<P><FONT SIZE=2>If your PC has any ISA slots, get yourself an ISA=>PCMCIA adapter card. If it only has PCI slots, then get yourself a PCI=>PCMCIA card.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I've discovered that the PCI adapters are a real bitch to get going in older computers, ISA is the way to go if you can. It is possible to get the PCI's going (i've managed in a 486), but there's no guarantee. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>It's to do with PCI Bus and BIOS versions, some older ones won't properley allocate an IRQ to the card.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I'm waiting for a call back from a supplier in SA with some prices on these adapters at the moment.</FONT>
