Hi nokolon.

Since you've connected to the Thinkpads Forum, you evidently have an Internet connection on some machine.

Use that machine and download the drivers. If for Win 95, 98, W2k, etc, then they are less than 1 Mb, and will easily fit on to a floppy disk, or burn them to a CD. Copy the file(s) from the floppy/CD to the hard drive, and when Windows asks for a location of the drivers, direct the search to you HD file(s).

Do a search on where to download the drivers....I can't help there, since I have a Belkin card in my 380XD, and the drivers aren't compatible.

Regards.

Dave

Hi olex,
After installing drivers from the CD my computer see my PC card as PC card :D This is small success.
But in Device Manager it has small black exclamantion mark with yellow background,
and worst of all is that I still do not have internet connection.
Do I have to install drivers for the PC card or do something more than put in card to my computer?

Go to Thinkpad 380Z on the Drivers link above and select Networking for downloading drivers.

Sorry, but which link? I can not see any link in the discussion :(
I have downloaded all files from this page: https://thinkpads.com/support/Thinkpad- ... /380z.html
Should I be connected to the internet after inserting the cable?
Or should I take some extra steps?

That Drivers link is at the top of EVERY Forum page...

Homepage * Forum * Drivers * HMM * MTM * Feed

But I see you already went there.

Connect via ethernet if you use
