5300 & PC cards

[Jeff Hubatka]

Is there a difference in the two slots in the 5300? I know with some 
cards on other 'Books, you have to use them in the bottom slot 
(CapSure, DVD). I have a Proxim Harmony PCMCIA card that won't go into 
the bottom slot on a 5300. When I put it in the top slot I get an error 
message saying I don't have the proper software to use it in the top 
slot. The card works with the IOxperts driver on a Lombard in 9.1, but 
we couldn't get it to work in 8.6 on the 5300. So I took my test 750MB 
HD out of the Lombard and put it into the 5300, but I still get the 
same error. And it never goes all the way into the bottom slot, it 
seems to hang up about an eighth of an inch short.

Somewhat related question: While I had the mobo out to try to do some 
soldering, I noticed that the floppy connector is the same as the PC 
cage for the 500 series.....could I possibly use the 500 cage on the 
5300 and get four cards going at the same time? Or put the floppy into 
the left bay on the 540c and run with two floppies?
