Re: PCMCIA CD-ROM
I have a Sony Discman PRD-150 on my 755C and it runs fine under both
DOS and Windows. I like it a lot except for battery life - I get about
20 minutes in data mode. It adjusts the transfer speed depending on its
power situation (plug it in to the adapter and it switches to High Speed mode).
Windows 95 (MSDN pre-release) doesn't like it though and Sony say that they
won't have a new driver until Windows 95 is shipping.
