The expansion card I have is the Apollo 1230 lite lc with 8meg of ram.

There you go..

This card is NOT PCMCIA friendly when more than 4MB of RAM is fitted.

p.s.  I see some memory jumpers on the pic for that board.  Perhaps you can disable some of the RAM using those??

so if i set the jumpers to use just 4 meg of ram will the 8 meg ram downgrade to 4 meg?
It's worth trying..
Sometimes that works.
It did with my Microbotics 8M RAM (not accel) card, but it was designed for that.  It even had software to enable/disable the extra 4M if I wasn't going to use the PCMCIA.

I'd say give it a shot..

No. It's the same driver.
Actually, it might get it working...  (And I stress might)

Piru's right, it won't change the PCMCIA / Accelerator issue, but if you have your card set to 4M and it still conflicts, then that's probably not your problem.

Might be more likely a config/software issue.

And even installing the same things differently can make a difference..

I wouldn't bank on it "fixing" your issue, but if you are at 4M with your Accel and it still isn't working, it feels more like software, or your WiFi card isn't working..
