Is that so?.. Well.. I've actually got a cardbus card.. just ran the
PCMCIA wizard which didn't find the card, or said something bout not
supporting that type of card.. I know the non-cardbas variant of the
very same card is supported.. so..
Het.. I've got a texas instrument controller!
Do I have to config it to emulate 16bit somewhere?
And do I have to get bone or something?.. Cause I'm running a plain
5.0.3
What cards you got?
