It's a neat little toy. I came across the PCMCIA controller card for one a
few weeks ago and ended up finding more about the -e than the card itself.
IIRC the model number is 9533-- put that in the search and you should end up
with some good hits. I just found
http://www.tavi.co.uk/ps2pages/ohland/9533.html in an old msg to myself. If
it's the one I'm thinking of, it's a good read.

NT... ^_^ AFAIK the slots are the standard Intel 82365 and should be seen
just fine. I have not tried this, as I haven't had the time to find a case
that the card will fit into, it seems to be just a hair wider than normal.
That and the eject mech. make for a tight fit.

I'm looking for one if anyone has a spare. I don't need the PCMCIA
controller.
