Id love it if youd be able to find it and pass the link on to me, I looked
at tosh's site and couldnt find it in the search at all.

I tried that when I had Win98 on, but datasuite couldnt see the phone. Could
under the in driver, but that isnt much use unfortunately =O(

I take it that playback of a DivX movie is out of the question on a 166MHz
processor? What if I clocked it to 266MHz?
Has anyone tried one of the Margi MPEG2 DVD decoder cards on a lib?

In my case it is always set as COM1, which is sharing it with the built
inCOM port on the docking station. Is this how it should be as it seems in
my situation that this is going to interfere with things that want to use
the physical COM1 port?

Ive found that it says that it is sensing for devices under Win95, but does
not detect them. It detects them fine under WIn98.
