How to Copy a Binary File to a PC Card
Copying a binary file (or any file really) to a PC Card is possible in exactly the same way as copying a binary file to any other kind of external hard drive or removable media. That's because Windows treats all removable media that is re-writable (i.e. PC Card drives, SD cards, CF cards, etc) in exactly the same way. The system sees them pretty much the same way that it sees a hard drive and treats it as such.

Tips & Warnings
If you prefer not to drag, you can also right-click the file you want to copy, select "Copy" and then move your cursor to your PC Card's window. Right click and select "Paste."
Do not remove your PC Card until the copy procedure has been completed. Doing so may cause the file to not be copied properly.
