[HELP]Install Home&Away IBM PCMCIA on TP 365XD under NT4.0 WS



Hello,

I finally went through all installation of NT 4.0 on my TP365XD, and only 
one thing doesnt work: the Home&Away IBM PCMCIA adapter.

It worked perfectly under Win95 on the same machine. I know this card is 
kind of a rat to configure but hey, at ~U$40, you know its worth to give 
it a try. I think I have seen some posts here of people using that card.

After installing NT4 PCMCIA drivers from IBM (PC Card Director) and
following instructions, NT sees the card (Control Panel, PC Card(PCMCIA))
as an "IBM w95 Home and Away Credit Card" (socket 1 or 2) but displays it
with a red cross. I flashed the card with the HAWIN95.EXE files, 
unflashed it, etc.

Under Properties|Device status, Card Info says: No Database entry for 
this card. Of course I need the drivers. Will the Win95 drivers work? I 
cant say, since the Driver tab has the Add/Remove/Configure buttons grayed 
out!

Now, how do I add this card entry to the "Database"?

If anyone is using this card under NT4.0 WS (english), let me know how 
you did it! I tried right clicking the inf file on the diskette, but as 
you knowthe multi-adapter driver must first be installed and then the 
Network and Modem child(children?). Adding COM2 manually (Control Panel, 
Ports) doesnt help, RAS insists on installing in COM1, and the network 
setup does not findthe adapter.

Thanks in advance to anyone with any lead on this. I think I will put up 
something on my WWW page after I get everything OK.
