Re: IBM PCMCIA HDD



Hi Stanley,
I got out my PCMCIA disk (same one as yours) the other day, and it does
not work as well as I remembered.  The way I can get it to work (and
I'll be the first to admit this is not an elegant workaround) is by
removing it in device manager and rebooting.  When it reboots, it finds
the PCMCIA disk, installs it and gives it a drive letter.  In my desktop
system, I also have to remove the PCI IDE controller, which I don't use,
but W95 insists on installing for me.  Obviously, this may not be an
exact workaround for your 701, but it should give you a couple of things
to try.
