I've seen that from time to time on my 490CDT. Usually I just reinsert the
card a second time, and it eventually works.
We've previously noticed something odd in Toshiba laptops related to the way
the BIOS handles PCMCIA cards. The default setting is set to "Auto", but I
found I had to choose "PCIC Compatible" at one stage to get my card running
satisfactorily. I can't remember precisely what my problem at the time was,
I've just left it at that setting ever since.
The other day I tried my card (Xircom REM56G/100 Realport) with the other
BIOS PCMCIA settings, and it seemed now to work with the others (the 3rd
choice is "16bit/PC Card").
So try changing the value, maybe it'll help.
