Compact Flash cards in 755c ?

[sf_photo]

With my TP755c/Win95 I have a modem and SCSI pcmcia card. Both work fine. However when I insert a compact flash card (in a pcmcia adapter) is fails to show up (as a drive letter). The system recognizes the card is in the slot.

If this machine / software is too old to read CF cards, can anyone give me an idea on it's value?

Pcmcia modem w/ cable

Any ideas?

I'm reaching way back for this one, but I'm going to take a stab at it, correct me if I'm wrong. =/

I think the answer is in the dos card & socket services, which you can get from IBM's web site. I believe there are some questions you answer while installing them, and one of them relates to whether or not you're using flash-type cards.

Further, you may have to use a utility with that package to initialize the card, which will erase it. But try just installing first.
