SoftDrive Professional PC Card Storage Device Software

SoftDrive Professional More Like This SoftDrive Professional is a software driver set bundled with PC Card Manager software for handling SRAM and Linear Flash Cards under Windows 2000 and Windows XP since these PC Cards are no longer supported by Microsoft. Many applications require read/write of binary data formats (Linear Flash Cards). SoftDrive provides such services under Windows 2000 and Windows XP operating systems. SoftDrive also allows for direct byte-oriented data access to ATA Flash Cards, including CompactFlash, SmartMedia and MultimediaCard/SD Cards. SoftDrive works directly with a build-in PC Card slot in laptops. Third party PC Card drives (ie. PCI to PC Card) are not supported.

SoftDrive Professional enables a graphical Windows package providing direct access to the data stored in Linear Flash, SRAM and ATA PCMCIA memory PC Cards. It allows saving and loading of binary 'images' of card data to a hard disk drive in simple and quick operation. Data between any two address blocks can be copied and edited with a hex editor. The format of the data on the card is unimportant: it could be a TFFS style format, or it could be a proprietary format written by a logger or portable instrument, or it could contain a mixture of formats. SoftDrive Professional can access the data. Also included is a card viewer that allows direct hex display of the data on the card.
