Hardware Problem

[Mark Phillips]

Dennis,

When I ran this laptop under Windows 95 all the pcmcia slots were 
interchangeable. I could put the network card or hard drive in any of them and 
they would work. I am pretty sure the problem lies with the OS.

Any other suggestions - besides going back to Windows  <g>

Mark,

Four PCMCIA slots? Seems like alot. <g>

Look closely at the slots to see if one is maked with a symbol indicating
that it is CardBus. All your slots may not support 32bit.
