- [ 7. SRAM Disk]
- EMBEDDED BIOS RAM DISK
- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
- Embedded BIOS has an integrated RAM disk driver that provides disk drive
- emulation with SRAM or DRAM devices. This allows hand-held data capture
- systems to keep battery-backed information in a file system that is
- compatible with DOS at the sector-level.
-
- The RAM disk is compatible with PCMCIA RAM disks. This makes movement
- of data in "datacap" applications especially easy, and at the same time
- makes application product development easy because application software
- and data files can be stored on SRAM cards during testing.
-
- The Embedded BIOS ROM disk can operate in either protected mode or real
- mode, enabling its operation in low-end 186-based systems or high-end
- 386, 486, and Pentium systems with RAM mapped up to 4.2 gigabytes.
