Hi all,

i´m using a Toshiba Sat. Pro 420 CDT with a Pentium 100, 24MB RAM and 1.3GB HDD. 2MB Grafik.
DSL runs from CD with FDD boot in a vga=788 mode.

so far so gut!

I wanna use this OAP! as an I-Net Communication thing( can´t use it for much else!).

so my problem(s) :

The lappy sits in docking station because of the PCMCIA sockets it has (type 2), my WLAN card is Type2 from Prism (10Mb/s). sounds promising becuase of the integrated prism util in DSL. But DSL does not recognise the slots in the dockingstation. so i have no access to my WLAN card.
Can anybody help me with this?

I would also like to get this running fgrom a CF-Card(128MB) adapter which is in the PCMCIA Slot in the lappy(type 1), i have access at the moment (hde1 its called) and i´m using it as a swap partition.
would it be possible to use this as like an embedded install or am i dreaming too much?

would apreciate some help ´cos am slowly but surely getting out of my depth!

Thanks,
Phase2.
