    There seems to be a problem with my 1804wsmi pcmcia port.
    Pcmcia components that respond properly with other notebooks are not working with my 1804. Sometimes I even get blue screens.
    The first card I tried was a sisco wireless card and then I tried a compact flash reader (you can't get any simpler than that).
    I hope that that is a matter of driver incompatibility but then again you never know...
    Is there anyone with the same notebook that is using the pcmcia port with different results?
    In that case I would like to have the driver name and version as reported in the device manager + the filename of the executable that installs the above drivers.
    And if I may be so hopefull, a link to the file.
    Thank you.
