ABSTRACT:
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.
