That depends on whether the other OS mimicks the DOS format, most of
the PCMCIA cards that I have seen do actually do that - even if they
are just filling in one huges pre-formatted file.
BTW I am no fan of PCMCIA - 'point drivers' are far better.
I have written a couple of MSDOS device drivers and Formatters for
SRAM cards - since this is not really on topic Email me if you need
samples.
