[Lorraine Offord & Tony Wills]

Hi Lindsay,

Ok, I've got a Toshiba T4600, 486DX33, 200MB HDD, 12MB RAM, with two PCMCIA
network cards (3COM).

All seems to be working ok (its got Win95 on at the moment, and it
recognises the cards).
Do you want 10baseT or 10base2 interfaces?

Then there is the other question, does coyote support PCMCIA? I suspect not
because of the extra space the drivers would take up, but I've never
looked.  Then again the HDD is big enough, but if you used that (instead of
a floppy based coyote), it would be one more element to wear out and cause
the system to fail.

What do you think?

--- Tony
