Flash Cards

[Annelise Anderson <ANDRSN@HOOVER.STANFORD.EDU>]

I am curious about how flashcards, that is pcmcia memory cards, work
on the ThinkPads.

I saw one listed for about $300 that was provided 2.5 MB.  That seems
like expensive memory to me!

Is it possible to write to these cards, put subdirectories on them,
revise and save files, delete files, copy files from them, just as
one can on, say, a floppy drive?  Do they respond to all the usual
DOS commands?  Can you use "join" or "append" to access the data as
you can with a regular floppy drive?

Thanks for any advice.
