Hi, I am trying to boot a gatway solo 9300 to a network using a 3com 3c592d pcmcia card. I need to run the card manager first and when I do it displays a divide overflow error. Has anyone had the same problem?
I had the exact same problem. Here is the solution. Older PCMCIA 3COM drivers will NOT work on a computer that is a Pentium 3 500mhz or higher. Since your 9300 is a P3 600mhz the 3COM drivers will not work. You will have to check 3COM's site if they have an updated driver for your boot disk or use a different net card. I used a 3COM 3CCFE575BT(CT will work too) and downloaded the newer DOS Driver.
