I am tring to load Windows 98 onto an IBM thinkpad 560X using a PCMCIA CD-ROM, i managed to download software for card and socket services from the IBM Website but it tells me it cannot run in DOS, how can i get Card and Socket Services 2.0 to load in DOS?? and where can i find the software, i have looked everywhere!

Darren, can you post the url to the page where you downloaded this? (same me looking) On my thinkpads, there are some driver downloads for both windows, and dos, for example the soundcard stuff for my old 360x series. I'm SURE that it has to be there somewhere. I recently bought a 380xd (233mhz) and I spent HOURS downloading stuff for it. I looked, and I have a disc (downloaded) called something about CDROM for dos, and another "Cardsoft for dos" That thing came with W95, so I'm sure it's there, somewhere. In my opinion, thinkpads are supported about as well as anything out there, at least the files for the older stuff is pretty much online at ibm. I hear complaints all the time about people not finding stuff for Compaq's.

Darren, I think I found it. Go the www.ibm.com, select support, notebook, 560x, downloadable files, the model (560x), and "driver matrix". Its there, "pcmcia etc etc for DOS"

Funny that, I have always found Compaq drivers for poeple when they have asked for them!
