Hi, I have a notebook without hard disk, instead I use a compact flash card. I've installed already Windows 3.11 successfully on it, so I boot with a diskette and work on the CF card with a USB card reader under DOS. This works well but I would like to use the CF PCMCIA adapter instead the USB adapter. I have the Cardsoft drivers/utilities but I don't know where to start. What do I have to do to access the PCMCIA port and to assign it a drive letter from a booting diskette ? Thank you for any help. Jalm

SkipCox, Very cool. Just what I was looking for to link and xfer files to a laptop with a broke CD. How did you find this gem? TY M2

I have a couple of Itronix laptops without floppies or cd-rom drives. They do both have pcmcia slots and both use Phoenix Card Manager. The only bootable external floppy that'll work on these machines is the Accurite and they're a little difficult to find. I don't want to carry all that crap around anyway. So; I bought a couple of 260Mb Viper Drives (TypeIII pcmcia and what the 486 uses for a hdd) and a couple of ATA flash drives to move stuff around with. With a pcmcia add in card for the desktop and an additional parallel port pcmcia/cf drive, I'm pretty well set to transfer files from anything to anything. One of my Itronix machines (X-C6250) will also boot from the pcmcia drive or flash ata card...dual boot in my pocket. Hope it all works out for you. If you run into problems, I can post my Autoexec.bat and Config.sys for the 486 machine and likely the same for the 98se machine. Skip

Hi Skip, Your autoexec & config would be a great help. I got the PCM zip and the flash zip. I have not messed with them because I don't have a PCMCIA. I looked for one several years ago here in Northern Thailand and nobody had 'em. TY M2

Mechanix, You've got mail... Some of the stuff I ended up with off ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=3851505803&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=6720903955&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=6720429102&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT Everything worked just fine and the price was right.

Skip, Got your mail. My SMTP decided to not work right now. Thanks for taking the trouble and sending the goodies. I looked at those links and sounds great. Best regards. M2
