PCMCIA chip? A and G series

[cylscore]

Hi

I am looking for a three spindle machine to run OS/2 on. I have not found a definitive answer to what PCMCIA controller these machines use. Is there someone who has one running that would look in Windows hardware manager or run a hardware detection program to get this information?

I am hoping that I can find a good A31 or G41.

I want to have some assurance that OS/2 has a driver available.

Thank you very much.

The Lenovo PSREF (Personal system reference) documents provide such information.

According to what I can see:

* A30 uses Ricoh R5C476-II.
* A31 uses Ricoh R5C552

* G40 uses Texas Instruments PCI-1410A
* G41 uses Texas Instruments PCI-1520

Hi

Thank you VERY much for the quick and very useful reply. I was not aware of PSREF. I will look into that source of information.

I think there is good support for the Texas Instrument chips. I will check for Ricoh support.

Again, thank you very much.

Hi

Thank you very much for the welcome!! How time flies....;>) I joined when I got my T30. It has been happily running OS/2 since. I do still have a use for floppies and I am trying to get the convenience of a machine that has an optical drive and a floppy drive available simultaneously.

Thanks and Aloha
