Kernel Panics with PCMCIA memory card readers

[Lee Wilmeth]

Folks,

Previously we had discussed problems with the 17 inch powerbooks, 
10.2.6, and kernel panics when inserting PCMCIA memory card 
adapter/readers. Long story short, after a reinstall of 10.2.6 from 
scratch, I have determined that it's not the Mac OS. With only Apple 
applications installed, the PCMCIA card memory adapters/readers work 
fine. But, after installing Microsoft Office v.X, I'm back to kernel 
panics. Has anyone else been able to solve this problem?


  Also, another semi-weird event is the spin up of all my attached 
firewire drives before IE 5.2.2 will even show me a window that isn't 
grayed out. Any ideas why?
