I have a TP755CD, and I just bought a Simple Technologies Communicator PCMCIA modem. (for use with linux). I wanted to test it out in win3.1 just to be sure the thing works, since I haven't tried to set up the PCMCIA services in linux yet. I load all the PCMCIA drivers at startup, and enter win3.1. I make sure there is power to the PCMCIA port, disable the mwave modem and pop the card in. When I open the PC card director, it seems to know there is a card in the slot, but there is a big red X over the icon. It can't seem to recognize the card at all. When I tell it to register the card, it says that it failed to retrieve the vendor string (or something like that). Now I think the card should automaticly be recognized since I'm using the 2.1 release of card services. I turned the computer off and on and entered ezsetup and tested the PCMCIA diagnostic and everything checks out ok. Do you think the card is bad? I've never used the PCMCIA slots on this machine so I can't TOTALLY rule out the possibility of a hardware problem, but the same thing happens for either slot. Does anyone have any advice? -Mike
