CardSoft was provided for the 32bit PC card support ie CardBUS aka 32bit
PCMCIA cards.
This is not an issue with WIN95 OSR2 (the B version) which has this built
in.
You now actually have both OSR2's PCMCIA support and CardSoft's .
IBM was on drugs .....again. ;-}
If anyone has found a REAL advantage to CardSoft , PLEASE let us know.
Panasonic Did they same on their CF-62 line of laptops. Mind you they
originally did ship with
WIN95 A not B.
