[Ti] SRAM cards in a PowerBook

Chris,

I run 98 in VPC and, sometimes Win2kPro, and VPC does read the PC 
card slot on the ti-book. Two of my external Firewire drives (running 
off an 800 card) are assigned their own x\, y\ 'drives' in windows.

The card icons, that automatically show up on the OS 9 desktop, do 
not show up on OS X desk. There's a little "TV-like" icon in the menu 
bar, instead. It shows what is plugged in, although seems to have 
trouble showing "Vendor", but no matter, it shows the item, and 
offers Power on/off". Don't know if that'll help, probably not.
