Sorry for my previous post without a subject.

Hi all,

I'm having a small problem with my OS 10.2.8 PowerBook G3  
(Wallstreet) and PC Cards. Yesterday I received a DVD-Video PC Card  
that is made specifically for the PowerBook G3 Series computer  
(thanks Thane). I tried the card in the lower PC card slot like  
Apple's web site says to do but the card shows up as "Unrecognized  
model, Unrecognized vendor". If I place it in the upper slot it shows  
up as and Apple DVD-Video card, but Apple says the card won't work in  
the upper slot (something about zoomed video) and sure enough Apple's  
DVD Player wont launch. I tried booting into OS9 and this time the  
finder would unexpectedly quit every time I inserted the card in the  
lower slot. (upper slot recognized the card). This leads me to  
believe there is something wrong with the lower PC card slot. Is  
there anything I can tinker with myself without having to send it out  
for service?
