Solution:
More Detail for customer's question :
(1) The PCD-894A with the following configruation will appear the symthom of
ATA flash cards fail to work normally.
CPU crad: PCA-6147 B3-01
BOOT ROM of PCD-894A: Version 2.02
CradSoft: Ver 3.1 for 365
OS: DOS 6.22
When booting from ATA flash card (drive A:) and loading the cardsfot driver in
ATA flash card, the system will occour following sythoms.
1. System crashs when exectuing config.sys.
2. The system boots from ATA flash and a message "Bad or missing command
Interpreter" appears.(Note: The Command.COM has existed in ATA flash card).
3. Using cardsoft driver for VADEM chips, the ATA flash is bootable but another
real PCMCIA disk, which can be read/wrote cannot be found out.
After checking with the third party company, they issused this symthom is
caused by that the timing of driver and BOOT ROM don't match. But, they cannot
give us a solution.

CPU card: PCA-6145B & PCM-3110 A2
PCMCIA card: 4M ATA FLASH DISK
CardSoft: Ver 3.10
OS: DOS 6.22
question:Can not booting for driver A ( use PCMCIA ATA DISK card ).
Solution:
(1)AE team has offered a temporary solution for this case. We add a statement
to CONFIG.SYS. This statement will delay the timing of driver and makes the
PCD-894A work normally. The content of example CONFIG.SYS is listed as below:
DEVICE=A:\SETVER.EXE
DEVICE=A:\HIMEM.SYS
DOS=HIGH
FILES=30
DEVICE=A:\CARDSOFT\SS365sl.EXE
DEVICE=A:\CARDSOFT\CS.EXE
DEVICE=A:\CARDSOFT\CSALLOC.EXE
DEVICE=A:\CARDSOFT\ATADRV.EXE
DEVICE=A:\CARDSOFT\MTAA.EXE
DEVICE=A:\CARDSOFT\MTAB.EXE
DEVICE=A:\CARDSOFT\MTI1.EXE
DEVICE=A:\CARDSOFT\MTI2P.EXE
DEVICE=A:\CARDSOFT\MTSRAM.EXE
DEVICE=A:\CARDSOFT\MTDDRV.EXE
REM ** MTDDRV.EXE NECESSARY FOR FLASH, and SRAM CARDS **
DEVICEHIGH=A:\CARDSOFT\MS-flasH.SYS (<----Dummy statement, please fill in
yourself)
DEVICEHIGH=A:\CARDSOFT\CARDID.EXE

AE team test report:
Step 1: Install CARDSOFT from floppy A to HDD .
Step 2: Run c:\cardsoft\ATA
