Estimating the term…
Application software and data files (21-25, 31-34) for operating systems and processors having incompatible object code format requirements may be placed on the same memory card (10). Memory card (10) may be used by any system (16, 18) receiving the physical format of memory card (10) and whose operating system can read the logical format of memory card (10). At least one card configuration file (40) having a preselected name unique to each operating system having different object code format requirements is stored on memory card (10). Card configuration file (40) includes the names and location information for only application software and data files (21-25, 31-34) accessible and executable by that operating system. Consequently, each operating system recognizes only that application software and data files having compatible object code format requirements.
A memory card for operating both in a first system having a first object code format and in a second system having a second object code format different than that of said first object code format, the memory card including at least one of an executable application file and a data file, the memory card comprising a card configuration file stored on the memory card specifying the name and location information on the memory card of only each said executable application file having said second object code format and each said data file readable under said second object code format.
A memory card for operating in a plurality of systems including a first system having a first object code format and in a plurality of additional systems each having an object code format different than that of said first object code format, the memory card including at least one of an executable application file and a data file, the memory card comprising a card configuration file stored on the memory card specifying the name and location information on the memory card of only each said executable application file having an object code format different from that of said first object code format and each said data file readable under an object code format different from that of said first object code format.
A method for operating a memory card both in a first system having a first object code format and in a second system having a second object code format different than that of said first object code format, the memory card including at least one of an executable application file and a data file, the method comprising the steps of:
