Just thought of it, I bought Systemsoft's Cardsoft Wizard Pro over
the weekend to see how well it worked. If you have never heard of it,
it's a 3rd party PCMCIA driver system that replaces your PCMCIA
drivers.
Systemsoft claims that their software automates dealing with a lot
of PCMCIA problems, though I didn't find it to be any more
impressive than EZ Play, though it may take slightly less memory
(75k DOS) and is a little slicker looking.. I haven't tried out the
power saving options yet, so I'm unsure how well it meshes with APM.
I talked to their tech support group once (over a problem that was
really my fault) and found them prompt, helpful and friendly. When I
called while they were busy, they responded to my voice mail message
in under 30 minutes and called me back at their expense (despite
their not having a toll-free support line).
I'm unsure if it's worth the $65 for Thinkpad owners who already have
pretty good PCMCIA support (I haven't tried any esoteric cards yet,
so it's possible this will come through in the long run if I try
anything out of the ordinary) but if any of you have friends with
laptops with less than stellar PCMCIA support, this might be a
decent product for them to look at.
