Hello!
I am a NASA contractor. We are preparing to fly several
IBM thinkpad 755Cs on STS-85 in July.
The machines have 12Megabytes ram, 540Meg hd.
They will also have Thomas Conrad TC5141-2 pcmcia ethernet
cards.
Anyone know what pcmcia controller chipset is in these
puppies?
I need to know because we want to use Linux with them.
Thanks!

The 755C uses the Intel chipset. You don't need to know this; the
PCMCIA drivers will figure it out automatically. I am using a 755C
running Linux right now, with PCMCIA support -- it automatically
configures itself correctly with no trouble.
