Carl, I have tried two different PCMCIA usb cards and the system
doesn't even beep telling me that it found the card; much less work. Is
there a specific type of PCMCIA usb card that someone KNOWS for certain
will work with the Tecra 730XCDT? If so, I would sure love to know what
it is. This laptop is so perfect for what I need it for (tuning fuel
injection systems) and with Damn Small Linux, it is very fast. Much
faster than win9x was on it so i really would like to get the USB
system workin if possible. It is so much smaller than my big,nice,new
laptop that I sometimes end up using it instead of the $1600 unit that
I should be using...//Peter
