Which of the 6 mainstream (requiring 3 different enpic enablers if coded correctly, or 6 if not) or 3 non-mainstream (unlikely to ever be supported unless someone who owns one does the code) PCMCIA bridge chipsets is being used by Dell to implement PCMCIA on your Lattitude? Is it an Intel, Intel, or IBM? If so, the current code should work. If it is Cyrix or AMD, you'll need a different enabler, and if it is one of the two European chips or the one from Hitachi (I think), good luck.
