I have some time on my hands, so I am busy getting PCMCIA to work on my new
Acer travelmate 512T with O2Micro OZ6832/6833 Card Bus Controller .
I'm running a Slink system. I downloaded the 2.2.10 kernel source and baked
a new kernel (took six minutes), installed it and it worked.
Then downloaded
Problem - I have 123M of HDD to work with on my Toshiba 486 laptop- I was
just going to install Linux on it, but my T1910 uses a .exe file to
manipulate BIOS settings, and this file runs under MS-DOS. SO . . .will
Linux allow access to BIOS settings some other way, OR, can I run MS-DOS
emulation s
If you can boot from a floppy, that might be the easiest thing.

Hoi Hans,
It's easy to do pcmcia with Tomsrtbt. Just /usr/sbin/pcmcia start if I'm
not wrong. You should be able to insert and remove all cards you want
when it's running. Good luck!

Yes.
I am currently using a Zip Plus 100 through the paralell port on my
Toshiba 510CDT. There's a 'mock' scsi drive that you need to compile in
order to use it. A HOW-TO and the driver can be found
Yes, you can, but you'll need to start with the boot disks since LInux won't
recognize the ZIP disk right off the bat. A few disks in, and the
installation will let you mount your ZIPs and switch over. I believe you
have to go through the module selection, then it will let you mount the ZIP.
I have Dell Inspiron 7000, with a ethernet card as well as a modem
card. I'm attempting to set up a mail transfer agent so that while at
work (ethernet) it works fine, and while at home (modem) it only sends
mail while connected, otherwise it queue's them (or just normal mail
transfer agent activi
