I have been running Linux on my 755CD for the last two years. Works pretty good but the MWave stuff is not fully supported. If you boot DOS first and initialize the MWave, then the Sound Blaster emulation and listening to audio CDs works. No go on the modem part though. I have not used the PCMCIA card you mention. I use a GVC ethernet card and a GVC modem card which both work great. The only trick with it is the CDROM drive. The 1.2.13 Linux kernels don't support it very well and it loses data. The problem was fixed in the first 1.3 release so its easy to patch 1.2.13 by copying the drivers/block/ ide-cd.c stuff from a 1.3.1 release or just upgrade to the newest 2.0.x kernels. Let me know if I can help you more! > Specifically... > > 1) Mwave Modem > 2) IBM 4/16 T/R PCMCIA card > 3) internal CDROM > > Thanks, > > Joe Leonard > MCI Business Markets, St. Louis, MO > joe.leonard@mci.com > (314)719-3134 +----------------------------Ren & Stimpy--------------------------------+ | "Psst.
