   PCMCIA confilicts revisited and unresolv   
   02 Oct 03 00:57:32

   I appreciate the earlier comments on my problems with a resource   
   conflict with PCMCIA cards.   
      
   The ThinkPad 600 supports most of Be very well. Be installs easily and   
   runs pretty well. However there are conflicts that I do not seem to be   
   able to resolve. The biggest one being a conflict between DMA and PCMCIA.   
   The devices preferences shows that they both are using the same I/O port.   
      
   I have had no luck in changing any resources and so have been unable to   
   manually resolve the conflict. If I select skip the BIOS in the safe   
   mode options when I boot, there is not conflict, but then BeOS does not   
   seem to realize that the laptop has PC card slots.   
      
   If I boot normally into BeOS with a card in the slot, the system crashes   
   and drops into the debugger. If I boot with out a card in the slot and   
   install a card after the system is booted, the system continues to run   
   fine. PC Card Wizard will then see the card and say it is installed,   
   however the card is still not usable by BeOS.   
      
   Both the Psion Modem and 3Com ethernet card are listed in the databases   
   as being supported cards. If anyone has any more suggestions, I would   
   really like to hear them.
