Except for three points, if I understand things correctly. One, EZPlay supports hot-plugging, so you can swap out cards on the fly. Not a big deal for me now, as I only have two cards, but I've been dreaming about an external SCSI for a while, so maybe soon ... Second, with EZPlay the cards are functional after the machine returns from hibernation; with my (non-EZPlay modem driver) hibernation is pretty much useless to me if I'm making regular use of the modem as I have to cold start the machine again anyway. Third, I suspect (haven't verified it, though) that the card manufacturers' drivers duplicate card and socket services functionality, so that they will eat up more DOS memory than the combination of EZPlay card & socket + the card enablers. As I posted earlier, I'm thinking seriously about moving to Daytona (the OS, not the city) when it's released, which is rumoured to be imminent. Allegedly it has transparent PCMCIA support for lotsa cards, and will end all this fiddling. I wouldn't bet the farm on it, though. Tim Vetter Frankfurt
