Hi, i bought an "old" Toshiba T200 CS/80 Pentop at ebay. I would like to use it as a wireless internet machine. I have installed Windows for Pencomputing (a special version of Windows 3.11) Everything works fine. My only problem is finding a driver for my Elsa Airlancer MC2 PCMCIA wireless network card. I searched everywhere but wasn't able to find drivers for 3.11! The Networkcard is also known as Z-Com LanEscape and is based on the PRISM Chipset. There is a driver for Linux, but Linux is not my operating system of choice. I installed Win95 on my machine (with doublespace on the tiny 80 M harddisk) but it slowed everything to a crawl. I would even buy another wireless pcmcia card if someone told me it works with 3.11
Any answer would be nice, Sascha

I am not aware of a 3.11 driver for any 802.11b (or a) card. By now you have prob figured this out and upgraded to Win95. If not then let me suggest this as your solution.

You'll need a Win95 Upgrade set and prsuming you do not have a floppy drive, you need to set up Interlink to access a machine with a CD.

I have configued two different modems and a network card on mine under 95. Works great.

BTW, have you used fdisk to check and see how big your drive's partition actually is? Under 3.x you can not access 80MB. My machine had an 80MB partition but could only see 40MB under 3.1.

Good luck.

Warren
