I use a technique to be able to select and load different network
drivers and attach to a network using a single floppy. You should be able to
modify it to work with PCMCIA.
The file is a bit over a MB, so I can't post it to the list, but if you'd (or
anyone else would like) I'll Email it directly to you. Here's the
"instructions" for unpacking and using it:
1. gunzip network.tar.gz
2. tar xvf network.tar in a clean directory
3. create a clean MSDOS formatted diskette including the MSDOS system files.
The system files in network.tar.gz are from Winslop, er, Windows 95
4. copy all of the files you've extracted from network.tar.gz to the diskette
(except command.com - use the one that is already on the diskette from
whatever version of MSDOS you are using).
5. boot the diskette and watch what happens, modify "stuff" and I'll betcha
you can make it do PCMCIA on a single floppy.
Cheers,
Lyle
