[Duo2400] Re: 2400 pc card slot issue

[Brian Getz]

I tried both 9.1 and 8.6 boots, no go.

The 8.6 is pretty clean only the pc card extensions
and the maxpowr for the processor.

I talked to DT&T, they said it happens sometimes and
you need to replace the cage assembly $95.00, ouch.

Not worth the expense, i will swap the cards.

Oh well.

I guess the next option is an ebay search for a parts
machine.
