by I have a Toshiba Tecra 700CT running Mandrake 6.1, with PCMCIA v3.1. PCMCIA
starts okay, but when I insert a card (or during boot-up if the card is
inserted), I hear a low beep followed by a high beep. I'm assuming that the
low beep means that the card can't be identified, as /var/log/messages shows
it as "Anonymous Memory". The card, a 3Com 3C589C, is identified correctly
by the 3Com diagnostic utility in DOS.
I understand that changing the BIOS setting from Card Bus to 16-bit mode is
supposed to fix this, but I don't see any way of changing this from within
the BIOS (version 5.5). I've tried to update to the current BIOS (v5.6),
but when I try this, I get an error that says it's not the right version of
Flash ROM.
Is there another way to change the BIOS setting, or is there a way I can
update the BIOS so that it provides this option?
Thanks,
Max
