I installed a 3com 3c589 PCMCIA last weekend in a 750. I would appear
that there is no way to put the card in standby. (Though I suspect that
the machine can choose not to power up the socket). My requirement is to
leave the card in the machine when traveling, but not have powered up.
- Does anyone know if when the driver is not loaded, does the card draw
minimal power (read much less than 100ma)?
- What about other PCMCIA 802.3 card (i.e. IBM's)? Any experience?
- When I hot plug the card the machine quits (i.e. screen goes blank and
then reboots). It is like the card pulls down the power supply and the
machine thinks it was reset. Problem with my 750's DC to DC
converter?
