An addition to the DT&T story....now, whenever i boot up it automatically ejects my pcmcia compact flash reader. it never used to do this before. however, my gv 56k/ethernet card is not ejected. could it be they cardbus enabled the 2400c? on cardbus enabled machines, are some pcmcia cards ok to boot with? hmmm.... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
