Make sure all cables are securely connected.
Make sure the computer is loading only one version of Card

control. If another PCMCIA-equipped computer is available,
try the card in that machine. If the card malfunctions again, it
may be defective.
Resolving PC Card problems
Here are some common problems and their solutions:
The slots appear to be dead. PC Cards that used to work no
longer work.
Check the PC Card status:
1
Click the My Computer icon with the secondary button, then
click Properties.
The System Properties dialog box appears.
2
Click the Device Manager tab.
3
Double-click the device listed as your PC Card.
The operating system displays your PC Card's Properties
dialog box, which contains information about your PC Card
configuration and status.
The computer stops working (hangs) when you insert a PC
Card.
The problem may be caused by an I/O (input/output) conflict
between the PCMCIA socket and another device in the system.
Use Device Manager to make sure each device has its own I/O
base address. See
page 196
for more information.
