Memory Card Explorer Software
Memory Card Explorer ("MCE" & "MCE/NT") is a
graphical Windows software package which provides direct access to the data
stored in flash, SRAM and ATA PCMCIA memory PC Cards. It allows the binary
"image" of the card data to be saved to or loaded from the hard disk
drive in simple and fast operations. Data between any two address blocks can be
copied and edited.
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. In all cases MCE can access the data. Also included is a card viewer that allows direct hex display of the data on the card.
MCE is compatible with Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000 and XP
DLL Licensing
For Windows code developers, the DLL "engine" of MCE can be separately licensed for embedding into bespoke applications. This route allows the difficult aspects of Card & Socket Services and device driver writing to be avoided, because they are all handled by the DLL. Considerable time can be saved in this way when adding PCMCIA capabilities to the users application.
MCE and Desktop Machines
For customers wishing to use MCE in a desktop environment Elan's range of PCI Bus Reader/Writers makes this possible
