Re: PCMCIA nightmare - help!
Another thing to check is the mode the PCMCIA is using.
On my Toshiba laptop, there was a setting for Cardbus or PCIC-Compatible
in the BIOS settings. If it's not a Cardbus card, turn off the Cardbus
support and that might help. Once I set my PCMCIA stuff in the BIOS to
PCIC-Compatibile, everything came up roses for PCMCIA on my Toshiba
Portege' 3015CT.
