Re: PCMICA Network and Modem card



How hot should a 56k 10/100 combo card get?  I have a Xircom I picked up
cheap but it gets hot.  I mean hot enough that I have to be carefull not
to burn myself when I remove it if my machine has been on for a while.  I
also notice a significant hit in the battery life when the card is
inserted.  Is this normal?
