P.S.  Is it a true PCMCIA not a CARDBUS nic?

If it has gold stripe where pins plugin its cardbus and the voltages may not be supported by that older hardware

Trolling? Heck no. I just like to understand why to do things before I do them. Trolls generally are not after information/understanding.

As such, I do not understand why ram/swap disk would be causing said rebooting when the cardmgr program initiates the pcmcia card. I especially do not understand how a different window manager would assist, considering the window manager seemingly has nothing to do with cardmgr causing reboot before even the initial login prompt appears.

If you can qualify the arguements then I would certainly consider downloading the 2.0 .iso. Until then, I would rather preserve my bandwidth.

Now if someone could please provide some less cryptic information, preferably without any accusations towards myself, I would be very grateful.

AwPhuch,

No, there is no gold stripe.

The card itself is almost identical structurally to the panasonic pcmcia card for the external CD drive, that worked fine under win95, except that the plug where it connects to the cable to the device is different. I can provide photos if need be.

If your pcmcia card works fine on the exact same computer but when it is running Win95  then it is not a hardware problem.

According to this guy, it does not support Cardbus but for you it is not a problem:

Also, it might help to disable apm support by booting with:

dsl noapm acpi=off

but it is just a shot in the dark.
