<DIV>When inserting a cardbus card into a non-cardbus 2400c (or 3400c or
Kanga?), would it even be recognized on the desktop?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Or would it just simply not work?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>...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. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Our fellow lister Mad "Dawg" suggested that my Power Management might be
funky; I reset it and it seems to be okay...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So anyway(!) I suspect that my 2400c may be cardbus modified, IF that would
change the power consumption rate...</DIV>
