Been nearly three days and your tips work like a charm. My dumpings are nearly non-existent (had a hardware conflict with a pcmcia card but solved). Very helpful.
Thank you!

However, at least on an X40, the drive works perfectly powered from a USB port, and in fact it also runs from a non-powered USB hub at...

Re: A tale of bios revisions and pc100 vs. pc133 ram (the T2
IBM in my opinion did a sterling job to keep the T2x series as useful as possible for as long as possible. Hear, hear. It's been more than 6 years since the T2x was introduced, and as recently as last month we've had a BIOS upgrade...not to mention several other software updates after that. IBM/Len...

Didn't want to start a new thread, as this seems related. I have a USB 2.0 PCMCIA card which is labelled as a PUC-102 and it seems to have an NEC chipset on it.

Well Musti, thanks for that. I did not know XP had a burner program, I guess I wouldn't find it as I don't have a drive yet. Is there somewhere I can see the program now, or is it part of the plug-n-play process that sets it up? Normally a CD/DVD Burner is automatically recognized. Then you insert ...
