Re: CLUG Meeting Wednesday 2nd October-trouble shooting

[Ben Devine]

Sorry I haven't Replied,

But I willl most likely be bringing a Toshiba Sattilete Pro. Which Me and my brother are having trouble installing PCMCIA . We have a lan card and modem both from DSE. But i didn't reply because it depends If my mother will let me go. At the moment all lights are green but I didn't commit fully to it just incase she changes her mind like last time. Anyway I was hoping someone could help us install PCMCIA.

Thanks,
Ben
