Laptops :: PCMCIA/cardbus help
I'm currently running DSL on an old Compaq presario 1220 laptop (cyrix 233mhz 32mb ram).
I have an epass usb 2.0 card bus here I'd like to use. However, when I put the card in nothing happens. No power, no system recognition. (PCMCIA modem works fine).
I think that this old laptop may not support 32 bit cardbus but I can't find the info online.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

A Novell test using this laptop and a Cardbus network/modem card.
Also, this laptop is mentioned in the PCMCIA howto:

My google skills must suck...I never came across those.
Sorry about that
hmmm...I guess I did see that how-to, but missed the 1220 reference.
Still, that card you mention is a 16bit, not 32 bit. I haven't been able to determine for sure if this system supports 32-bit cardbus.
I'll carefully read through the how-to...but, a lot of it is greek to me.
Thanks again
