The PCMCIA Card Programmer tool (Version 5) is required to accommodate the 
self-extracting archives included in the Option 11C section of this website. 
Note that the manual process of programming PCMCIA cards from a DOS shell or 
using Windows Explorer also functions correctly. 
Please note that this version of Card Pro is not compatible with Windows 2000 
operating systems.   For instructions on programming PCMCIA Cards with Win2000, 
please see “Manual Process” section below.

PCMCIA Card Programmer.

drive, using either DOS shell or Windows Explorer. 
Windows 2000 Manual Process:

format it.  Formatting with Win2000 will cause the PCMCIA Card to be

(executable file) to this folder.  Double click on the file to expand the
