Is there any way I can tell the Sony MSACPR1 is a clone of the FilmReader or not? Thanks And it works in Windows 95 with the bundled software on the same laptop. However, after I installed the DOS driver, it keeps showing "Commuter Disk drive is not present".
PIA2 driver files I bought the Sony MSACPR1 which looks almost the same as FilmReader. More pics (label & box details etc) in high res: The package (my CF card and PCMCIA adapter are also pictured): So thank you Ozzuneoj for this thread, and I hope my info also helps others in the future. A new storage option on my 486, this time at the front for easier access. And so was installation run CDISK.EXE and that was that. The disk wouldn't read in my 486, but I managed to get everything off it with a USB floppy drive (save for setup.bmp which was corrupted- not needed here but I did grab the one from the PIC2 package so I could put together a complete zip to upload).Ĭonnections including the keyboard connector power tap were identical to those described. And the set of files was pretty much identical. Thanks to the info posted, I knew exactly what to look for on the disk. Just add a PCMCIA adapter, and you've got a CF card reader. This model is a PIA2 (as opposed to Ozzuneoj's PIC2), and is actually an ATA flash reader. I stumbled upon this thread when looking for parallel port storage options, and in a crazy coincidence, immediately found the unit below on ebay.
However, this is definitely where this information belongs. Obligatory apology for the old thread bump. Pierre32 wrote on, 08:52: Obligatory apology for the old thread bump.
