Hard Disk Storage Media

Courier operates with a Type III PCMCIA (PC Card) hard disk. The following types of disks have been tested and are supported by Courier :
  • Calluna 130MB hard disk (Type III).
  • Calluna 170MB hard disk (Type III).
  • Integral Viper 170MB hard disk (Type III).
  • Calluna 260MB hard disk (Type III).
  • Calluna 260MB hard disk (Type II).
  • Calluna 520MB hard disk (Type III).
  • Calluna 1040MB hard disk (Type III).
  • Kingston Technology 2GB hard disk (Type II).
The Toshiba 5GB and 10GB hard-disks will operate with the Courier, but unfortunately, only 2GB of the drive can be addressed, i.e. only 2GB used for recording and playback.



Flash Card Storage Media

Courier can also record to a Type II PCMCIA Flash Card and operates more quickly than when using a hard disk.
Any flash card that conforms to the PC Card Standard '95, is PCMCIA 2.0/2.1, JEIDA Ver 4.1/4.2 compatible, or uses the words "ATA Flash" should operate with Courier. The following types of disk have been tested with Courier :
  • Kingmax Kingdisk 20MB ATA Flash Card.
  • SanDISK Inc FLASH disk SDP5, SPD5A equivalent.
  • Fujisoku 160MB ATA Flash Card.
  • Simple Technology ATA Flash Card.
