Precautions
1. This card is normally used with 5V operating voltage for read
function and 12V+/-0.6V programming voltage for write (program)
function.
2. Please do not remove this card while it is operating,
otherwise, it may be damaged.
Ready to use
1.
Setting write-protect switch. This switch is just like a write-protect
label on the floppy disk. Toggle the switch to write-protect position,
write is inhibited. Toggle the switch to the opposite direction of
write-protect, write is enabled.
Erase/Format:
1. Before executing write (program) and read operation, user
should erase and format this card (please refer to the instructions in
your memory card drive or notebook PC user=92s manual).=20

The Omnigo just gives an error message about being write protected (it
wasn't) or Incompatible (it may be!). So I tried it in my IBM think
Pad, it didn't see anything by default, so I downloaded some Magicram
drivers from the new, thinking they might be what I needed (in the
event that this turns out to be a non-ATA card, this might be at least
partly true, if I have the correct understanding of how these things
work). I installed the software onto my think pad and ran the tinfo
utility, which could at least see the card, results below

This info may mean something to someone out there, as I have never
played with these before it doesn't mean a lot to me.=20
After loading this software I can now see the card, as drive f: but
tformat gives errors and aborts. The fact that I can see the
information above proves I am talking to / receiving information from
the card. Does anyone have any idea what I can do now?
My idea was to format the card on the IBM and then try it again in the
Omnigo, but the format bit doesn't work.=20
I need to find out within a few days so I can return the card if I
can't get it to work.=20
Any ideas would be appreciated, Thanks
