Burning PCMCIA cards with Laptop + Win 2000
If I burn a PCMCIA card
with WinNT 4.0, I can remove the card, and place it in an R6 unit and the DB
will load. Problem with this setup is, I can only burn 1 card, since the
OS crashes after that. NT does not do well with hot swapping
anything. When I attempt the same procedure with a windows 2000 machine, I
can theoretically hot swap the PCMCIA card, if I make sure I wait the
required 10-20 seconds for the machine to realize that I pulled the card,
and it issue's me a dialog box that informs me of this. I then have to
click the OK button to acknowledge to the system that I know I have removed the
card, then I can insert a new blank card to continue burning my PCMCIA
cards. That is all fine and dandy, but another problem arises, after
burning the PCMCIA card, I them proceed casually over to the R6 unit, and insert
the card, I then get the Download Election Dialog box, not the loading
election. I have looked at the contents of the PCMCIA card, and have not
seen any differences. The election will not load, and yes, I have tried
this a few times with the same results.
