Hi, can anyone point me towards Cisco Aironet 340 drivers for Win 3.1 (If possible)?
I don't know if they exist, but if anyone knows, I would greatly appreciate a little help!

OS/2 Warp 4 Diskettes. Anyone got 'em?
Does anyone have a set of OS/2 Warp 4 diskettes they wouldn't mind parting with?
Mine are all written over, and all I have now are the 2.0 upgrade disks. If this should be in the buying area I'm sorry, i thought the OS/2 board seemed fitting.
Gimme an offer.
Thanks!

My ThinkPads never get thrown out or sold, ans usually last (not an everyday driver) for 10+ years. 770z is in mechanically pristine condition, with a 2 HOUR battery life. It honestly runs cooler, longer and more reliably than my EeePC. Depending on whether you use it as a carry-around work computer...
