How can I use a 6 megabyte PC Card with dataPAC?

With the existing dataPAC operating system releases you can format a 6 megabyte PC Card in the dataPAC instrument so that it has a 4 megabyte format. Then you can safely use the 6 megabyte card as if it were a 4 megabyte card. You will only be able to store 4 megabytes of data on the card, not 6 megabytes. If you have a PC Card Reader in your PC that you can use to format the 6 megabyte card correctly then you can use the card in the dataPAC without any problems. But if your PC Card Reader mistakenly puts an 8 megabyte format on a 6 megabyte card, then you should not use the card in this manner. Using the card in this manner could result in loss of data.
