This topic describes the media types supported by the file server..
There are several types of file system media. For example,
the ROM: this is always
mapped to drive z:
, and contains the operating system
code
the RAM: a RAM drive
shares space with kernel and user program memory. This space is dynamically
allocated: there is no need for the owner of the machine to pre-allocate space.
The RAM drive is always mapped to drive c:
.
compact flash, accessed
through an ATA interface: this is the main supported removable media. Whether
there is a CF card slot, and what drive letters are allocated to it, are implementation
dependent. A typical choice would be to use d:
for the
first partition on the first CF device.
Installable file systems may support other media.
