Hi,

Jim, with the Thinkpad 760el I do not have the option to configure the bios
irq. It would be nice to have that option at the bios level but the
configuration must be done via utility and that too is limited for these
older laptops.

I tried several live cd os on the 760el, knoppix,slax and DSL. No joy. With
Knoppix it would not configure the card. Slax and DamnSmall ignored
completely.

I do have issues with hotplugging on this laptop. The only reason I'm trying
to use such an antique, is that they are cheap and will make a good small
controller. Not if I had to account for the time spent on this pcmcia
problems! :-)

Thanks for the feedback!
