Most cards with some external connection will allow you to remove
or recess the connection for travel. Remember to take any removable
connections with you when you travel if you intend to use the card.
Your system should already be equipped with drivers for the PCMCIA
slot (these are not the same drivers as the ones for the specific cards).
You can check to see if the drivers are loaded by clicking on the plus
sign beside the PCMCIA socket choice in Device Manager. You can reach
device manager via the System icon in the
Control Panel: Start/Settings/Control
Panel/System. Once in the System window,
click on the Device Manager tab. Then
click on the “+” sign beside PCMCIA
Socket to see the PC card drivers. If the
drivers are loaded, you should see “O2Micro
OZ6832/6833 CardBus Controller.”
