1. NEW: Web pages for FlashCard CopyStation II

From now on, you will find all information about our new FlashCard CopyStation II online. We have also enhanced the layout and improved the navigation.

To help you find what’s most important to you even faster, the information is divided into the sections Overview, Applications, Software and Tech Specs.

Moreover, you can also download current product pictures as well as the user guide for the Flash Card CopyStation II. Further information, such as our brochure on altec’s portfolio of CopyStations, a film about the range of altec services etc., are also available.

Have a look for yourself at

We will continue to change all websites on our CopyStations according to this example.

2. NEW: Fixed Device Driver for CF & PC Card

Typically, PC Cards and CompactFlash Cards are recognized under Windows as removable devices in standard PCMCIA slots (for instance in notebooks). But Windows supports only one partition and only FAT-formatted memory cards.

altec developed a new driver for Windows 2000 and XP, which mounts these cards even in standard PCMCIA slots as a Fixed Device, thus making functions such as partitioning or NTFS formatting available like with a HDD.

This way, for instance CF or PC Cards with several partitions, which are used in embedded systems as HDD-replacements, can be used in notebooks as well.

If you are interested in receiving further information or if you need specific adjustments for your applications, please contact our competent sales team.

3. NEW: Website section «Where to buy?»
