Hi there..

...thanks for your help so far. I've tested the system again with a 500MB
IBM microdrive

I ran:

/etc/pcmcia/start

It seems to go through the configuration process, but exits!

I received the following message:

I created a mount point 'pcmcia' under /mnt and tried to mount the PCMCIA
card using the command:

mount -t vfat /dev/hdc/ /mnt/pcmcia

... but get:

Mounting /dev/hdc on /mntpcmcia failed: No such device

...so not sure what's going on.

Looking forward to hearing your comments/ideas/solution.

All the best

Simon
