Tony, I have a L100CT that I have used for at least 2 years with a 1 Gig IBM micro drive and W98SE. This is a CF size drive with a PCMCIA adapter. It has never done this in my Libretto, but it would crash my desk machine running Win98SE on boot (I have a PCMCIA drive in my desktop). I have since gone to W2000 on the L100CT, so I can no longer check it. But the IBM drive does not crash in the L100CT with W2000 either. I also have a 15M CF card that I have used exactly like you do, and I cannot remember it ever crashing the L100CT, but I can't say for sure I booted with it in the L100CT. I also have a Sony MS adapter and multiple size MS flash cards that have been used in the L100CT without ever crashing it. Again, I believe I booted up while I had W98SE installed, but I can't be certain. I get no error message on my desk machine when it fails to boot, it just sits there with a black screen until I pull the flash card and reboot. It would be interesting to know what the problem is. Dick Sullivan Question: If I leave the CF in the Libretto and re-boot Windows 98, Windows 98SE crashes. I remove the CF card, reboot and all is fine. Once Windows is booted I can insert the CF card and Win98 sees it just fine. I've tried it with CF cards that are 64mb, 128mm, 512mb, and 1 gb. Same problem. Windows 98 won't boot with the CF card in place. The message I get is that there is a problem with the STACKS and to increase it. No mater what I do with the STACKS command in the CONFIG.SYS file Win98 crashes on boot with a CF card inserted into the PCMCIA slot. Any ides? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tony Oresteen Montverde, FL
