Compatibility
Some configurations may not be compatible.
Limitations
The Microdrive is supported on Windows 95 via hotplug only. That is, the Microdrive is only properly recognized and operational when it is inserted into a PCMCIA socket with Windows 95 already booted and stable. This limitation has been determined to be due to the Microsoft supplied driver for these devices. Booting Windows 95 with the Microdrive in the PCMCIA slot results in the drive being recognized but not operational. Stopping the Microdrive, removal and reinsertion will result in the drive being recognized and operational. |
