Your assertions about the non usefulness of the 16 > > bit pccard compatibility mode setting on my 800CT are utterly incorrect. hmm, did i say this overharshly? to a broad audience? that wasn't respectful, and i apologize. in my defence i must say that i was excited and that the information was significant because it makes this computer very useful with FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE. And perhaps worthless with 4.4-RELEASE. :-( it's possible that other laptops with this chipset and SystemSoft bios may also be amenable to being used in this fashion, so i really feel this was a fact worth sharing. > Since you haven't bothered to quote my previous comment, it's hard to > know what exactly you're referring to, well, i am certainly guilty of failing to quote you directly. i had deleted it. it was a funny and illuminating response in many respects, and i appreciated the fact that you took the time to respond. but it wasnt a reference quality piece of email, so i deleted it. i am not finding the thread in freebsd-mobile 2001 on geocrawler, which is a bit of a disappointment. > but based on the rest of your message, I think you are participating > in the latest FDA trials related to legalising frog-derived > hallucinogens. that's astounding! but i recognize that given your firmly held assumptions it would be easier to make disparaging remarks than try and drill down to the facts. would it be helpful to you to have access to the box? i can arrange for you to login to it and wander about if you would like. > However, I'm glad that pushing enough different buttons has at least > gotten your pccards working, well, actually, a very simple, singular button! Enter the bios, go to the boot devices menu and change the setting from 'CardBus enabled' to 'pcic compatible' save the current settings and exit the bios. > if not actually produced any stage plays worth mentioning.
