1. INTRODUCTION
This manual describes the following DOC Driver utilities for Windows XP and DOS that may be
used with SanDisk’s mDOC H3 products:
• DFORMAT
• DINFO
• DIMAGE
• SPLITIMAGE
• MNGIMG
Note: DOC Driver supports only mDOC H3 devices. DOC Driver 1.0 software utilities also
support only mDOC H3 devices.
A description of the utility flags is provided, including specific examples and basic instructions
to assist in easy and quick installation of mDOC H3 over the target platform.
This manual is intended for system integrators who are familiar with the PC environment and the
operating system in use. It is also recommended to read the relevant mDOC H3 product data
sheets and installation instructions for your specific operating system.
1.1. mDOC H3
SanDisk’s mDOC H3 products are high-performance, single-chip flash disks that provide full
hard-drive emulation for all major operating systems (Oss) and platforms. This unique product
line offers a complete boot and data storage solution for applications, such as embedded systems,
feature phones, smartphones and PDAs. mDOC H3 provides superior performance through a true
16-bit bus interface, X2 technology and offers security-enabling and data-protection features.
A DOC Driver is required to work with all mDOC H3 products. DOC Driver is natively
supported by every major OS, such as Windows Mobile, Symbian, Palm, and Linux. For other
environments (including OS-less), a DOC Driver Software Development Kit (SDK) can be
obtained.
