[Ti] PCMCIA card for Ti - any success stories out there?

[W. Scott Street IV]

Malcolm,

I have the same card adapter, and I had the same problems with 10.2.x.  
It worked fine with 10.1.x.  The only fix I've had is to upgrade to 
Panther.  With 10.3.x, I no longer have the problem with kernel panics.
