mount the PC card set with the EZ
