Notes on using PC cards
❑
For some PC cards, if you alternate between normal power operation and the
System Suspend or System Hibernation power-management modes while
the card is inserted, you may find that a device connected to your system is
not recognized. Reboot your system to correct the problem.
❑
Some PC cards may require that you disable idle devices when using the PC
card. You can use Sony Notebook Setup to disable devices. See “Displaying
the Sony Notebook Setup Screen” in the online manual “Customizing Your
VAIO® Notebook” for details.
❑
Be sure to use the most recent software driver provided by the PC card
manufacturer.
❑
If an “!” mark appears on the Device Manager tab in the System Properties
dialog box, remove the software driver and then reinstall it.

You may not be able to use some PC cards or some functions of the PC card
