I've been tinkering around with my refurb'd Compaq Armada M300 (no CD-ROM). I was going to load up win98 onto it by means of using the network through DOS to get to my other comp. I pretty much got everything I needed like the pc card driver and MS workgroup connection for my network client. The only prob is I can't get the pc card slot to work in DOS. I combed compaq's website and it doesn't look like they have a driver for that. Any ideas? I guess I may just have to break down and do things the easy/slow way and get a laplink cable.

You have to have PCMCIA drivers loaded in the config.sys file in order for DOS to be able to use your PCMCIA port. http://www.geocities.com/prestonlewis open the PCMCIA page and take a look.

I have a ComPaq Contura so have seached Compaq Site before!
