It just won't work, you may have to manually eject it. The mod is not that complex, a select few of the comets came cardbus from the factory, but they are few and far between. When inserting a cardbus card into a non-cardbus 2400c (or 3400c or Kanga?), would it even be recognized on the desktop? Or would it just simply not work? I am interested in this to find out why my 2400c/320 seems to draw more power than two other 2400c's I recently sold. Batteries I had as spares, that read as having :40 min. - :60 minutes in my 2400c/320, read as 1.5 hours and up(!) in the two other 2400c's I recently sold... ...and that was BEFORE & AFTER I added the 320mhz Vimage G3 card to it. Before, as a 2400c/180, it still did the same thing w/ the batteries. Our fellow lister Mad "Dawg" suggested that my Power Management might be funky; I reset it and it seems to be okay... So anyway(!) I suspect that my 2400c may be cardbus modified, IF that would change the power consumption rate... Craig W. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
