Re: Restoring DOS/Win3.1 Card Services for TP701cs?
Here's what it says in the file for the mobiles directory, if you still
haven't found this:
PCTPX130.EXE 523195 07-24-95 PCMCIA dsk v1.3-ThinkPads except 760/365
According to the .doc file, this disk should cover PC functions for the
701 in DOS/Win.
