PC Card checklist
❖ Make sure the card is inserted properly into the slot.
See “Inserting PC Cards” on page 150 for how to insert
PC Cards.
❖ Make sure all cables are securely connected.
❖ Make sure the computer is loading only one version of
Card and Socket Services.
❖ Occasionally a defective PC Card slips through quality
control. If another PCMCIA-equipped computer is
available, try the card in that machine. If the card
malfunctions again, it may be defective.
