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?
755c - small unit, nice color screen albeit tiny, excellent feel keyboard
refurbished by IBM (screen and keyboard)
1.2gb drive
good batteries
32mb memory upgrade
original AC cable
SCSI card and cable
external / portable CD rom drive
Pcmcia modem w/ cable
Win 95
Photoshop, Pagemaker, Acrobat (full version), ATM & many Postscript fonts, Faxworks, MS Office, Direct CD, MSIE/Netscape/Opera, WinFTP, McAfee anti virus, Quicktime


Any ideas?

thanks

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.
