Title: Back-Up Vision ATA card software...HELP! Post by: CVslots on August 25, 2011, 12:18:30 AM Trying to back-up an ATA card for a Vision game...SanDisk 2.0 disk. Have port on computer, but computer wants to treat it like a port versus a drive??? :103-
Any help would be appreciated...thanks guys. Title: Re: Back-Up Vision ATA card software...HELP! Post by: Slotmaster on August 25, 2011, 09:58:51 AM In the past all I had to do is copy the files over to the flash card, if you computer does not see it as a regular dos disk then the card could be bad which I am guessing it's fine as you are using it in the game?
The cards can be read on any computer and they do not need anything special to be seen. Have you read cards in the past? It can be missing drivers for the card reader and or just not compatible etc. Title: Re: Back-Up Vision ATA card software...HELP! Post by: CVslots on August 25, 2011, 01:34:18 PM I have not read cards in the past...I was trying to do this one on an older computer in which the slot was being used for a wireless card. When I inserted the card, I could not find where I could open it and see the files on the card. I could only see files on my harddrive, the CD drive, and a 3-1/2" disk drive. My newer laptop has the slot/drive for the card to insert, however, the card will not insert all the way. :103- When I look inside, theres a tab on the right preventing it from reaching the readers. The carrier/cover that slides in to the slot when it's closed has a place to hold what i'm guessing is a smaller card, which lines up on the left with the readers in the drive/port.
Thank you very much for your input. This seemed easy enough when I first set out to do it! Title: Re: Back-Up Vision ATA card software...HELP! Post by: proten on August 25, 2011, 01:43:23 PM you need a Laptop PCMCIA CF Compact Flash Card Reader Adapter

I first bought 2GB & 4GB flash cards and the Vision computer gave me nothing but errors. Title: Re: Back-Up Vision ATA card software...HELP! Post by: CVslots on August 25, 2011, 01:58:10 PM Good to know in advance. Thanks!
