Pete,

You need PCMCIA drivers which cope gracefully with the computer booting
off a PCMCIA hard drive. I have some at my TP730 site - look under the
Win95 installation instructions - http://www.basterfield.com/tp730.

Not quite got it all sorted out. Win95 still insists that the hard drive
is running in compatibility mode but at least it works.

I have a Wireless LAN Entry card in mine; works fine with these drivers.

Cheers,
