Otherwise, getting PCMCIA >devices working under DOS isn't easy. Maybe I was lucky that EXP set up a driver that didn't even blink under DOS! I think it's a pretty simple little drive. I was never overly impressed with it, it's a 20x about the size of the L50 or bigger. But when Toshiba and EXP offered it at a price far less then other drives back in 1998, I couldn't refuse the deal. Doesn't even NEED drivers with W98... it uses Microsoft's drivers.
