Thank you (Eric Wong) for your input about your PCMCIA SCSI card. At last, I know that it is possible to have it working with Win95 drivers on a TP750 ! So, there is definitely a problem in my configuration (monochrome TP750 with the same BIOS as yours), and I should try a complete reinstall of Win95... whenever I have time. However, there is still one thing that I do not understand. Two days ago, I saw a TP701 with Win95 in a computer shop. I looked into the device manager, and noticed that (in "by connection" mode) the "PCMCIA card" stuff hung under "P&P BIOS". On my TP750, it hangs directly under "Computer", which sounds correct as the BIOS is not supposed to support plug-and-play. Now, how comes that the PC card can still be hot swapped and is correctly detected, including attached disks ? What is the P&P BIOS for ? Dos anybody on the list know about it ?
