Hi Chris, Well, that's pretty clear - so my question should have been simple to answer. But no, they didn't give me THAT link (in fact, drilling down from their Home page I cannot get to THAT page at all) - first they gave me:
http://www.vmware.com/products/desktop/ws_specs.html Which says nothing about PCMCIA devices. They also gave me: http://www.vmware.com/support/ - click knowledge base on the left Which, of course, I did. I selected VMWare Workstation 4 and used "PCMCIA" as the search argument, which yielded 0 results. So I clicked and read ALL of the other Workstation 4 links (Features, Specifications, Documentation, FAQS, Upgrade FAQS, Host System Requirements, Supported Host Operating Systems and Supported Guest Operating Systems) - and nowhere in ALL of those pages will you find anything concerning PCMCIA. Just for the heck of it, I tried drilling down from ALL of the links on their Home Page and could not find the text you've quoted anywhere - but I appreciate your providing it - that is more than their Sales Associates could/would do. Interesting footnote: I repeated the above exercise using their Knowledge Base, but instead of selecting VMWare Workstation 4 as the product I let it default to "All Products" and BINGO - there was the statement you quoted.
