Purchased a 3Com wired NIC for the OmniBook 530 only to find that the Internet was wrong about it working on the OB530... Bonjour! </comercial reference> The PCMCIA system on this laptop is not standard. So instead of continuing to screw with it, I have purchased an OmniBook 800CT. The 800CT is a Pentium 133MHz laptop upgraded to 32MB of RAM and has fully compliant PCMCIA. I have a WiFi card coming and a PCMCIA flash drive with the Windows 98SE install CD copied to it. I intend on upgrading Win95 (what it is coming with) to Win98 to get the Wifi to work. Then download a Linux distro to it. I have two 8GB PCMCIA cards laying around, So I will be able to keep the Win98se install intact if needed.
