think i will admit defeat with my current pcmcia 3com etherlink combo..tried all the drivers card patch resets etc..can see the card is reseting ..light goes off an on ..etc..but my 1200 just cannot seem to find the card so i give up ..maybe the card an cable bought seperatley are not compatible ..anyway ..what im seeking ..unless someone has a ready made solution ..is advice on what other cards are compatible an used by people on here ..wireless or not so i can keep my eyes on ebay for maybe a solution that will work..really would like this machine online eventually..one day..:>
