On second thought, I removed the net card that was in
the slot (a 3C Megahertz 10/100 PCMCIA card) and
replaced it with another that I had on hand (a Netgear
card of some sort). It worked with the Netgear. I'm
surprised it didn't work with the 3C. Strange.
Hopefully perhaps it will detect the 3C when I remove
the Netgear and replace it with the original card
(3C).
The base system is now installed on the notebook.
Thanks for the suggestions.
